LTC4417
Prioritized PowerPath™
Controller
Description
The LTC®4417 connects one of three valid power supplies
to a common output based on priority. Priority is defined
by pin assignment, with V1 assigned the highest priority
and V3 the lowest priority. A power supply is defined as
valid when its voltage has been within its overvoltage (OV)
and undervoltage (UV) window continuously for at least
256ms. If the highest priority valid input falls out of the
OV/UV window, the channel is immediately disconnected
and the next highest priority valid input is connected to the
common output. Two or more LTC4417s can be cascaded
to provide switchover between more than three inputs.
The LTC4417 incorporates fast non-overlap switching
circuitry to prevent both reverse and cross conduction
while minimizing output droop. The gate driver includes
a 6V clamp to protect external MOSFETs. A controlled
output ramp feature minimizes start-up inrush current.
Open drain VALID outputs indicate the input supplies have
been within their OV/UV window for 256ms.
