The LTC4223CGN-2#PBF is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Linear Technology (now part of Analog Devices Inc.). It is primarily designed for power path and hot swap control applications in systems requiring high availability. The LTC4223CGN-2#PBF offers several key features that make it suitable for various power management scenarios.
Firstly, this IC includes two power MOSFETs, enabling it to provide efficient and reliable power management capabilities. The MOSFETs play a vital role in the power path control, allowing seamless switching between power sources.
The LTC4223CGN-2#PBF offers a robust hot swap capability, ensuring safe insertion and removal of circuit boards in live systems without damaging any components. This feature is particularly useful in applications where continuous operation is critical, as it eliminates the risk of power disruptions or glitches during the hot swap process.
Another distinctive feature of this IC is its built-in protection mechanisms. It incorporates overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent protection, safeguarding the system against potential faults or abnormal conditions. These protection features help prevent damage to the IC, other components, and the overall system.
Furthermore, the LTC4223CGN-2#PBF supports adjustable current limit and fault reporting. The current limit configuration allows users to customize the current threshold according to their specific requirements, ensuring optimal power management
