DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 985 showcases
®
the
LTC
4245
Hot
2
with I
C™ compatible monitoring in a
CompactPCI™ (CPCI) application. The
LTC4245 resides on the plug-in board,
DC985A-A, which carries a female CPCI
connector. This board plugs into the
male
connector
board, DC985A-B. The plug-in board
also carries the four n-FET switches
and sense resistors required for hot
swap. LEDs provide visual indication
of the important signals and volt-
ages.

C Compatible Monitoring
The board can be configured to work
in a PCI Express™ application by ad-
justing a few jumpers. To access the
powerful monitoring features of the
LTC4245, the I
plane board must be connected to a
DC590 board (available separately).
The LTC4245 can then be controlled
with evaluation software running on a
host PC.

Plug-in board: JP3 ON CONFIG: AUTO;
JP5 PGI: HIGH; JP4 CFG: LOW if us-
ing all four supplies, FLOAT if us-
ing 12V, 5V and 3.3V, HIGH if using
12V, and two 3.3V.
