Current-Regulating Hot-Swap Controller with
DualSpeed/BiLevel Fault Protection
General Description
The MAX4370 is a circuit-breaker IC designed to offer
protection in hot-swap applications using Maxim’s
DualSpeed/BiLevel™ detection. This controller,
designed to reside either on the backplane or on the
removable card, is used to protect a system from start-
up damage when a card or board is inserted into a rack
with the main system power supply turned on. The
card’s discharged filter capacitors provide a low
impedance that can momentarily cause the main power
supply to collapse. The MAX4370 prevents this start-up
condition by providing inrush current regulation during
a programmable start-up period, allowing the system to
stabilize safely. In addition, two on-chip comparators
provide DualSpeed/BiLevel short-circuit protection and
overcurrent protection during normal operation.
The MAX4370 provides protection for a +3V to +12V
single supply. An internal charge pump generates the
controlled gate drive for an external N-channel MOS -
FET power switch. The MAX4370 latches the switch off
after a fault condition until an external reset signal
clears the device. Other features include a status pin to
indicate a fault condition, an adjustable overcurrent
response time, and a power-on reset comparator.
The MAX4370 is specified for the extended-industrial
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and is available in
an 8-pin SO package.

Note 1:
ON can be pulled below ground. Limiting the current to 2mA ensures that this pin is never lower than about -0.8V.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress rating s only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specificatio ns is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2:
All devices are 100% tested at T
A
= +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 3:
The start-up period (t
START
) is the time during which the slow comparator is ignored and the device acts as a current limiter
by regulating the sense current with the fast comparator. It is measured from ON rising above 0.6V to STAT rising.
Note 4:
The current available at GATE is a function of V
GATE
(see Typical
Operating Characteristics.)
