DESCRIPTIO
The LT®4256-1/LT4256-2 are high voltage Hot SwapTM
controllers that allow a board to be safely inserted and
removed from a live backplane. An internal driver drives an
external N-channel MOSFET switch to control supply
voltages ranging from 10.8V to 80V.
The LT4256-1/LT4256-2 features an adjustable analog
foldback current limit. If the supply remains in current limit
for more than a programmable time, the N-channel
MOSFET shuts off and the PWRGD output asserts low. The
LT4256-2 automatically restarts after a time-out delay.
The LT4256-1 latches off until the UV pin is cycled low.
The PWRGD output indicates when the output voltage
rises above a programmed level. An external resistor
string from VCC provides programmable undervoltage
protection.
The LT4256 can be used as an upgrade to LT1641 designs.
See Table 1 on page 14 for upgraded specifications.
The LT4256-1 and LT4256-2 are available in an 8-pin SO
package that is pin compatible with the LT1641.
