The LTC4215-1 Hot Swap™ controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. Using an external N-channel pass transistor, board supply voltage and inrush current are ramped up at an adjustable rate. An I2C interface and onboard ADC of LTC4215-1 allow for monitoring of load current, voltage and fault status.
The LTC4215-1 features adjustable foldback current limit and a soft-start pin that sets the dI/dt of the inrush current. An I2C interface may confi gure the part to latch off or automatically restart after the LTC4215-1 detects a current limit fault.
The controller LTC4215-1 has additional features to interrupt the host when a fault has occurred, provide three general purpose outputs, notify when output power is good, detect insertion of a load card, and power-up either automatically upon insertion or wait for an I2C command to turn on.
