DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4253/LTC4253A negative voltage Hot Swap™
controllers allow a board to be safely inserted and removed
from a live backplane. Output current is controlled by three
stages of current-limiting: a timed circuit breaker, active
current limiting and a fast feedforward path that limits
peak current under worst-case catastrophic fault condi-
tions. The LTC4253/LTC4253A latch off after a circuit fault.
Adjustable undervoltage and overvoltage detectors dis-
connect the load whenever the input supply exceeds the
desired operating range. The LTC4253/LTC4253A’s supply
input is shunt-regulated, allowing safe operation with very
high supply voltages. A multifunction timer delays initial
start-up and controls the circuit breaker’s response time.
The circuit breaker’s response time can be accelerated
by sensing excessive MOSFET drain voltage, keeping the
MOSFET within its safe operating area (SOA). An adjustable
soft-start circuit controls MOSFET inrush current at start-up.
Three power good outputs are sequenced by an adjustable
timer and two ENABLE inputs to enable external power
modules at start-up or disable them if the circuit breaker
trips. The LTC4253A features tight ±1% undervoltage/
overvoltage threshold accuracy. The LTC4253/LTC4253A
are available in a 16-pin SSOP.
