LTC4286
High Power Positive Hot-Swap Controller with Power Monitor via PMBus
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
► Wide operating voltage range: 8.5 V to 80 V
► Monitors currents, voltages, and power with ADC
► Adjustable, 5% accurate current limit: 6 mV to 20 mV
► Current foldback limits MOSFET power dissipation for overstress
protection
The LTC4286 is an integrated solution for hot-swap applications
allowing a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live
backplane. The circuit breaker timer protects against metal-oxide
semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) overheating, ena-
bling reliable protection against overstress.
The SMBus 3.1 interface, PMBus command structure, and on-
board analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with selectable averaging
and speed allow monitoring of board current, voltage, power, tem-
perature, and fault status.
► Monitors VGS and VDS for MOSFET health
► Peak detect registers for current, voltage, and power
► Reports input or output power
► Remote temperature sensing with programmable warning and
shutdown thresholds
The LTC4286 has additional features to respond to input undervolt-
age (UV) and overvoltage (OV): interrupts the host when a fault
occurs, notifies when output power is good, detects insertion of a
board, and auto-reboot after a programmable delay following a host
commanded turn off.
► ±1% accurate, 12-bit ADC for IOUT, VIN, and VOUT
► Available in 39-lead, 7 mm x 7 mm, QFN package
APPLICATIONS
► High availability server backplane systems
► 12 V/24 V/48 V/54 V Distributed power systems
► Industrial
