After a circuit breaker event, the open-drain RDY status output of the Analog Devices Inc. LTC4249 pulls low, and the ECB latches off. Toggling the enable input restarts the ECB after a 1-second cool-down period. The cool-down timer, overtemperature sensor, short-circuit detector, and inrush controller prevent the circuit breaker from operating outside the safe operating area.
The precision enable input, ready output, and analog current monitor output support voltage sequencing and closed-loop bias current control applications. ECB channels can be paralleled as needed. Load isolation and reverse current detection applications are also possible.
