Do I need a hot-swap controller?
I'm building a modular 12 VDC system with individual modules that will step the voltage down to 5 V for powering a microcontroller and a grid of LEDs (4.5 A max per module). These modules can be added or removed from the system at any time. (see the…

Continuous current limiting with hot swap controller
I am using a brushless DC motor which has its own integrated controller (nominal current 4 A at 24 V). To protect the motor, I'm willing to implement some current limiting circuit (e.g. with maximum allowed current 5 A).
The TI LM5069 hot swap…

Compromising between Inrush and turn on time for MOSFET SOA operation
A hostwap controller as the shown here is used to to precharge and control a high side load:
In a hotswap control Q1 will spend some time in the saturation region during start up and turn off to control the inrush and will then move to the triode…

I2C Hot Swap design and feasibility
I would like to hear if someone has successfully implemented a working connectable/disconnectable I2C interface. I'm working with the back plane (host device) and am looking into implementing a I2C buffer/switch to be able to connect and disconnect…

What does Hot Swappable mean?
new to electronics. I am not quite sure I understand hot-swapping fully. It appears that hot-swapping is when you could replace a device while the system is operating without interruptions; however, how would you replace a device that needs to…
