applications that allows a board to be safely inserted and
removed from a live backplane. The part integrates a Hot
Swap controller, power MOSFET and current sense resistor
in a single package for small form factor applications. A
dedicated 12V version (LTC4217-12) contains preset 12V
specific thresholds, while the standard LTC4217 allows
adjustable thresholds.
The LTC4217 provides separate inrush current control
and a 5% accurate 2A current limit with foldback cur-
rent limiting. The current limit threshold can be adjusted
dynamically using an external pin. Additional features
include a current monitor output that amplifies the sense
resistor voltage for ground referenced current sensing
and a MOSFET temperature monitor output. Thermal limit,
overvoltage, undervoltage and power good monitoring
are also provided.

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 pins are positive, all voltages are referenced to
GND unless otherwise specified.
Note 3:
An internal clamp limits the GATE pin to a maximum of 6.5V
above OUT. Driving this pin to voltages beyond the clamp may damage the
device.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 5:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature, T
A
, and power
dissipation, P
D
, according to the formula:
LTC4217DHC, LTC4217DHC-12: T
J
= T
A

• 43°C/W)
LTC4217FE: T
