What is hot-swap (live-insertion)?
Hot-swap (live-insertion) indicates that the connectors on the motherboard (backplane) are alive with signal and power during hot-swap. The logic drivers populated on the hot-swap card should tolerate the impact from hot-swap without clamping or distorting the signal from the motherboard. Pericom PI74LVTC logic family is suitable for hot-swap. Please refer to the PCI standards “Compact PCI Hot-Swap Specification R1.0”, “PCI Hot-Plug specification R1.0” and Pericom Application Brief 39 for more details.
