DESCRIPTION
Dual Hot Swap Controller
with I

C Compatible
Monitoring
The LTC
?/DIV>
4222 Hot Swap" controller allows two power
paths to be safely inserted and removed from a live back-
plane. Using external N-channel pass transistors, board
supply voltages and inrush currents are ramped up at an
adjustable rate. An I
2
C interface and onboard ADC allows
for monitoring of current, voltage and fault status for
each channel.
The device features adjustable, analog, foldback current
limit circuits and a soft-start circuit that sets the dI/dt of
the inrush currents. An I
2
C interface may configure the
part to latch off or automatically restart after the LTC4222
detects a fault on either channel.
The controller has additional features to interrupt the host
when a fault has occurred, notify when output power is
good, detect insertion of a load card and power-up either
automatically upon insertion or wait for an I
2
C command
to turn on.
