MONOLITHIC POWER SYSTEMS (MPS) EV5026-V-00A

EV5026-V-00A is an evaluation board designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MP5026, fully integrated hot-swap protection device. The EV5026-V-00A allows for reference circuit evaluation of the MP5026. The MP5026 is designed to protect circuitry on its output from transients on its input. It also protects its input from undesired shorts and transients coming from its output. The device can achieve up to 20A of continuous output current per device at room temperature. The MP5026 limits the inrush current to the load when a circuit card is inserted into a live backplane power source, which limits the power supply voltage drop. The MP5026 also limits the internal MOSFET current (IFET) by controlling the gate voltage (VGATE) via low power resistor connected between the ISET pin and ground as well as soft-start (SS) ramp. The MP5026 offers many features to simplify system design, such as an integrated current mirror that monitors IOUT and the integrated on die temperature sense.
