TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
Hot Swap Controller with
I
2
C Compatible Monitoring
The LTC
®
4215/LTC4215-2 Hot Swap™ controllers allow
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 I
2
C interface and onboard ADC allow
for monitoring of load current, voltage and fault status.
The device features adjustable foldback current limit and
a soft-start pin that sets the dI/dt of the inrush current.
An I
2
C interface may confi gure the part to latch off or
automatically restart after the LTC4215 detects a current
limit fault.
The controller 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 I
2
C command
to turn on.
The LTC4215 has a 20µs circuit breaker fi lter for applica-
tions that require a fast fault response time and it defaults
to latchoff after an overcurrent fault. The LTC4215-2 has
an extended 420µs circuit breaker fi lter for applications
where supply transients may exceed 20µs and it defaults
to restart automatically after an overcurrent fault.
