THVD1510: Hot Swap Application

Part Number: THVD1510


Hello,

I have a question about Hot Swap Application in THVD1510.

I did not find Hot Swap explanation in THVD1510 datasheet.

May I ask can THVD1510 be used in Hot Swap application?

If we can, what is the point we need to be careful in Hot Swap application?

Thank you.

  • Hello,

    Yes, since this device has high impedance interface pins when unpowered and is glitch free at power on it is a good fit for hot plug applications. Something to watch out for would be voltage overshoots that might occur at the connector pins when plugging or unplugging a cable. If these overshoots occur and are at a high level (exceeding the rating of the transceiver) then you may wish to further protect the device by installing a TVS diode to clamp the voltage or a series resistance to limit any surge currents.

    Regards,
