About this manual

The HIP1012A provides hot‑swap dual power distribution for +5 V and +12 V or +3.3 V and +5 V supplies. It drives external N‑Channel MOSFETs, offers programmable current‑limit thresholds, time‑out control, and fault‑isolation indicators such as PGOOD and over‑current latch signals.

The device includes a built‑in charge pump for the 12 V gate drive, supports selectable voltage‑selection modes, and can be reset by a rising edge on either PWRON pin. Typical applications include RAID systems, hot‑plug components, and general power‑distribution control.

Frequently asked questions

What voltage range does the Vpp supply accept?

The Vpp supply operates from +10.5 V to +13.2 V.

How is the HIP1012A reset?

The device is reset by a rising edge on either PWRON pin.

What is the typical turn‑on ramp source for the external MOSFET gates?

A 10 µA current source charges a gate‑capacitor to create a programmable soft‑turn‑on ramp.

What are the absolute maximum ratings for the VDD pins?

VDD pins are rated from –0.3 V to +13.2 V.
