LTC4216IDE#TRPBF - Hot Swap Controller from Linear Technology

The LTC4216IDE#TRPBF is a sophisticated hot swap controller designed by Linear Technology to manage the insertion and removal of circuit boards into a live backplane or other power sources. This integrated circuit (IC) allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live system without causing any disruption or damage to the main power bus or the components on the board itself.

Key Features

• Adjustable Supply Voltage: The LTC4216 supports a wide supply voltage range, accommodating various system requirements.
• Overcurrent Protection: Features a fast acting current limit to protect the system from overcurrent conditions, which can be triggered by short circuits or excessive load.
• High-Speed Circuit Breaker: The device includes a circuit breaker function with an adjustable response time, ensuring quick disconnection in the event of a fault to minimize potential damage.
• Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO): The UVLO feature ensures that the controller remains off if the supply voltage is too low, preventing erratic system behavior.
• Over Temperature Protection: It incorporates temperature sensing to prevent overheating, which enhances system reliability.
• Compact Packaging: Offered in a 12-lead DFN package, the LTC4216 is designed for space-constrained applications.

Applications

The LTC4216IDE#TRPBF is ideal for use in a variety of applications where hot swapping is necessary, including:

• RAID Systems
• Servers and Network Routers
• Telecommunications Equipment
• Industrial Systems
