INTRODUCTION
The SMH4814 is an integrated power controller
designed to control the hot-swapping of plug-in cards
in a distributed power environment. The SMH4814
drives external power MOSFET switches that connect
the supply to the load while reducing in-rush current
and providing over-current protection. When the
source and drain voltages of the external MOSFETs
are within specification the SMH4814 asserts the four
PUP logic outputs in a programmable cascade
sequence to enable the DC/DC converters.
The SMH4814 also monitors two independent –48V
feeds. The redundant power supplies allow for high
availability and reliability. The traditional method of
supplying power from these feeds is via ORing power
diodes, which consume a significant amount of power.
The SMH4814 allows low-RDS
ON
FETs to be used in
place of ORing diodes to reduce power consumption.
The SMH4814 determines when at least one of the
–48V feeds is within an acceptable voltage range and
switches on the appropriate FET path while providing
slew rate control. The SMH4814 continuously monitors
the incoming feeds and switches to the most negative
feed as necessary. The SMH4814 is programmed and
controlled using the I

C bus as required in ATCA
