LTC1645
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Supply Glitching
LTC1645 Hot Swap circuits on the backplane are generally
used to provide power-up/down sequence at insertion/
removal as well as overload/short-circuit protection. If a
short-circuit occurs at supply ramp-up, the circuit breaker
trips. The partially enhanced FET is easily disconnected
without any supply glitch.
If a dead short occurs after a supply connection is made
(Figure 8), the sense resistor R1 and the RDS(ON) of the
fully enhanced FET provide a low impedance path for
