The LTC4210-2IS6#TR is a cutting-edge hot swap controller from Linear Technology designed to allow safe board insertion and removal from a live backplane. This compact, integrated circuit provides a controlled turn-on and is housed in a space-saving SOT-23 package, making it an ideal choice for dense systems where board space is at a premium.

Key Features

• Overcurrent Protection: The LTC4210-2IS6#TR offers precise overcurrent protection with a fast response time, ensuring that the power supply and backplane are safeguarded against short circuits and excessive current draw.
• High Side Drive: This hot swap controller operates with a high side drive for a positive supply, which is compatible with a wide range of systems and simplifies the design process.
• Adjustable Current Limit: Users can set the current limit threshold via an external resistor, providing flexibility to accommodate various application requirements.
• Soft-Start Capability: The LTC4210-2IS6#TR features a soft-start function that gradually ramps up the output voltage, minimizing inrush current and preventing system voltage drop.
• Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO): With its built-in UVLO feature, the device ensures that the hot swap operation only occurs when the supply voltage is within a safe operating range.
• Automatic Retry or Latch Off: In the event of a fault, the controller offers a choice between automatic retry and latch-off modes, allowing for either an auto-recovery or a requirement for manual intervention.
