LTC4236
Dual Ideal Diode-OR and
Single Hot Swap Controller
with Current Monitor
DescripTion
The
LTC
®
4236
offers ideal diode-OR and Hot Swap func-
tions for two power rails by controlling external N-channel
MOSFETs. MOSFETs acting as ideal diodes replace two
high power Schottky diodes and the associated heat sinks,
saving power and board area. A Hot Swap control MOSFET
allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a
live backplane by limiting inrush current. The supply output
is also protected against short-circuit faults with a fast
acting foldback current limit and electronic circuit breaker.
The LTC4236 regulates the forward voltage drop across
the ideal diode MOSFETs to ensure smooth current transfer
from one supply to the other without oscillation. The ideal
diode MOSFETs turn on quickly to reduce the load voltage
droop during supply switchover. If the input supply fails
or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse current
transients.
A current sense amplifier translates the voltage across the
sense resistor to a ground referenced signal. The LTC4236
provides adjustable start-up delay, turn-on/-off control,
and reports fault and power good status for the supply.

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:
An internal clamp limits the DGATE1 and CPO1 pins to a minimum
of 10V above and a diode below IN1. Driving these pins to voltages beyond
the clamp may damage the device.
Note 4:
An internal clamp limits the DGATE2 and CPO2 pins to a minimum
of 10V above and a diode below D2SRC. Driving these pins to voltages
beyond the clamp may damage the device.
Note 5:
An internal clamp limits the HGATE pin to a minimum of 10V
above and a diode below OUT. Driving this pin to voltages beyond the
clamp may damage the device.
Note 6:
Thermal resistance is specified when the exposed pad is soldered
to a 3" x 5" , four layer, FR4 board.
