Well, I finally resolved my issue with the hot swap controller by using a opto isolator. The big issue was the difference between the board digital ground that was isolated from the 48V ground, as there was a few volts difference between them. I used a PS2501 to test this, and it works, but the package is a little big. So I am looking for a recomendation of a very small opto, working voltage is only up to 70VDC, no high voltage isolation is really required, but price of course is a consideration. Maybe I am stuck with this package, but seems to me Sharp had some small packages, so I'll look while waiting on a response. _________________________________________________________________ Store more e-mails with MSN Hotmail Extra Storage 4 plans to choose from! http://click.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200362ave/direct/01/ -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
