n 24-Lead 4mm Г— 5mm QFN and SSOP Packages The LTCВ®4229 offers ideal diode and Hot Swapв„ў functions
for a power rail by controlling two external N-channel MOSFETs. The MOSFET acting as an ideal diode replaces a high
power Schottky diode and the associated heat sink, saving
power and board area. The Hot Swap MOSFET control allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live
backplane by limiting inrush current. The supply output is
also protected against short-circuit faults with a fast acting …
