Description
Demonstration circuit 1625A is intended to demonstrate
performance of the LTC4227-1/LTC4227-2 dual ideal diode
and Hot Swap™ controller. Each rail has an individual
ideal diode. Ideal diode outputs are connected to the load
through a single Hot Swap circuit.
The DC1625 allows verifying the LTC4227 Hot Swap and
ideal diode functionality during individual supply ramp-up
and ramp-down transients, during power supply shifting
(transferring) transients, steady state, and overcurrent
fault conditions.
Each DC1625A rail circuit is assembled to operate over
the full operating voltage range of the LTC4227: 2.9V to
18V, with a 7.6A maximum current load.

LTC4227-1/LTC4227-2
Dual Ideal Diode and
Single Hot Swap Controller
The board's main components include the LTC4227 con-
troller, two power MOSFETs controlled as ideal diodes and
one power MOSFET controlled as a Hot Swap device, two
jumpers for enabling the second ideal diode (D2ON_SEL)
and Hot Swap controller (HS_ON), two LEDs to indicate
power good (PWRGD) and fault (FAULT) conditions, seven
banana jacks for connecting power supplies and load, many
turrets and pads for observing circuit signals.
