The LTC4282 ensures safe board insertion and removal from live 2.9V to 33V backplanes. This range covers standard 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 24V supplies. Even where hot-plug is not required, the controller performs inrush current control, current limiting, circuit breaker, and board monitoring functions. Typical applications for this controller are on kilowatt-level high-power boards in mission-critical servers, enterprise data storage systems, network routers and switches, and cellular base stations. By providing board-level electrical data, LTC4282 eases the task of measuring the power and energy consumption of each chassis and consequently that of the entire data center.
