Hot-Swap Technology for Backplane

Overview: TCA and uTCA are getting popular in today's infrastructure systems. We see an increasing number of designs with bus supporting multiple daughter cards. The first Hot-swap control chip was introduced to reduce the inrush current when plugging a card into the backplane. Now, the hot-swap technology is far more mature. In this seminar, we will discuss how the control scheme affects hot-swap reliability, stability and overall cost. Also, weˇŻll show you some test waveforms to demonstrate how an intelligent current-power limit combined technology helps with hot-swap interface design.
