FeaTures DescripTion
Hot Swappable
Load Share Controller
The LTC
®
4350 is a load share controller that allows sys-
tems to equally load multiple power supplies connected
in parallel. The output voltage of each supply is adjusted
using the SENSE
+
input until all currents match the share
bus. The LTC4350 also isolates supply failures by turning
off the series pass transistors and identifying the failed
supply. The failed supply can then be removed and replaced
with a new unit without turning off the system power. The
LTC4350 is available in a 16-pin narrow SSOP package.
