DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LT®4256-1/LT4256-2 are high voltage Hot SwapTM
controllers that allow a board to be safely inserted and
removedfromalivebackplane.Aninternaldriverdrivesan
external N-channel MOSFET switch to control supply
voltages ranging from 10.8V to 80V.
■
Allows Safe Board Insertion and Removal from a
Live Backplane
■
Controls Supply Voltage from 10.8V to 80V
■
Foldback Current Limiting
Overcurrent Fault Detection

■
Drives an External N-Channel MOSFET
The LT4256-1/LT4256-2 features an adjustable analog
foldbackcurrentlimit.Ifthesupplyremainsincurrentlimit

The PWRGD output indicates when the output voltage
rises above a programmed level. An external resistor
string from VCC provides programmable undervoltage
protection.
