DC1886A

DC1886A demonstration circuit features the LTC4232 5A Integrated Hot Swap™ controller. The LTC4232 is ideally suited for demanding power distribution control in 2.9V to 15V applications for hot board insertion protection, high side power switching, and electronic circuit breaker functions. The LTC4232 provides a rich set of features to support Hot Swap applications including: 2% accurate undervoltage and overvoltage protection, overtemperature protection, adjustable inrush current control, adjustable, 10% accurate current limit with programmable cutout time, programmable output voltage ramp rate, configurable for auto-retry or latchoff on overcurrent faults and power good and fault outputs. The LTC4232 is showcased on demonstration circuit 1886A, configured for a 12V application. By changing a few passive components, 2.9V to 15V applications can easily be evaluated.
