-100V, SOT23/TDFN, Simple Swapper
Hot-Swap Controllers
General Description
The MAX5900/MAX5901 are SOT23/TDFN hot-swap con-
trollers that allow a circuit card to be safely hot-plugged
into a live backplane without causing a glitch on
the power-supply rail. These devices operate from -9V to
-100V and provide the simplest hot-swap solution by
eliminating all external components except an external
n-channel MOSFET.
The MAX5900/MAX5901 limit the inrush current to the
load and provide a circuit-breaker function for overcurrent
protection. During startup, the circuit-breaker function is
disabled and the MAX5900/MAX5901 limit the inrush cur-
rent by gradually turning on the external MOSFET. Once
the external MOSFET is fully enhanced, the circuit-break-
er function is enabled and the MAX5900/MAX5901 pro-
vide overcurrent protection by monitoring the voltage
drop across the external MOSFET’s on-resistance.
The MAX5900/MAX5901 include an undervoltage lock-
out (UVLO) function, ON/OFF control input, and a power-
good status output,
PGOOD
(MAX5900) or PGOOD
(MAX5901). A built-in thermal shutdown feature is also
included to protect the external MOSFET in case of over-
heating.
The MAX5900/MAX5901 offer latched or autoretry fault
management and are available with 200mV, 300mV, or
400mV circuit-breaker thresholds. Both the MAX5900 and
MAX5901 are available in small SOT23 and TDFN pack-
ages, and are specified for the extended -40°C to +85°C
temperature range. For specific ordering information see
the
Selector Guide
at the end of the data sheet.

Note 1:
All currents into device pins are positive, all currents out of device pins are negative, and all voltages are referenced to
GND, unless otherwise noted.
Note 2:
All specifications are 100% tested at T
A
= +25°C. Specifications over -40°C to +85°C are guaranteed by characterization.
Note 3:
This is the delay time from a valid on condition until V
GS
begins rising. Valid on conditions are: the device is not in undervolt-
age lockout; ON/OFF is not driven low; and the device is not in thermal shutdown.
Note 4:
This is the delay from a valid low on ON/OFF until V
GS
falls. Pulses on ON/OFF less than t
OFF
are ignored, offering glitch
immunity.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by design, not production tested.

Detailed Description
The MAX5900/MAX5901 are integrated hot-swap con-
troller ICs contained in 6-pin SOT23/TDFN packages.
They allow a board to be safely hot plugged into a live
backplane without causing a glitch on the power-sup-
ply rail. They are well suited for -48V telecom power
systems, allowing a cost-effective, simple, and com-
pact design. The MAX5900/MAX5901 operate from -9V
to -100V to cover the standard telecom voltage range,
and to serve more generalized applications. These
devices require only an external n-channel power MOS-
FET to provide hot-swap control. Figure 1 shows a
functional diagram of the MAX5900/MAX5901.
The MAX5900/MAX5901 control an external n-channel
power MOSFET placed in the negative power-supply
pathway. When power is first applied, the MAX5900/
MAX5901 keep the MOSFET turned off. The MAX5900/
MAX5901 hold the MOSFET off indefinitely if ON/OFF is
held low, if the supply voltage is below the undervolt-
age lockout level, or if the die temperature exceeds
+125°C. If none of these conditions exist for 300ms
(typ), the MAX5900/MAX5901 begin to gradually turn
on the MOSFET. During this turn-on phase, the
MAX5900/MAX5901 slowly enhance the MOSFET,
