Description
The HIP1015 and HIP1016 are hot swap power controllers. The HIP1015 is targeted for a +12V bus whereas the HIP1016 is targeted for +5V applications. Each has an undervoltage (UV) monitoring and reporting with a threshold level ~17% lower than the nominal +12V and +5V. The HIP1015 has an integrated charge pump allowing control of up to a +12V bus using an external N-channel MOSFET. The HIP1016 can also be used to control much higher positive or negative voltages in a low side controller configuration. Both the HIP1015 and HIP1016 feature programmable Overcurrent (OC) detection, current limiting regulation with time delay to latch off and soft start.
Applications
- Power Distribution Control
- Hot Plug Components and Circuitry
- High Side Low Voltage (< +15V) Switching
- Low Side High Voltage (> +15V, Negative V) Switch
