Hot Swap Controllers
Hot swap controllers are used to control the inrush current and isolate faults. As the hot swap board is plugged into the system, the controller detects the power, and gently ramps up the board’s capacitors to avoid sparking at the connectors, system resets, backplane supply glitches, and other associated malfunctions that may be caused by the insertion.
Integrated circuits designed to manage the safe removal and insertion of the module from a live backplane
