The MCP18480 is a Hot Swap controller that allows boards to be safely removed or inserted from an active backplane using -48V.
When PCBs are inserted into a live backplane, highpeak or transient currents from the source are generated due to the charging of the bypass capacitors on the supply. The high transient currents can destroy connectors and capacitors. The high inrush current can pull the input voltage BUS down and reset the system.
The MCP18480 solves this problem by controlling the slew rate of the backplane voltage to the board so that these transients are eliminated. This allows boards to be removed and inserted without causing damage to connector pins and input bulk capacitors, in addition to preventing false resets to the other boards on the backplane.
The MCP18480 can be used in applications in several areas including:
• Telecom Line Cards
• Network Switches
• Network Routers and Servers
• Base Station Line Cards
• Power-Over-LAN
• Power-Over-MDI
• IP Phone Switches/Routers
• Mid-Span, Power-Over-MDI
Two forms of current limit are provided in the MCP18480. These are:
• Foldback
• Circuit breaker
The foldback current-limiting circuit uses an external sense resistor and a voltage that is proportional to the external MOSFET's drain voltage. These are used to keep the MOSFET in its Safe Operating Area (SOA). If the device remains in current limit for a programmed time period, the external N-channel FET is turned off. The option exists to configure the device to automatically restart after a programmed time delay. A programmable catastrophic current limit threshold shuts down the switch (circuit breaker) if excessive current is sensed due to a short-circuit condition.

† Notice: Stresses above those listed under "Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. This is
a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 1: Power Dissipation is calculated as follows: PDIS = VDD x {IDD - IOH} + {(VDD-VOH) x IOH} + (VOL x IOL)
