The LTC®4253A-ADJ negative voltage Hot SwapTM con-
troller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
fromalivebackplane.Outputcurrentiscontrolledbythree
stages of current-limiting: a timed circuit breaker, active
current limiting and a fast feedforward path that limits
peak current under worst-case catastrophic fault condi-
tions. The LTC4253A-ADJ latches off after a circuit fault.

Adjustable Undervoltage/Overvoltage Protection
with ±1% Threshold Accuracy
Undervoltage and overvoltage detectors with adjustable
thresholds and hystereses disconnect the load whenever
the input supply exceeds the desired operating range. The
LTC4253A-ADJ’ssupplyinputisshunt-regulated, allowing
safe operation with very high supply voltages. A multifunc-
tion timer delays initial start-up and controls the circuit
breaker’s response time. The circuit breaker’s response

inrush current at start-up.

Three power good outputs can be sequenced to enable
external power modules at start-up or disable them if the
circuit breaker trips. The LTC4253A-ADJ is available in
20-pin SSOP and 20-pin (4mm × 4mm) QFN packages.
