DESCRIPTION

The MP5981 is a monolithic, integrated

controller and switch that contains a high-side

MOSFET and other circuitries that enable it to

work in standalone operation or to be controlled

by a hot-swap controller. The MP5981 drives up

to 50A of continuous current per device at room

temperature. With air flow, the continuous

current can reach 60A.

The MP5981 limits the inrush current to the

load when a circuit card is inserted into a live

backplane power source, thereby limiting the

backplane’s voltage drop. The MP5981 limits

the internal MOSFET current by controlling the

gate voltage through the current limit reference

input and soft-start ramp.

The MP5981 offers many features to simplify

system design. It provides an integrated current

mirror to monitor the output current and on-die

temperature sensing, eliminating the need for

an external current-sense power resistor, power

MOSFET, and thermal sense device.

The MP5981 detects the power FET gate,

source, and drain short conditions. It can also

provide feedback to the hot-swap controller via

the fault reporting output (GOK). The MP5981

can be paralleled for higher current applications.

All devices in parallel actively share current

during soft start.

The MP5981 is available in an LGA-32

(5mmx5mm) package.
