TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Negative Voltage
Hot Swap Controllers
The LT C
®
4252 negative voltage Hot Swap
TM
controller
allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a
live backplane. Output current is controlled 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.
Adjustable undervoltage and overvoltage detectors dis-
connect
the load whenever the input supply exceeds the
desired operating range. The LTC4252’s supply input is
shunt regulated, allowing safe operation with very high
supply voltages. A multifunction timer delays initial start-
up and controls the circuit breaker’s response time. The
circuit breaker’s response time is accelerated by sensing
excessive MOSFET drain voltage, keeping the MOSFET
within its safe operating area (SOA). An
adjustable soft-
start circuit controls MOSFET inrush current at start-up.
The LTC4252-2 provides automatic retry after a fault. The
LTC4252C-1/LTC4252C-2 feature tight ±1% undervoltage/
overvoltage threshold accuracy. The LTC4252 is available
in either an 8-pin or 10-pin MSOP.
The LTC4252B and LTC4252C improve the ruggedness
of the shunt regulator in the LTC4252 and LTC4252A.
