LT1641
1641fd
Positive High Voltage
Hot Swap Controller
The LT
®
1641 is an 8-pin Hot Swap
TM
controller that allows
a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live
backplane. Using an external N-channel pass transistor,
the board supply voltage can be ramped up at a program-
mable rate. A high side switch driver controls an N-channel
gate for supply voltages ranging from 9V to 80V.
The chip features a programmable analog foldback cur-
rent limit circuit. If the chip remains in current limit for
more than a programmable time, the N-channel pass
transistor turns off and is optionally set to automatically
restart after a time-out delay.
The PWRGD output indicates when the output voltage,
sensed by the FB pin, is within tolerance. The ON pin
provides programmable undervoltage lockout.
The LT1641-1/LT1641-2 are recommended for new
designs.
The LT1641 is available in the 8-lead SO package.
