FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®4241 is a Hot Swap controller that allows a board
to be safely inserted and removed from a live PCI-bus slot.
It has a primary controller that controls the four PCI
suppliesandanindependentauxiliarycontrollertocontrol
the 3.3V auxiliary supply. External N-channel transistors

The3.3V, 5Vand3.3Vauxiliarysuppliescanberampedup
at an adjustable rate. Electronic circuit breakers protect all
five supplies against overcurrent faults. The foldback
current limit feature reduces current spikes and power
dissipation when shorts occur. The PWRGD output of the
primary controller indicates when all four PCI supplies are
withintolerance.TheFAULToutputindicatesanovercurrent
condition for any of the five supplies.
