  and extraction and reports on the state of the supply
  voltages via the HEALTHY# signal. Although В±12V supplies are provided on the CompactPCI
  backplanes, many plug-in boards only require 5V and
  3.3V. The LTC В®1646 is the ideal power supply isolation
  controller for these applications. LTC1646 Feature Summary
  The LTC1646 features can be summarized as follows: The LTC1646 Hot Swapв„ў controller is designed to
  meet the power supply isolation requirements found
  in the CompactPCI hot swap specification PICMG 2.1
  for plug-in boards requiring 5V and/or 3.3V supplies.
  The chip will turn a board’s supply voltages on and
  off in a controlled manner, allowing the card to be
  safely inserted or removed without causing glitches
  on the power supplies and causing other boards in the
  system to reset. It also protects against short circuits,
  precharges the bus I/O connector pins during insertion

  DESIGN FEATURES CompactPCI Hot Swap Controllers
  with Bus Precharge, On-Chip Intercept
  of PCI Reset Signal and Much More
  by Andrew Gardner
  Introduction
  When a circuit board is inserted into
  a “hot” (powered) backplane, its supply bypass capacitors can draw large
  currents from the backplane power
  bus as they charge. These currents
  can cause glitches on the backplane
  supply voltage, resetting other boards
  in the system, and can even damage
  edge connectors. The LTC1644 and
  LTC1646 Hot Swapв„ў controllers
  safely limit these charging currents
  during board insertion into a hot backplane. They also offer several features
  specifically tailored for CompactPCIв„ў
