DescripTion
The
LTC
®
4252
negative voltage Hot Swap
TM
controller
allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a
live backplane. Output current is controlled by three stages
of current limiting: a timed circuit breaker, active current
limiting and a fast feedforward path that limits peak current
under worst-case catastrophic fault conditions.
Adjustable undervoltage and overvoltage detectors dis-
connect the load whenever the input supply exceeds the
desired operating range. The LTC4252’s supply input is
shunt regulated, allowing safe operation with very high
supply voltages. A multifunction timer delays initial start-
up and controls the circuit breaker’s response time. The
circuit breaker’s response time is accelerated by sensing
excessive MOSFET drain voltage, keeping the MOSFET
within its safe operating area (SOA). An adjustable soft-
start circuit controls MOSFET inrush current at start-up.
The LTC4252-1/LTC4252A-1 latch off after a circuit breaker
fault times out. The LTC4252-2/LTC4252A-2 provide au-
tomatic retry after a fault. The LTC4252A-1/LTC4252A-2
feature tight ±1% undervoltage/overvoltage threshold
accuracy. The LTC4252 is available in either an 8-pin
or 10-pin MSOP while the LTC4252A is available in the
,
10-pin MSOP
.
