The ADM1170 is a hot swap controller that safely enables a printed circuit board to be removed and inserted to a live backplane. It features control of supply voltage ranging from 1.6V to 16.5V, allows protected board removal and insertion with adjustable analog current limit and circuit breaker, soft start control for inrush current profile, peak fault current limited with fast response, charge pumped gate drive for external N-FET switch, automatic retry or latch-off during current fault, and undervoltage lockout.
