LT4256-3
Positive High Voltage
Hot Swap Controller
with Open-Circuit Detect
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®4256-3 is a high voltage Hot SwapTM controller that
allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a
live backplane. An internal driver controls the high side
N-channel MOSFET gate for supply voltages ranging from
10.8V to 80V. The part features an open-circuit detect
(OPEN) output that indicates abnormally low load current
conditions.
The LT4256-3 also 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, the PWRGD output asserts low and the LT4256-3
either automatically restarts after a time-out delay or
latches off until the UV pin is cycled low (depending on the
status of the RETRY pin).
The PWRGD output indicates when the output voltage
rises above a programmed level. An external resistor
string from VCC provides programmable undervoltage and
overvoltage protection.
The LT4256-3 is available in a 16-lead SSOP package.
