Abstract:
A hot swap controller circuit includes a comparator and current control circuitry. The comparator is configured to compare voltage across a power transistor controlled by the hot swap controller circuit to a predetermined threshold voltage. The current control circuitry is coupled to the comparator. The current control circuitry is configured to limit current through the power transistor to no higher than a predetermined high current based on the voltage across the transistor being less than the predetermined threshold voltage. The current control circuitry is also configured to limit the current through the transistor to be no higher than a predetermined low current based on the voltage across the transistor being greater than the predetermined threshold voltage. The predetermined high current is greater than the predetermined low current.

Claim (Index 17):
An integrated circuit (IC) comprising:\n a voltage sensing circuit configured to generate a threshold selection signal based on a sensed voltage across an input and an output of a power transistor; and a current control circuit having:\n a selector including a selector output configured to output either one of a first control voltage when the threshold selection signal indicates a first range of the sensed voltage, or a second control voltage when the threshold selection signal indicates a second range of the sensed voltage; and \n an amplifier including a non-inverted input coupled to the selector output, an inverting input configured to receive a current sensed voltage indicating a current of the power transistor, and an amplifier output configured to output a control signal for limiting the current of the power transistor.
