LTC4253/LTC4253A
– 48V Hot Swap Controllers
with Sequencer
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
4253/LTC4253A negative voltage Hot Swap
TM
controllers allow 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. The
LTC4253/LTC4253A latch off after a circuit fault.
Adjustable undervoltage and overvoltage detectors discon-
nect the load whenever the input supply exceeds the desired
operating range. The LTC4253/LTC4253A’s 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 cir-
cuit breaker’s response time can be accelerated by sensing
excessive MOSFET drain voltage, keeping the MOSFET
within its safe operating area (SOA). An adjustable soft-start
circuit controls MOSFET inrush current at start-up.
Three power good outputs are sequenced by an adjustable
timer and two ENABLE inputs to enable external power
modules at start-up or disable them if the circuit breaker
trips. The LTC4253A features tight
±1%
undervoltage/
overvoltage threshold accuracy. The LTC4253/LTC4253A
are available in a 16-pin SSOP.
