LTC1682IMS8#PBF

The LTC1682IMS8#PBF is an integrated hot swap controller designed to facilitate safe insertion and removal of circuit cards from a live backplane. It provides all the necessary features to ensure that the connected circuitry is protected from excessive current during power-up and faulty conditions. This hot swap controller regulates inrush currents and safely limits fault currents to protect sensitive components. It incorporates an adjustable current limit that can be set to match the specific requirements of the application, providing flexibility and customization. The LTC1682IMS8#PBF features a fault timer that disables the external N-channel MOSFET switch when a fault condition persists for a specified amount of time. This feature enhances system-level protection by minimizing the risk of potential damage due to prolonged faults. Furthermore, this hot swap controller is designed to operate in harsh environments, with a wide operating temperature range and robust ESD protection. It is available in an industry-standard 8-lead MSOP package, making it easy to integrate into various applications. Overall, the LTC1682IMS8#PBF offers a reliable and efficient solution for hot swap applications, ensuring the safe and seamless integration of circuit cards into a live backplane.
