General Description
The MIC2587 and MIC2587R are single-channel positive voltage hot swap controllers designed to provide safe insertion and removal of boards for systems that require live (always-powered) backplanes. These devices use few external components and act as controllers for external N-channel power MOSFET devices to provide inrush current control and output voltage slew rate control. Overcurrent fault protection is provided via programmable analog foldback current limit circuitry equipped with a programmable overcurrent filter.

FEATUREs
• MIC2587: Pin-for-pin functional equivalent to the LT1641
• Operates from +10V to +80V with 100V ABS MAX operation
• Industrial temperature specifications at VCC = +24V and VCC = +48V
• Programmable current limit with analog foldback
• Active current regulation minimizes inrush current
• Electronic circuit breaker for overcurrent fault protection
    - Output latch off (MIC2587) or
    - Output auto-retry (MIC2587R)
• Fast responding circuit breaker (< 2µs) to short circuit loads
• Programmable input undervoltage lockout
• Fault Reporting:
    Open-drain “Power-is-Good” output for enabling DC/DC converter(s)
    - Active-HIGH: MIC2587-1/MIC2587R-1
    - Active-LOW: MIC2587-2/MIC2587R-2
