GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This Evaluation Kit allows the ADM1070 negative voltage Hot Swap Controller to be easily evaluated. The ADM1070 provides undervoltage and overvoltage protection by monitoring the supply voltage and provides robust current limiting by monitoring the load current. The device uses a FET in the power path to control the load current. The complete data sheet for the ADM1070 is available from Analog Devices and should be consulted in conjunction with this document.
