Dual Ideal Diode and
Hot Swap Controller
The LTC
®
4225 offers ideal diode and Hot Swap™ functions
for two power rails by controlling external series connected
N-channel MOSFETs. MOSFETs acting as ideal diodes
replace two high power Schottky diodes and the associ-
ated heat sinks, saving power and board area. Hot Swap
control MOSFETs allow boards to be safely inserted and
removed from a live backplane by limiting inrush current.
The supply output is also protected against short-circuit
faults with a fast acting current limit and internal timed
circuit breaker.
The LTC4225 regulates the forward voltage drop across
the back-to-back MOSFETs to ensure smooth current
transfer from one supply to the other without oscillation.
The ideal diodes turn on quickly to reduce the load voltage
droop during supply switch-over. If the input supply fails
or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse-current
transients.
The LTC4225 allows independent on/off control, and reports
fault and power good status for the supply. The LTC4225-1
features a latch-off circuit breaker, while the LTC4225-2
provides automatic retry after a fault.
