DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
4251B/LTC4251B-1/LTC4251B-2 negative voltage
Hot Swap™ controllers allow a board to be safely inserted
and removed from a live backplane. Output current is con-
trolled 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.
Programmable undervoltage and overvoltage detectors
disconnect the load whenever the input supply exceeds
the desired operating range. The 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 LTC4251B UV/OV thresholds are designed to match
the standard telecom operating range of – 43V to –75V. The
LTC4251B-1 UV/OV thresholds extend the operating range
to encompass –36V to –72V. The LTC4251B-2 implements
a UV threshold of –43V only. The LTC4251B improves the
ruggedness of the LTC4251 shunt regulator.

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 V
EE
unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
UV/OV = 4V refers to UV = 4V for the LTC4251B-2.
