Logic Controlled Power Switch
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 multiple power sources for extended battery life and low selfheating. 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 LTC4412HVs may be interconnected to allow load sharing between multiple batteries 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 microcontroller that an auxiliary supply is connected. The control (CTL) input enables the user to force the primary
MOSFET off and the STAT pin low.

VIN (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 bypassed to ground with a capacitor in the range of 0.1µF to
10µF if needed to suppress load transients.
STAT (Pin 4): Open-Drain Output Status Pin. When the
SENSE pin is pulled above the VIN pin with an auxiliary
power source by about 20mV or more, the reverse turn-off
threshold (VRTO) is reached. The STAT pin will then go
from an open state to a 10µA current sink (IS(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.
GND (Pin 2): Ground. Provides a power return for all the
internal circuits.
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 (VFR) of 20mV
between the VIN 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.
CTL (Pin 3): Digital Control Input. A logical high input (VIH)
on this pin forces the gate to source voltage of the primary
P-channel MOSFET power switch to a small voltage (VGOFF).
This will turn the MOSFET off and no current will flow from
the primary power input at VIN 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
(IS(SNK)). If the STAT pin is used to control an auxiliary Pchannel 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.
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 VIN 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.

OPERATIO
Operation can best be understood by referring to the Block
Diagram, which illustrates the internal circuit blocks along
with the few external components, and the graph that
accompanies Figure 1. The terms primary and auxiliary are
arbitrary and may be changed to suit the application.
Operation begins when either or both power sources are
applied and the CTL control pin is below the input low
voltage of 0.35V (VIL). If only the primary supply is
present, the Power Source Selector will power the
LTC4412HV from the VIN pin. Amplifier A1 will deliver a
current to the Analog Controller block that is proportional
to the voltage difference in the VIN and SENSE pins. While
the voltage on SENSE is lower than VIN – 20mV (VFR), the
Analog Controller will instruct the Linear Gate Driver and
Voltage Clamp block to pull down the GATE pin voltage and
turn on the external P-channel MOSFET. The dynamic pulldown current of 50µA (IG(SNK)) stops when the GATE
voltage reaches ground or the gate clamp voltage. The
gate clamp voltage is 7V (VG(ON)) below the higher of VIN
or VSENSE. As the SENSE voltage pulls up to VIN – 20mV,
the LTC4412HV will regulate the GATE voltage to maintain
a 20mV difference between VIN and VSENSE which is also
the VDS of the MOSFET. The system is now in the forward
regulation mode and the load will be powered from the
primary supply. As the load current varies, the GATE
voltage will be controlled to maintain the 20mV difference.
If the load current exceeds the P-channel MOSFET’s ability
to deliver the current with a 20mV VDS the GATE voltage
will clamp, the MOSFET will behave as a fixed resistor and
the forward voltage will increase slightly. While the MOSFET
is on the STAT pin is an open circuit.
When an auxiliary supply is applied, the SENSE pin will be
pulled higher than the VIN pin through the external diode.
The Power Source Selector will power the LTC4412HV
from the SENSE pin. As the SENSE voltage pulls above
VIN – 20mV, the Analog Controller will instruct the Linear
Gate Driver and Voltage Clamp block to pull the GATE
voltage up to turn off the P-channel MOSFET. When the
voltage on SENSE is higher than VIN + 20mV (VRTO), the
Analog Controller will instruct the Linear Gate Driver and
Voltage Clamp block to rapidly pull the GATE pin voltage
to the SENSE pin voltage. This action will quickly finish
turning off the external P-channel MOSFET if it hasn’t
already turned completely off. For a clean transistion, the
reverse turn-off threshold has hysteresis to prevent
uncertainty. The system is now in the reverse turn-off
mode. Power to the load is being delivered through the
external diode and no current is drawn from the primary
supply. The external diode provides protection in case
the auxiliary supply is below the primary supply, sinks
current to ground or is connected reverse polarity. During the reverse turn-off mode of operation the STAT pin
will sink 10µA of current (IS(SNK)) if connected. Note that
the external MOSFET is wired so that the drain to source
diode will momentarily forward bias when power is first
applied to VIN and will become reverse biased when an
auxiliary supply is applied.
When the CTL (control) input is asserted high, the external
MOSFET will have its gate to source voltage forced to a
small voltage VG(OFF) and the STAT pin will sink 10µA of
current if connected. This feature is useful to allow control
input switching of the load between two power sources as
shown in Figure 4 or as a switchable high side driver as
shown in Figure 7. A 3.5µA internal pull- down current
(ICTL) on the CTL pin will insure a low level input if the pin
should become open.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Introduction
The system designer will find the LTC4412HV useful in a
variety of cost and space sensitive power control applications that include low loss diode OR’ing, fully automatic
switchover from a primary to an auxiliary source of power,
microcontroller controlled switchover from a primary to
an auxiliary source of power, load sharing between two or
more batteries, charging of multiple batteries from a
single charger and high side power switching.
