LTC4229 Description
The LTC®4229 offers ideal diode and Hot Swap™ functions for a power rail by controlling two external N-channel MOSFETs. The MOSFET acting as an ideal diode replaces a high power Schottky diode and the associated heat sink, saving power and board area. The Hot Swap MOSFET control allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane by limiting inrush current.
