Hot Swap, System Protection & Management

Home > Power Management > Hot Swap, System Protection & Management

National Semiconductor's complete system protection and management solutions deliver high system reliability. The LM(2)506x family of analog and digital hot swap controllers provide both current and power limiting to dynamically adjust the current limit at large VDS to ensure the MOSFET stays in the Safe Operating Area (SOA) – maximizing long-term system reliability and robustness. These intelligent hot swap devices feature system diagnostic and telemetry reporting which enables the system to take immediate action to control or optimize power delivery. The LM505x family of OR-ing FET controllers allows MOSFETs to replace diode rectifiers in power distribution networks thus reducing both power loss and voltage drops while providing best-in-class reverse current protection.
