Hot-swap integrated circuits prevent system failures by managing the inrush current during live insertion of line cards. These ICs also limit current during the normal operation of high-availability systems. Maxim's solutions are optimized for networking, servers, and storage and telecom systems.
There are Maxim hot-swap devices for 1V to 80V and -9V to -100V voltage rails. The products provide the lowest current-sense threshold and fastest fault response. This range of capabilities makes them the broadest portfolio of hot-swap solutions in the industry.
To enable proactive maintenance and diagnostics, selected hot-swap products improve system reliability by integrating current, voltage, and fault monitoring over an I²C interface. Other solutions integrate a power MOSFET and current sense to simplify design and reduce the total bill of materials (BOM) cost.
