The LTC
®
4214 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 LTC4214 controls negative
supplies ranging from near zero to –16V. A multifunction
timer delays initial start-up and controls the circuit breaker’s
response time. This response time is accelerated by
sensing excessive MOSFET drain voltage, keeping the
MOSFET within its safe operating area (SOA). An adjust-
able soft-start circuit controls MOSFET inrush current at
start-up. A power good status output can enable a power
module at start-up or disable it if the circuit breaker trips.
The LTC4214-1 latches off after a circuit breaker fault times
out. The LTC4214-2 provides automatic retry after a fault.
The LTC4214 is available in the 10-pin MSOP package.
