The ADM1175 is an integrated hot swap controller and current sense amplifier that offers digital current and voltage monitoring via an on-chip， 12-bit analog-to-digital converter （ADC）， communicated through an I2C® interface.
An internal current sense amplifier measures voltage across the sense resistor in the power path via the VCC pin and the SENSE pin.
The ADM1175 limits the current through this resistor by controlling the gate voltage （via the GATE pin） of an external N-channel FET in the power path. The voltage across the sense resistor （and， therefore， the inrush current） is kept below a preset maximum.
The ADM1175 protects the external FET by limiTIng the TIme that the maximum current runs through it. This current limit period is set by the value of the capacitor attached to the TIMER pin. AddiTIonally， the device provides protection from overcurrent events that may occur once the hot swap event is complete. In the case of a short-circuit event， the current in the sense resistor exceeds an overcurrent trip threshold， and the FET is switched off immediately by pulling down the GATE pin
A 12-bit ADC can measure the current seen in the sense resistor， as well as the supply voltage on the VCC pin. An industry-standard I2C interface allows a controller to read current and voltage data from the ADC. Measurements can be initiated by an I2C command or via the convert （CONV） pin. The CONV pin is especially useful for synchronizing reads on multiple ADM1175 devices. Alternatively， the ADC can run continuously， and the user can read the latest conversion data whenever it is required. Up to four unique I2C addresses can be created， depending on how the ADR pin is connected.
The ADM1175 is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP.
