LTC4412HV
36V, Low Loss PowerPath
TM
Controller in ThinSOT
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
4412HV controls an external P-channel MOSFET
to create a near ideal diode function for power switchover
or load sharing. This permits highly efficient OR’ing of mul-
tiple 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 auto-
matically disconnected from the battery when the auxiliary
source is connected. Two or more LTC4412HVs may be in-
terconnected to allow load sharing between multiple bat-
teries or charging of multiple batteries from a single charger.
The LTC4412HV is an extended supply and temperature
range version of the LTC4412.
The wide supply operating range supports operation from
one to eight 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 micro-
controller that an auxiliary supply is connected. The con-
trol (CTL) input enables the user to force the primary
MOSFET off and the STAT pin low.
The LTC4412HV is available in a low profile (1mm) SOT-23
package.

This results in the same supply current as would be observed with
an external P-channel MOSFET connected to the LTC4412HV and
operating in forward regulation.

V
IN
(Pin 1):
Primary Input Supply Voltage. Supplies power
to the internal circuitry and is one of two voltage sense
inputs to the internal analog controller (The other input to
the controller is the SENSE pin). This input is usually
supplied power from a battery or other power source
which supplies current to the load. This pin can be by-
passed to ground with a capacitor in the range of 0.1µF to
10µF if needed to suppress load transients.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground. Provides a power return for all the
internal circuits.
CTL (Pin 3):
Digital Control Input. A logical high input (V
IH
)
on this pin forces the gate to source voltage of the primary
P-channel MOSFET power switch to a small voltage (V
GOFF
).
This will turn the MOSFET off and no current will flow from
the primary power input at V
IN
if the MOSFET is configured
so that the drain to source diode does not forward bias. A
high input also forces the STAT pin to sink 10µA of current
(I
S(SNK)
). If the STAT pin is used to control an auxiliary P-
channel power switch, then a second active source of
power, such as an AC wall adaptor, will be connected to the
load (see Applications Information). An internal current
sink will pull the CTL pin voltage to ground (logical low) if
the pin is open.
STAT (Pin 4):
Open-Drain Output Status Pin. When the
SENSE pin is pulled above the V
IN
pin with an auxiliary
power source by about 20mV or more, the reverse turn-off
threshold (V
RTO
) is reached. The STAT pin will then go
from an open state to a 10µA current sink (I
S(SNK)
). The
STAT pin current sink can be used, along with an external
resistor, to turn on an auxiliary P-channel power switch
and/or signal the presence of an auxiliary power source to
a microcontroller.
GATE (Pin 5):
Primary P-Channel MOSFET Power Switch
Gate Drive Pin. This pin is directed by the power controller
to maintain a forward regulation voltage (V
FR
) of 20mV
between the V
IN
and SENSE pins when an auxiliary power
source is not present. When an auxiliary power source is
connected, the GATE pin will pull up to the SENSE pin
voltage, turning off the primary P-channel power switch.
SENSE (Pin 6):
Power Sense Input Pin. Supplies power to
the internal circuitry and is a voltage sense input to the
internal analog controller (The other input to the controller
is the V
IN
pin). This input is usually supplied power from
an auxiliary source such as an AC adapter or back-up
battery which also supplies current to the load.
