APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

these applications, note that if the I/O cards were plugged

directly into the backplane, all of the backplane and card

capacitances would add directly together, making rise-

and fall-time requirements difficult to meet. Placing a

LTC4300A on the edge of each card, however, isolates the

card capacitance from the backplane. For a given I/O card,

the LTC4300A drives the capacitance of everything on the

card and the backplane must drive only the capacitance

of the LTC4300A, which is less than 10pF.

voltage powering up after all other pins have established

connection, the UVLO circuit ensures that the backplane

and card data and clock busses are not connected until

the transients associated with live insertion have settled.

Owing to their small capacitance, the SDAIN and SCLIN

pins cause minimal disturbance on the backplane busses

when they make contact with the connector.
