LTC4229 - Ideal Diode and Hot Swap Controller

General 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.
