LTC4236 Diode-OR & Hot Swap Controller
Description
LTC4236, a dual ideal diode-OR and single Hot Swap controller, features a load current monitoring output. High availability systems—servers, network routers, and solid-state drives—power circuit boards with multiple power supply feeds. The LTC4236 combines (diode-ORs) two power supplies while providing inrush current control, over current protection, and current monitoring, all in a compact footprint.
