create a near ideal diode function for power switchover
or load sharing. This permits highly efficient OR’ing of
multiple power sources for extended battery life and low
self-heating. When conducting, the voltage drop across
the MOSFET is typically 20mV. For applications with a
wall adapter or other auxiliary power source, the load is
automatically disconnected from the battery when the
auxiliary source is connected. Two or more LTC4412s
may be interconnected to allow load sharing between
multiple batteries or charging of multiple batteries from
a single charger.
The wide supply operating range supports operation
from one to six Li-Ion cells in series. The low quiescent
current (11µA typical) is independent of the load current.
The gate driver includes an internal voltage clamp for
MOSFET protection.
The STAT pin can be used to enable an auxiliary P-channel
MOSFET power switch when an auxiliary supply is
detected. This pin may also be used to indicate to a mi-
crocontroller that an auxiliary supply is connected. The
control (CTL) input enables the user to force the primary
MOSFET off and the STAT pin low.
The LTC4412 is available in a low profile (1mm) ThinSOT
package.

elecTrical characTerisTics
Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC4412 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that T
J
≈
T
A
. The LTC4412E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from
0°C to 85°C operating junction temperature range. Specifications over
the –40°C to 85°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LTC4412I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 85°C operating junction
temperature range. The LTC4412MP is tested and guaranteed over the
–55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction
temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime is degraded
for junction temperatures greater than 125°C. Note that the maximum
ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined
by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the
rated package thermal impedance and other environmental factors. T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power dissipation P
D
according to the following formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
Θ
JA
), where
Θ
JA
=
230°C/W for the TSOT-23 package.
Note 3:
This results in the same supply current as would be observed with
an external P-channel MOSFET connected to the LTC4412 and operating in
forward regulation.
Note 4:
V
IN
is held at 12V and GATE is forced to 10.5V. SENSE is set at
12V to measure the source current at GATE. SENSE is set at 11.9V to
measure sink current at GATE.
Note 5:
V
IN
is held at 12V and SENSE is stepped from 12.2V to 11.8V to
trigger the event. GATE voltage is initially V
G(OFF)
.
Note 6:
V
IN
is held at 12V and SENSE is stepped from 11.8V to 12.2V to
trigger the event. GATE voltage is initially internally clamped at V
G(ON)
.
Note 7:
STAT is forced to V
IN
– 1.5V. SENSE is set at V
IN
– 0.1V to
measure the off current at STAT. SENSE is set V
IN
+ 0.1V to measure the
sink current at STAT.
Note 8:
STAT is forced to 9V and V
IN
is held at 12V. SENSE is stepped
from 11.8V to 12.2V to measure the STAT turn-on time defined when I
STAT
reaches one half the measured I
S(SNK).
