1642fb
Hot Swap Controller
The LTC
®
1642 is a 16-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 transis-
tor, the board supply voltage can be ramped up at an
adjustable rate. A high side switch driver controls the
N-Channel gate for supply voltages above 2.97V.
The SENSE pin allows foldback limiting of the load current,
with circuit breaker action after an adjustable delay time.
The delay allows the part to power-up in current limit. The
CRWBR output can be used to trigger an SCR for crowbar
protection of the load if the input supply exceeds an
adjustable threshold. The RESET output can generate a
system reset with adjustable delay when the supply
voltage falls below an adjustable threshold. The ON
pin cycles the board power. The LTC1642 is available in
the 16-pin SSOP package.
