LTC4215/LTC4215-2
Hot Swap Controller with
2
I C Compatible Monitoring
FEATURES DESCRIPTION n The LTCВ®4215/LTC4215-2 Hot Swapв„ў controllers allow
a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live
backplane. Using an external N-channel pass transistor,
board supply voltage and inrush current are ramped up at
an adjustable rate. An I2C interface and onboard ADC allow
for monitoring of load current, voltage and fault status. n Allows Safe Insertion into Live Backplane
8-Bit ADC Monitors Current and Voltage
I2C/SMBus Interface
Wide Operating Voltage Range: 2.9V to 15V
