to be safely inserted and removed from a live PCI-bus slot.
It has a primary controller that controls the four PCI
supplies and an independent auxiliary controller to control
the 3.3V auxiliary supply. External N-channel transistors
are used to control the 3.3V, 5V and 3.3V auxiliary supplies
while on-chip switches control the –12V and 12V supplies.
The 3.3V, 5V and 3.3V auxiliary supplies can be ramped up
at an adjustable rate. Electronic circuit breakers protect all
five supplies against overcurrent faults. The foldback
current limit feature reduces current spikes and power
dissipation when shorts occur. The PWRGD output of the
primary controller indicates when all four PCI supplies are
within tolerance. The FAULT output indicates an overcurrent
condition for any of the five supplies. Allows Safe Board Insertion and Removal from a
Live PCI Slot …
