GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADM1070 is a negative voltage hot swap controller that allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live –48 V backplane. The part achieves this by providing robust current limiting, protection against transient and nontransient short circuits and overvoltage and undervoltage conditions. The ADM1070 typically operates from a negative voltage of up to –80 V and can tolerate transient voltages of up to –200 V.
