DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
Allows Safe Insertion into Live CompactPCITM or
The LTC®4245 Hot SwapTM controller allows a board to
be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane in
multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and PCI
Express. Using four external N-channel pass transistors,
the board supply voltages can be ramped up at an adjust-
ablerateandinanydesiredsequence. AnI Cinterfaceand
onboard ADC allow monitoring of board current, voltage
and fault status for each supply.

Dual-Level Circuit Breaker and Current Limit
The device features adjustable dI/dt controlled soft start
and foldback limited inrush current. A dual-level timed
circuit breaker and fast current limit protect each supply
againstovercurrentfaults.Apowergoodinputwithtimeout
allows a downstream supply monitor to disconnect the
board supplies. The device can be configured to function
withouta–12Vsupplyorwithanextra3.3Vsupplyinstead
of a 5V supply.

APPLICATIO S
The controller has additional features to interrupt the host
when a fault has occurred, notify when output power is
good, detect insertion of a load card and power-up in
either the on or off state.
