ABSTRACT:
A hot-pluggable PCI adapter slot isolates the power from the adapter and the expansion slot signals from the system bus. MOSFETs with a gate drive controller are used to isolate power, and high speed FET switches isolate the signals. The wiring required to connect the bus to the bus switches and then to the adapter card is minimized by optimizing package size, pin count and trace lengths required for connection. The FET switches are embedded in the expansion PCI connector in series with the signal pins to the system PCB and the edge that connects the network to the finger on the adapter card.
