The LTC4260IUH#TRPBF is a sophisticated negative voltage hot swap controller designed by Linear Technology to enable safe board insertion and removal from a live backplane. This integrated circuit is particularly suitable for systems with a -48V supply, which is a standard in telecom and networking equipment.
Key Features:
- Hot Swap Control: The device allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane by controlling the inrush current to prevent glitches on the power supply rail.
- Wide Operating Range: With an operating voltage range of -9V to -80V, the LTC4260IUH#TRPBF is versatile for various applications that require negative supply voltage.
- Adjustable Current Limit: The current limit threshold can be set with an external resistor, providing flexibility to protect against different levels of overcurrent conditions.
- Multi-Function Timer: An onboard timer provides programmable overcurrent auto-retry and circuit breaker functionality, enhancing the protection features of the device.
- Charge Pump: The internal charge pump drives an external N-channel MOSFET switch, eliminating the need for an additional positive voltage supply.
- Compact Package: The LTC4260IUH#TRPBF comes in a compact 5mm x 5mm QFN-32 package, saving valuable board space for dense circuit designs.
Applications:
- Telecommunications Equipment
- Networking Infrastructure
- Industrial Systems
- Server Backplanes
- Central Office Switching
