OPERATIO
LTC4211
HOT CIRCUIT INSERTION
When circuit boards are inserted into or removed from live
backplanes, the supply bypass capacitors can draw huge
transient currents from the backplane power bus as they
charge. The transient current can cause permanent dam-
age to the connector pins as well as cause glitches on the
system supply, causing other boards in the system to
reset.
The LTC4211 is designed to turn a printed circuit board’s
supply voltages ON and OFF in a controlled manner, allow-
ing the circuit board to be safely inserted or removed from
a live backplane. The device provides a system reset signal
to indicate when board supply voltage drops below a pre-
determined level, as well as a dual function fault monitor.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR
The LTC4211 uses a 1.236V bandgap reference, precision
voltage comparator and an external resistor divider to
monitor the output supply voltage as shown in Figure 1.
The operation of the supply monitor in normal mode is il-
lustrated in Figure 2. When the supply voltage at the FB pin
drops below its reset threshold (1.236V), the comparator

COMP2 output goes high. After passing through a glitch fil-
ter, RESET is pulled low (Time Point N2). When the voltage
at the FB pin rises above its reset threshold (1.239V),
COMP2’s output goes low and a timing cycle starts (Time
Point N4). After a complete timing cycle, RESET is pulled
high by the external pull-up resistor. If the FB pin rises above
the reset threshold for less than a timing cycle, the RESET
output remains low (Time Point N3).
As shown in Figure 5, the LTC4211’s RESET pin is logic
low during any undervoltage lockout condition and during
the initial insertion of a PC board. Under normal operation,
RESET goes to logic high at the end of the soft-start cycle
only after the FB pin voltage rises above its reset threshold
of 1.239V.
