FeaTures DescripTion
Dual Ideal Diode and
Single Hot Swap Controller
The LT C
®
4227 offers ideal diode-OR and Hot Swap™
functions for two power rails by controlling external N-
channel MOSFETs. MOSFETs acting as ideal diodes replace
two high power Schottky diodes and the associated heat
sinks, saving power and board area. A Hot Swap control
MOSFET allows a board 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 LTC4227 regulates the forward voltage drop across
the 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 switchover. If the input supply fails or is shorted,
a fast turn-off minimizes reverse-current transients.
The LTC4227 allows turn-on/off control, and reports fault
and power good status for the supply.
