The LTC
?/DIV>
4216 is a positive low voltage Hot Swap
"
controller
that allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from
a live backplane. It controls load voltages ranging from
0V to 6V and isolates a severe fault with instantaneous
analog current limiting.
An internal high side switch driver controls the gate of
an external N-channel MOSFET. An adjustable soft-start
limits the rate of change of the inrush current at start-up
for a large load capacitor. Together with an analog current
limit amplifier, an electronic circuit breaker with adjustable
response time provides dual level overcurrent protection.
No external gate capacitor is required for the analog cur-
rent limit loop compensation.
The FB pin monitors the output supply voltage and signals
the RESET output pin. An ON pin provides on/off control
and a FAULT pin indicates the fault status. The LTC4216
is available in the 10-lead MSOP and 12-lead (4mm ?
3mm) DFN packages.