External P-Channel MOSFET Transistor Selection
Important parameters for the selection of MOSFETs are
the maximum drain-source voltage VDS(MAX), threshold
voltage VGS(VT) and on-resistance RDS(ON).
The maximum allowable drain-source voltage, VDS(MAX),
must be high enough to withstand the maximum drainsource voltage seen in the application.
The maximum gate drive voltage for the primary MOSFET
is set by the smaller of the VIN supply voltage or the internal
clamping voltage VG(ON). A logic level MOSFET is commonly used, but if a low supply voltage limits the gate
voltage, a sub-logic level threshold MOSFET should be
considered. The maximum gate drive voltage for the
auxiliary MOSFET, if used, is determined by the external
resistor connected to the STAT pin and the STAT pin sink
current.
As a general rule, select a MOSFET with a low enough
RDS(ON) to obtain the desired VDS while operating at full
load current and an achievable VGS. The MOSFET normally
operates in the linear region and acts like a voltage
controlled resistor. If the MOSFET is grossly undersized,
it can enter the saturation region and a large VDS may
result. However, the drain-source diode of the MOSFET, if
forward biased, will limit VDS. A large VDS, combined with
the load current, will likely result in excessively high
MOSFET power dissipation. Keep in mind that the
LTC4412HV will regulate the forward voltage drop across
the primary MOSFET at 20mV if RDS(ON) is low enough.
The required RDS(ON) can be calculated by dividing 0.02V
by the load current in amps. Achieving forward regulation
will minimize power loss and heat dissipation, but it is not
a necessity. If a forward voltage drop of more than 20mV
is acceptable then a smaller MOSFET can be used, but
must be sized compatible with the higher power dissipation. Care should be taken to ensure that the power
dissipated is never allowed to rise above the manufacturer’s
recommended maximum level. The auxiliary MOSFET
power switch, if used, has similar considerations, but its
VGS can be tailored by resistor selection. When choosing
the resistor value consider the full range of STAT pin
current (IS(SNK) ) that may flow through it.
VIN and SENSE Pin Bypass Capacitors
Many types of capacitors, ranging from 0.1µF to 10µF and
located close to the LTC4412HV, will provide adequate VIN
bypassing if needed. Voltage droop can occur at the load
during a supply switchover because some time is required
to turn on the MOSFET power switch. Factors that determine the magnitude of the voltage droop include the
supply rise and fall times, the MOSFET’s characteristics,
the value of COUT and the load current. Droop can be made
insignificant by the proper choice of COUT, since the droop
is inversely proportional to the capacitance. Bypass capacitance for the load also depends on the application’s
dynamic load requirements and typically ranges from 1µF
to 47µF. In all cases, the maximum droop is limited to the
drain source diode forward drop inside the MOSFET.
Caution must be exercised when using multilayer ceramic
capacitors. Because of the self resonance and high Q
characteristics of some types of ceramic capacitors, high
voltage transients can be generated under some start-up
conditions such as connecting a supply input to a hot
power source. To reduce the Q and prevent these transients from exceeding the LTC4412HV’s absolute maximum voltage rating, the capacitor’s ESR can be increased
by adding up to several ohms of resistance in series with
the ceramic capacitor. Refer to Application Note 88.
The selected capacitance value and capacitor’s ESR can be
verified by observing VIN and SENSE for acceptable voltage transitions during dynamic conditions over the full
load current range. This should be checked with each
power source as well. Ringing may indicate an incorrect
bypass capacitor value and/or too low an ESR.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
VIN and SENSE Pin Usage
Since the analog controller’s thresholds are small (±20mV),
the VIN and SENSE pin connections should be made in a
way to avoid unwanted I • R drops in the power path. Both
pins are protected from negative voltages.
GATE Pin Usage
The GATE pin controls the external P-channel MOSFET
connected between the VIN and SENSE pins when the load
current is supplied by the power source at VIN. In this
mode of operation, the internal current source, which is
responsible for pulling the GATE pin up, is limited to a few
microamps (IG(SRC)). If external opposing leakage currents exceed this, the GATE pin voltage will reach the
clamp voltage (VGON) and VDS will be smaller. The internal
current sink, which is responsible for pulling the GATE pin
down, has a higher current capability (IG(SNK)). With an
auxiliary supply input pulling up on the SENSE pin and
exceeding the VIN pin voltage by 20mV (VRTO), the device
enters the reverse turn-off mode and a much stronger
current source is available to oppose external leakage
currents and turn off the MOSFET (VGOFF).
