MILPITAS, CA – June 30, 2010 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4219 5A Hot Swap™ controller for protecting low power boards with load supply voltages ranging from 2.9V to 15V. The LTC4219 allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane by limiting the amount of inrush current to the load supply during power up. Hot Swap controllers typically call for a number of supporting components. However, the LTC4219 integrates a power MOSFET and sense resistor in its power path to limit inrush current, reducing the number of … Read More → "Integrated 5Amp MOSFET & RSENSE Provides Highly Integrated Hot Swap Solution"
