ADM1177-2ARMZ-R7 Datasheet PDF - ADI

●The ADM1177-2ARMZ-R7 is a Hot Swap Controller and Digital Power Monitor with soft start pin. It offers digital current and voltage monitoring via an on-chip, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), communicated through an I²C® interface. An internal current sense amplifier measures voltage across the sense resistor in the power path via the VCC pin and the SENSE pin. It limits the current through this resistor by controlling the gate voltage (via the GATE pin) of an external N-channel FET in the power path. The voltage across the sense resistor (and, therefore, the inrush current) is kept below a preset maximum. It protects the external FET by limiting the time that the maximum current runs through it. This current limit period is set by the value of the capacitor attached to the TIMER pin. Additionally, the device provides protection from overcurrent events that may occur once the hot swap event is complete.
