LTC4223-1/LTC4223-2
Dual Supply Hot Swap
Controller for Advanced
Mezzanine Card
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4223 positive voltage Hot SwapTM controller
allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from
a live AMC or MicroTCA backplane. It controls the main
12V supply with an external N-channel MOSFET and the
3.3V auxiliary supply with an integrated switch. The 12V
output ramp rate is adjustable and includes inrush current
limiting. The 12V output is also protected against short
circuit faults with a fast acting current limit and a 5%
accurate timed circuit breaker. The 3.3V output includes
both soft start and overcurrent protection.

The LTC4223 features a current monitor output for the
12V supply, and reports fault and power-good status for
both supplies. It also detects card presence and allows
independent control of the 12V and auxiliary 3.3V sup-
ply outputs. The LTC4223-1 features a latch-off circuit
breaker, while the LTC4223-2 provides automatic retry
after a fault.
