GENERAL DESCRIPTION This Evaluation Kit allows the ADM1070 negative voltage Hot Swap Controller to be easily evaluated. The ADM1070 provides undervoltage and overvoltage protection by monitoring the supply voltage and provides robust current limiting by monitoring the load current. The device uses a FET in the power path to control the load current. The complete data sheet for the ADM1070 is available from Analog Devices and should be consulted in conjunction with this document. FEATURES Full Evaluation Kit for the ADM1070 Hot Swap Controller Kit Contains Two Boards Main Evaluation Board for Bench Evaluation Micro Evaluation Board to Drop into User’s System Both Boards Feature On-Board FET to Control Load Current Programmable Operating Voltage Range (R1/R2 Ratio) Programmable Current Limit Levels (Value of RSENSE) Choice of Default or Custom Timing Values Main Evaluation Board Features Edge Connectors Allow for Simulation of Real Hot Swap Events with ADM1070 Residing on Plug-In Module or Backplane External Signals Can Be Switched in through SMB Connectors to Override VIN, SENSE, and UV/OV Signals Microboard Features Drops onto a User’s System, Replacing the Current Hot Swap Device
