DESCRIPTION
LTC4282
Low Stress Staged Start
200A Hot Swap Controller
Demonstration circuit 2442A features the
high
current Hot Swap controller. The LTC4282 is well suited
to high power applications because the precise monitor-
ing capability and accurate current limiting reduces the
extremes in which both loads and power supplies must
safely operate. Nonvolatile configuration allows for flex-
ibility in the autonomous generation of alerts and response
to faults. The LTC4282 provides a rich set of features to
support Hot Swap applications including:
n
12- to 16-Bit ADC Monitors Current, Voltage, Power
and Energy
n
Controls Two Sets of Parallel MOSFETs for High
Current Applications

Available in a 32-pin 5mm × 5mm QFN package, the
LTC4282 is showcased on DC2442A configured in a
“Low Stress Staged Start” configuration for a 12V/200A
application.
