JAJSF18A December 2017 – January 2019 TPS23523
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS23523 is a hot swap controller for –48-V applications and is used to manage inrush current and protect downstream circuitry and the upstream bus in case of fault conditions. The following key scenarios should be considered when designing a –48-V hot swap circuit:
These scenarios place a lot of stress on the hot swap MOSFET and the board designer should take special care to ensure that the MOSFET stays within it's Safe Operating Area (SOA) under all of these conditions. A detailed design example is provided below and the key equations are written out. Note that solving all of these equations by hand is cumbersome and can result in errors. Instead, TI recommends using the TPS2352X Design Calculator provided on the product page.
