The EV5026-V-00A is an evaluation board designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MP5026, a fully integrated hot-swap protection device. The EV5026-V-00A allows for reference circuit evaluation of the MP5026. The MP5026 is designed to protect circuitry on its output from transients on its input. It also protects its input from undesired shorts and transients coming from its output. The device can achieve up to 20A of continuous output current (I_OUT) per device at room temperature.

The MP5026 limits the inrush current to the load when a circuit card is inserted into a live backplane power source, which limits the power supply voltage drop. The MP5026 also limits the internal MOSFET current (I_FET) by controlling the gate voltage (V_GATE) via a low-power resistor connected between the ISET pin and ground as well as a soft-start (SS) ramp.

The MP5026 offers many features to simplify system design, such as an integrated current mirror that monitors I_OUT and the integrated on-die temperature sense. This eliminates the need for an external current-sense power resistor, power MOSFET, and temperature-sense device.

The MP5026 provides a variety of fault protections, including over-current protection (OCP), short-circuit protection (SCP), over-temperature protection (OTP), damaged MOSFET detection, over-voltage protection (OVP), and under-voltage protection (UVP).

The MP5026 is available in an LGA-26 (4mmx4mm) package. The EV5026-V-00A has 4 layers, which are each 2oz, and the total size is 7.15cmx6.35cm.
