Summit Microelectronics has a distributed power hot-swap controller for use in communications equipment add-in line cards.
Hot-swap controller protects distributed power
The SMH4802 is a fully integrated programmable hot swap controller for -48V power supplies.
Using Summit's PPM ICs, system designers can digitally program the entire multiple output power supply and associated power management functions with a few clicks of a mouse compared to the tedious iterative hardware design of conventional analogue power solutions.
Incorporating a level of programmability, integration and precision previously missing in power management offerings, the SMB111 and SMB112 integrate precise power delivery and power control in a single device.
In addition to simplifying the power supply design, Summit's configurable technology creates a "power system platform" that allows a significant degree of hardware re-use.
