Design considerations
- When a board is plugged into a live system, it is important the in-rush current is carefully controlled to protect the components on the board and ensure other parts of the system do not experience any power disruption.
- MOSFETs with a strong linear mode performance and enhanced safe operating area (SOA) are required to manage this current effectively and reliably
- Once the replacement board is safely installed, the MOSFET is turned fully ON. In this mode of operation, a low RDS(on) value is of primary importance, helping to keep temperatures down and system efficiency at a maximum

Nexperia in action
A full evaluation kit of Analog Devices latest LTC4286 High Power Positive Hot-Swap Controller uses Nexperia's 100 V, 2.3 mOhm PSMN2R3-100SSE ASFET with enhanced SOA in LFPAK88 in the hot-swap power path.
The importance of SOA - Quick Learning
When a MOSFET is selected for a high power designs, engineers often select a device based on its on-resistance. Lower on-resistance results in MOSFETs with lower power loss, which in turn indicates less heating and safer operation for the device.
