LTC4229 Datasheet (Linear) - Ideal Diode and Hot Swap Controller

LTC4229, Ideal Diode and Hot Swap Controller

The LTC®4229 offers ideal diode and Hot Swap™ functions for a power rail by controlling two external N-channel MOSFETs.

The MOSFET acting as an ideal diode replaces a high power Schottky diode and the associated heat sink, saving power and board area.

The Hot Swap MOSFET control allows a board to be
