4218 is a 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 supply voltages from 2.9V
to 26.5V. A dedicated 12V version (LTC4218-12) contains
preset 12V specific thresholds, while the standard LTC4218
allows adjustable thresholds.
The LTC4218 provides an accurate (5%) current limit with
current foldback limiting. The current limit threshold can
be adjusted dynamically using an external pin. Additional
features include a current monitor output that amplifies
the sense voltage for ground referenced current sensing.
Overvoltage, undervoltage and powergood monitoring
are also provided.

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
the SOURCE pin. Driving either GATE or SOURCE pin to voltages beyond
