DC1356A

DC1356A demonstration circuit is a dual hot swap circuit featuring the LTC®1645CS8 dual-channel hot swap controller/ power sequencer. DC1356A facilitates evaluation of the LTC1645 performance characteristics including supply ramp-up transients, steady state operation, and overcurrent fault conditions. The first LTC1645 channel controls a rail from 2.375V to 12.0V, and the second one from 1.2V to 12.0V. DC1356A is assembled to operate with a 5V rail with 5A nominal current (channel 1) and a 3.3V rail with 7A nominal current (channel 2). The LTC1645 is suited for low voltage applications such as board hot insertion and removal and has a rich set of features to support hot swap applications including programmable circuit breakers and programmable power supply sequencing.
