Linear Technology LTC4223-1/LTC4223-2 Dual Supply Hot Swap Controller Datasheet
The LTC4223‑1/LTC4223‑2 is a dual‑supply hot‑swap controller designed for Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) and MicroTCA backplanes. It manages a 12 V main supply and a 3.3 V auxiliary supply, providing in‑rush current limiting, short‑circuit protection, adjustable current limit, and thermal shutdown. The LTC4223‑1 version includes a latch‑off circuit breaker, while the LTC4223‑2 version adds automatic retry after a fault.
The document provides absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, pin descriptions, functional diagrams, and typical performance curves. It also includes package information for SSOP and DFN variants and outlines the turn‑on sequence and operation of the internal circuitry.
