LTC4249
65V Dual Electronic Circuit
Breaker with Current Monitors
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4249 dual electronic circuit breaker (ECB) pro-
vides independent overcurrent protection to a pair of
loads. Each channel has a precision enable input, current
monitor output and ready status output. A single resistor
configures the ECB threshold. If either channel detects an
overcurrent condition, the corresponding breaker discon-
nects the input from the load.

Short-Circuit Protection
After a circuit breaker event, the open-drain RDY status
output pulls low and the ECB latches off. Toggling the
enable input turns the ECB back on after a 1 second cool-
off period. An infinite retry option(–2) is also available.
The cool-off timer, overtemperature sensor, short-circuit
detector and inrush controller prevent operation outside
the safe operating area of the circuit breakers.

APPLICATIONS
n
5G mMIMO PA Array Protection
Precision enable inputs, ready outputs and analog current
monitor outputs permit voltage sequencing and closed
loop bias current control applications. ECB channels may
be paralleled as needed. Load isolation and reverse cur-
rent detection applications are also possible.
