to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane.
An internal high side switch driver controls the gate of an
external N-channel MOSFET for supply voltages from 2.9V
to 26.5V. A dedicated 12V version (LTC4218-12) contains
preset 12V specific thresholds, while the standard LTC4218
allows adjustable thresholds.
The LTC4218 provides an accurate (5%) current limit with
current foldback limiting. The current limit threshold can
be adjusted dynamically using an external pin. Additional
features include a current monitor output that amplifies
the sense voltage for ground referenced current sensing.
Overvoltage, undervoltage and power good monitoring
are also provided.
