LT4231IMS-2#PBF – LINEAR

The Linear Technology LT4231IMS-2#PBF is a hot swap controller specifically designed for high availability systems requiring robust power management and fault tolerance. It features a precise current limit and overvoltage protection to safeguard downstream loads. The device’s primary function is to allow safe insertion and removal of boards from a live backplane, managing inrush current and preventing system glitches. The output voltage is rated for up to 16V, while it can source up to 2.5A of continuous current at the output. Housed in a 16-lead MSOP (SMD) package, the LT4231IMS-2#PBF operates reliably across an industrial temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. Its advantages include integrated fault detection and reporting, soft-start functionality to minimize inrush current, and the ability to share current with other LT4231 devices, making it ideal for redundant power supply applications and server blade systems.
