LTC4230 Triple Hot Swap Controller with Multifunction Current Control DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®4230 is a 3-channel Hot SwapTM controller that allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. Internal high side switch drivers control the gates of external N-channel MOSFETs for supply voltages ranging from 1.7V to 16.5V. The LTC4230 provides soft-start and inrush current limiting during the programmable start-up period. On-chip current limit comparators provide dual level circuit breaker protection. The slow comparators trip at VCCn – 50mV and activate in 10µs or are programmed by an external filter capacitor. The fast comparators trip at VCCn – 150mV and typically respond in 500ns.
