<p>PURPOSE: To provide the hot plug circuit which enables a card to be inserted into a board in hot-plug mode when the card is supplied with power from a power source arranged on one of cards or the board. CONSTITUTION: The hot plug circuit 62 limits a surge current generated at the time of the mutual connection of a 1st circuit means 30 arranged on a 1st card 1 supplied with a 1st supply voltage ground on a 1st supply line 36 by a power supply unit 2 and with a 2nd supply voltage +V on a 2nd supply line 34. A 2nd circuit means 24 on a 2nd card is supplied with power from the power supply unit 2 through a 3rd supply line 74 and a 4th supply line 76. At this time, when the cards are connected to each other through mutual connecting mechanisms 14, 12, and 22, the said surge current is caused by the charging of a decoupling capacitor as capacitance Cd arranged between the 3rd and 4th supply lines on the 2nd card.</p> |
