Description
The LTC®4420 is a dual input monolithic PowerPath™
prioritizer, with low operating current, that provides
backup switchover for keeping critical circuitry alive dur-
ing brownout and power loss conditions. Unlike diode-OR
products, little current is drawn from the inactive supply
even if its voltage is greater than the active supply.
Internal 2Ω, current limited PMOS switches provide
power path selection from a primary input (V1) or a backup
input (V2) to the output. Two adjustable voltage monitors
set via external resistive dividers provide flexibility in set-
ting V1 to V2 switchover and V2 undervoltage thresholds.
V1 is monitored continuously while V2 supply monitoring
includes controllable low duty cycle UV monitoring. When
primary input V1 drops, the ADJ monitor causes OUT to
be switched to V2. When V2 drops, it is disconnected from
OUT if V2DIS is low. Fast non-overlap switchover circuitry
prevents reverse and cross conduction while minimizing
output droop.
Auxiliary voltage monitor CMP1 provides flexible voltage
monitoring and output V2OK provides V2 undervoltage
status. Freshness seal mode prevents V2 battery discharge
during storage or shipment.
