Hot-Swap Controllers

View All Parametrics

Robust and Optimal Hot-Swap Solutions

Hot-swappable power management controllers play a crucial role in safeguarding the integrity of your system's electronic loads during hot-swappable operations. These controllers are designed to manage the insertion and removal of components without shutting down the entire system, which enables continuous operation and minimizes downtime.

Our robust hot-swap controllers are equipped with a range of protection features that include overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown. These features prevent damage to both the system and the components being swapped, enhancing the overall reliability and longevity of your electronic systems.

Additionally, our controllers provide smooth turn-on functionality during hot plug-ins. As a result, when a new component is inserted, the controller gradually ramps up the power to prevent sudden inrush currents that could potentially harm the system. This smooth power-up process enables safe operation and reduces the risk of electrical stress on the components. Overall, our hot-swappable controllers provide seamless and safe component integration, optimizing system performance and extending the lifespan of your electronic infrastructure.
