The LTC4215 Hot SwapTM 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 allow for monitoring of load current, voltage and fault status.
The LTC4215 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 detects a current limit fault.
The controller LTC4215 has additional features to interrupt the host when a fault has occurred, 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.
