The LTC
®
1473L provides reliable and efficient switching
between two DC power sources. This device drives two
external sets of back-to-back N-channel MOSFET switches
to route power to the input of a low voltage system. An
internal boost regulator provides the voltage to fully en-
hance the logic-level N-channel MOSFET switches while
an internal undervoltage lock-out circuit keeps the system
alive down to 2.8V.
The LTC1473L senses current to limit inrush between the
batteries and the system supply capacitor during switch-
over transitions or during fault conditions. A user-pro-
grammable timer monitors the time the MOSFET switches
are in current limit and latches them off when the pro-
grammed time is exceeded.
A unique “2-diode” logic mode ensures system start-up
regardless of which input receives power first.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
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
)(150°C/W)
Note 3:
Some tests are performed under more stringent conditions to
ensure reliable operation over the entire supply voltage range.
Note 4:
Digital inputs include: IN1, IN2 and DIODE.
Note 5:
I
S
increases by the same amount as I
BSENSE+
+ I
BSENSE–
when
their common mode falls below 5V.
Note 6:
Gate turn-on and turn-off times are measured with no inrush
current limiting, i.e., V
SENSE
= 0V. Gate rise times are measured from 1V to
4.5V and fall times are measured from 4.5V to 1V. Delay times are
measured from the input transition to when the gate voltage has risen or
fallen to 3V. Results are not tested, but guaranteed by design.

IN1 (Pin 1):
Logic Input of Gate Drivers GA1 and GB1. IN1
is disabled when IN2 is high or DIODE is low. During
2-diode mode, asserting IN1 disables the fault timer
function.
IN2 (Pin 2):
Logic Input of Gate Drivers GA2 and GB2. IN2
is disabled when IN1 is high or DIODE is low. During
2-diode mode, asserting IN2 disables the fault timer
function.
DIODE (Pin 3):
“2-Diode Mode” Logic Input. Diode over-
rides IN1 and IN2 by forcing the two back-to-back
external N-channel MOSFET switches to mimic two di-
odes.
TIMER (Pin 4):
Fault Timer. A capacitor connected from
this pin to GND programs the time the MOSFET switches
are allowed to be in current limit. To disable this function,
Pin 4 can be grounded.
V
+
(Pin 5):
Power Supply. Bypass this pin with at least a
1µF capacitor.
V
GG
(Pin 6):
Gate Driver Supply. This high voltage supply
is intended only for driving the internal micropower gate
drive circuitry.
Do not load this pin with any external
circuitry.
Bypass this pin with at least 1µF.
SW (Pin 7):
Open Drain of an Internal N-Channel MOSFET
Switch. This pin drives the bottom of the V
GG
switching
regulator inductor which is connected between this pin and
the V
+
pin.
GND (Pin 8):
Ground.
GB2, GA2 (Pins 9, 11):
Switch Gate Drivers. GA2 and GB2
drive the gates of the second back-to-back external
N-channel switches.
SAB2 (Pin 10):
Source Return. The SAB2 pin is connected
to the sources of SW A2 and SW B2. A small pull-down
current source returns this node to 0V when the switches
are turned off.
SENSE
–
(Pin 12):
Inrush Current Input. This pin should be
connected directly to the bottom (output side) of the low
valued resistor in series with the two input power selector
switch pairs, SW A1/B1 and SW A2/B2, for detecting and
controlling the inrush current into and out of the power
supply sources and the output capacitor.
SENSE
+
(Pin 13):
Inrush Current Input. This pin should be
connected directly to the top (switch side) of the low
valued resistor in series with the two input power selector
switch pairs, SW A1/B1 and SW A2/B2, for detecting and
controlling the inrush current into and out of the power
supply sources and the output capacitor. Current limit is
invoked when (V

±0.2V.
