4251/LTC4251-1/LTC4251-2 negative voltage
Hot Swap™ controllers allow a board to be safely inserted
and removed from a live backplane. Output current is con-
trolled 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 conditions.
Programmable undervoltage and overvoltage detectors
disconnect the load whenever the input supply exceeds
the desired operating range. The supply input is shunt
regulated, allowing safe operation with very high supply
voltages. A multifunction timer delays initial start-up and
controls the circuit breakers response time.
The LTC4251 UV/OV thresholds are designed to match the
standard telecom operating range of –43V to –75V. The
LTC4251-1 UV/OV thresholds extend the operating range
to encompass –36V to –72V. The LTC4251-2 implements
a UV threshold of –43V only.
All parts are available in the 6-Pin SOT-23 package.
