  DESIGN FEATURES Low Voltage Hot Swap Controller
  with Inrush Current Control by Chew Lye Huat
  Introduction
  The LTC4216 is a low voltage Hot Swap
  controller that allows a board to be
  safely inserted and removed from a live
  backplane. The LTC4216 is designed
  to meet the latest low voltage board
  supply requirements with its unique
  feature of controlling load voltages
  from 0V to 6V. It also features an adjustable soft-start that provides both
  inrush current limiting and current
  slew rate control at start-up, important
  for the large load capacitors typical in
  low-voltage applications.
  When a board is plugged into a
  backplane, the inrush currents can be
  large enough to create a glitch on the
  load supply causing other boards on
  the bus to malfunction. The LTC4216
  provides a low circuit breaker trip
  threshold (25mV) with adjustable
  response time and analog current …
