DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
4210-3/LTC4210-4
is a 6-pin SOT-23 Hot Swap
controller that allows a board to be safely inserted and
removed from a live backplane. An internal high side
switch driver controls the GATE of an external N-channel
MOSFET for a supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 7V.
The LTC4210 provides the initial timing cycle and allows
the GATE to be ramped up at an adjustable rate.
The LTC4210 features a fast current limit loop providing
active current limiting together with a circuit breaker timer.
The signal at the ON pin turns the part on and off and is
also used for the reset function.
The LTC4210-3 autoretries on overcurrent fault and the
LTC4210-4 latches off on an overcurrent fault.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
An internal Zener clamped the GATE pin to a typical voltage of 12V.
External overdrive of the GATE pin beyond the internal Zener voltage may
damage the device. Without a limiting resistor, the GATE capacitance must
be <0.15µF at maximum V
