DescripTion
The
LTC
®
4231
is a micropower Hot Swap™ controller that
allows safe circuit board insertion and removal from a live
power supply. An internal high side switch driver controls
the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET. Back-to-back
MOSFETs can be used for reverse supply protection down
to –40V.
The LTC4231 provides a debounce delay and allows the
GATE to be ramped up at an adjustable rate. After start-
up, the LTC4231's quiescent current drops to 4µA during
normal operation with output active. UVL, UVH, OV and
GNDSW monitor overvoltage and undervoltage periodi-
cally, keeping total quiescent current low. Pulling
SHDN
low shuts down the LTC4231 and quiescent current drops
to 0.3µA.
During an overcurrent fault, the LTC4231 actively limits
current while running an adjustable timer. The LTC4231-1
remains off after a current fault while the LTC4231-2
automatically reapplies power after a cool-down period.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to GND unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
These pins can be tied to voltages below –0.3V through a
resistance that limits the current below 1mA.
Note 4:
An internal clamp limits GATE to a minimum of 13V above
SOURCE. Driving this pin to voltages beyond this clamp may damage the
device.
Note 5:
For modes where GATE is pulled to GND, I

= I
