Hot-Swap Controller Handles Dual Polarity -  12/11/03 EDN Design Ideas:  Some applications require a hot-swap controller, a circuit-breaker function, or both for dual-polarity, dc-input power-supply rails.  in some hot-swap cases, the requirement is based only on inrush-current considerations.  Control of Design by Dan Meeks, Texas Instruments, Manchester, NH

Hot-swap structure offers improved redundancy -  01/09/03 EDN Design Ideas:  For redundancy purposes, a number of power supplies, using ORing diodes, can work into the same load.  During maintenance, when you can remove any power supply, the minimum possible power perturbation at the load is desirable.  To compensate for the voltage drop across the ORing diodes, you must connect the power-supply feedback lines after the diodes, at the load Design by Samuel Kerem, Corvus Corp, Columbia, MD

How to Design a Simple Circuit Isolated Flyback Converter-LT3573 -  isolated power supplies are needed in a wide variety of applications.  Galvanic isolation is achieved by isolating two or more circuits using a transformer or optocoupler, and is desirable for many reasons: safety, noise immunity, circuit protection, etc.  Traditionally, isolated power supplies use an optocoupler to transfer__ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mike Negrete-Design Engineer-Power Products Mar 15th 2009

Morris

Introducing the LT3070 Point-of-Load Regulator for FPGA & Server Backplanes -  Modern FPGAs and servers operating at low voltages are sensitive to subtle supply drops.  The droop may result from a combination of excess regulator noise, insufficient bandwidth in the supply regulator, excess ESR & ESL in the decoupling components, or distributed inductance in the power distribution.  To abate the risk__ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Kelly Consoer Jan 4th 2011
