LTC4218 Datasheet Hot Swap Controller

Manufacturer: Linear Technology (now Analog Devices)

General Description

The LTC®4218 is a Hot Swap controller that allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane.

An internal high side switch driver controls the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET for supply voltages from 2.9V to 26.5V.

A dedicated 12V version (LTC4218-12) contains preset 12V specific thresholds, while the standard LTC4218 allows adjustable thresholds.
