safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. Using
an external N-channel pass transistor, the board supply
voltage can be ramped up at an adjustable rate. An I
2
C
interface and onboard ADC allow monitoring of board
current, voltage and fault status.
The device features adjustable analog foldback current
limit with latch off or automatic restart after the LTC4260
remains in current limit beyond an adjustable time-out
delay.
The controller has additional features to interrupt the host
when a fault has occurred, notify when output power is
good, detect insertion of a load card and power-up in
either the on or off state.

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 GND unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
Limits on maximum rating is defined as whichever limit occurs first.
An internal clamp limits the GATE pin to a minimum of 10V above source.
Driving this pin to voltages beyond the clamp may damage the device.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by design and not subject to test.
Note 5:
Integral nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of a code from a
precise analog input voltage. Maximum specifications are limited by the
LSB step size and the single shot measurement. Typical specifications are
measured from the 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 areas of the quantization band.
Note 6:
For the V
DD
-SENSE channel, full-scale is at code 255 but codes
above 200 may be discarded by offset cancellation. Full scale error and
total unadjusted error are evaluated over the 0-200 code range. Full scale
voltage corresponds to the theoretical code 255, and is extrapolated from
