Description
The LTC^®4253B negative voltage Hot Swap™ controller
allows 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 cur-
rent under worst-case catastrophic fault conditions. The
LTC4253B latches off after a circuit fault.
Adjustable undervoltage and overvoltage detectors dis-
connect the load whenever the input supply exceeds the
desired operating range. The LTC4253B’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 LTC4253B improves the ruggedness of the
LTC4253 shunt regulator.
