41. Hot-swap controller handles dual polarity
    Dan Meeks
    Circuits Supply Texas Instruments TPS2331IDR
    .. applications require a hot-swap controller, a circuit-breaker function, or both for dual-polarity, dc-input power-supply rails. In some hot-swap cases, the requirement is based only on inrush-current considerations. Control ...
