Xicor Inc. (Milpitas, CA) introduced the X80010, X80011, X80012 and X80013 smart power management products, which integrate power supply sequencing, system management and hot-swap functions to provide a complete solution that addresses power distribution from a -48V backplane.
The hot-swap features of the X80010 family allow for insertion and extraction of line cards, network interface cards and other peripherals while -48V power is present on the backplane. Power supply sequencing allows for systematic on/off control of dc/dc converters on line cards or other devices. System management provides a monitor for the CPU host components to inform the system of power status. The X80010, X80011, X80012 and X80013 can sequence and control up to five independent dc/dc converters.
Production parts are available for the X80010, X80011, X80012 and X80013 in 32-lead QFN packaging with prices starting at $3.25.
