It controls an external N-channel MOSFET to ramp the load voltage smoothly, preventing glitches on the supply rail and connector arcing. The 9V to 72V supply range covers 12V, 24V, and 48V industrial and telecom rails — one part works across a whole rack without swapping regulators. The controller itself draws 1 mA supply current, which is low enough that it doesn't eat into the thermal budget in a sealed enclosure. It comes in a SOT-23-6 package, so it fits on small add-in cards or mezzanine boards where board area is tight. ## Protection features — what happens when something goes wrong Three built-in protection mechanisms handle fault conditions. Auto retry means the controller will attempt to restart after a fault clears — useful for transient overloads in motor drives or capacitive loads. Fault timeout sets a window for the inrush event; if the output hasn't reached the input voltage within that window, the controller shuts off. Thermal limit protects the external MOSFET by shutting down if the die temperature exceeds the safe threshold. The programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) lets you set the turn-on threshold with an external resistor divider. This is the main adjustment point for matching the controller to your supply rail's brownout spec — set it high enough that the MOSFET doesn't try to turn on during a sag. ## External MOSFET — the sourcing decision you need to make This controller has no internal switch — you supply the N-channel pass FET. That means the BOM includes an extra line item, and the MOSFET's Rds(on) and gate charge directly affect the power dissipation and switching speed. For a 48V rail at a few amps, a logic-level FET with 10-20 mΩ Rds(on) is typical. The SOT-23-6 package leaves room for a small SOT-23 or SOT-223 FET on the same board edge. ## Temperature grade and environment Rated for -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, this part covers most industrial control cabinets, outdoor telecom enclosures, and factory-floor equipment. It does not carry AEC-Q100 qualification, so it is not the first pick for under-hood automotive — but it works fine in cabin or infotainment systems that stay within the temperature range.","metaTitle":"MAX5903ACEUT+T Hot Swap Controller, 9V-72V, SOT-23-6","metaDescription":"MAX5903ACEUT+T Simple Swapper™ hot swap controller from Analog Devices. 9V to 72V supply, SOT-23-6, programmable UVLO, auto retry.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Simple Swapper™","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["DC-DC Power Modules"],"specifications":{"Type":"Hot Swap Controller","Series":"Simple Swapper™","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Auto Retry, Fault Timeout, Thermal Limit","Applications":"General Purpose","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"SOT-23-6","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Current - Supply":"1 mA","Voltage - Supply":"9V ~ 72V","Internal Switch(s)":"No","Number of Channels":"1","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C","Programmable Features":"UVLO","Supplier Device Package":"SOT-6"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$6.24","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$6.24000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$5.60100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$5.29480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$4.58890","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$4.35360","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.90648","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$3.29462","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$3.12989","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/713d1ef949327f85a7d09d2ebea02c0f.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does MAX5903ACEUT+T have programmable UVLO?","answer":"Yes, the undervoltage lockout threshold is programmable via an external resistor divider, allowing you to set the turn-on voltage to match your supply rail's brownout specification."},{"question":"Does MAX5903ACEUT+T require external MOSFETs?","answer":"Yes, this controller has no internal switch — you must add an external N-channel MOSFET as the pass element.
