As the call for small-form-factor size and high power density grows louder, engineers should consider switching from discrete components to more integrated solutions that provide ...

2. The STPM801 from STMicroelectronics is an integrated hot-swap and ideal-diode controller classified for functional-safety applications, which also includes soft-start and ORing protections.

An internal soft-start circuit controls inrush current from high capacitive loads, and an external capacitor can adjust the slew rate.

The STMicroelectronics STPM801 is the market's first automotive-qualified integrated hot-swap and ideal-diode controller featured for functional-safety applications.

The ideal diode controllers have all the features necessary to implement an efficient and fast reverse polarity protection circuit.
