Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) MP5025A Hot-Swap Protection Devices are designed to protect circuitry on its output from transients on its input. These devices also protect the input from undesired shorts and transients coming from the output. The MP5025A devices feature adjustable current limit, damaged MOSFET detection, external soft start, under/over voltage lockout, output current measurement, and thermal protection. These devices operate at 8V to 16V input voltage range, -40°C to 125°C temperature range, -65°C to 155°C storage temperature range, and 145°C shutdown temperature. Typical applications include hot-swap, PC cards, disk drives, servers, networking, and laptops.