While in forward regulation, if the on resistance of the
MOSFET is too high to maintain forward regulation, the
GATE pin will maximize the MOSFET’s VGS to that of the
clamp voltage (VGON). The clamping action takes place
between the higher of VIN or VSENSE and the GATE pin.
Status Pin Usage
During normal operation, the open-drain STAT pin can be
biased at any voltage between ground and 36V regardless
of the supply voltage to the LTC4412HV. It is usually
connected to a resistor whose other end connects to a
voltage source. In the forward regulation mode, the STAT
pin will be open (IS(OFF)). When a wall adaptor input or
other auxiliary supply is connected to that input, and the
voltage on SENSE is higher than VIN + 20mV (VRTO), the
system is in the reverse turn-off mode. During this mode
of operation the STAT pin will sink 10µA of current
(IS(SNK)). This will result in a voltage change across the
resistor, depending on the resistance, which is useful to
turn on an auxiliary P-channel MOSFET or signal to a
microcontroller that an auxiliary power source is con-
nected. External leakage currents, if significant, should be
accounted for when determining the voltage across the
resistor when the STAT pin is either on or off.
Control Pin Usage
This is a digital control input pin with low threshold
voltages (VIL,VIH) for use with logic powered from as little
as 1V. During normal operation, the CTL pin can be biased
at any voltage between ground and 36V, regardless of the
supply voltage to the LTC4412HV. A logical high input on
this pin forces the gate to source voltage of the primary
P-channel MOSFET power switch to a small voltage (VGOFF).
This will turn the MOSFET off and no current will flow from
the primary power input at VIN if the MOSFET is configured
so that the drain to source diode is not forward biased. The
high input also forces the STAT pin to sink 10µA of current
(IS(SNK)). See the Typical Applications for various examples on using the STAT pin. A 3.5µA internal pull-down
current (ICTL) on the CTL pin will insure a logical low level
input if the pin should be open.
Protection
Most of the application circuits shown provide some
protection against supply faults such as shorted, low or
reversed supply inputs. The fault protection does not
protect shorted supplies but can isolate other supplies and
the load from faults. A necessary condition of this protection is for all components to have sufficient breakdown
voltages. In some cases, if protection of the auxiliary input
(sometimes referred to as the wall adapter input) is not
required, then the series diode or MOSFET may be eliminated.
Internal protection for the LTC4412HV is provided to
prevent damaging pin currents and excessive internal self
heating during a fault condition. These fault conditions can
be a result of any LTC4412HV pins shorted to ground or to
a power source that is within the pin’s absolute maximum
voltage limits. Both the VIN and SENSE pins are capable of
being taken significantly below ground without current
drain or damage to the IC (see Absolute Maximum Voltage
Limits). This feature allows for reverse-battery condition
without current drain or damage. This internal protection
is not designed to prevent overcurrent or overheating of
external components.

Automatic PowerPath Control
The applications shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 are automatic
ideal diode controllers that require no assistance from a
microcontroller. Each of these will automatically connect
the higher supply voltage, after accounting for certain
diode forward voltage drops, to the load with application
of the higher supply voltage.
Figure 1 illustrates an application circuit for automatic
switchover of a load between a battery and a wall adapter
or other power input. With application of the battery, the
load will initially be pulled up by the drain-source diode of
the P-channel MOSFET. As the LTC4412HV comes into
action, it will control the MOSFET’s gate to turn it on and
reduce the MOSFET’s voltage drop from a diode drop to
20mV. The system is now in the low loss forward regulation mode. Should the wall adapter input be applied, the
Schottky diode will pull up the SENSE pin, connected to the
load, above the battery voltage and the LTC4412HV will
turn the MOSFET off. The STAT pin will then sink current
indicating an auxiliary input is connected. The battery is
now supplying no load current and all the load current
flows through the Schottky diode. A silicon diode could be
used instead of the Schottky, but will result in higher
power dissipation and heating due to the higher forward
voltage drop.

Figure 3 illustrates an application circuit for the automatic
switchover of a load between a battery and a wall adapter
in the comparator mode. It also shows how a battery
charger can be connected. This circuit differs from Figure
1 in the way the SENSE pin is connected. The SENSE pin
is connected directly to the auxiliary power input and not
the load. This change forces the LTC4412HV’s control
circuitry to operate in an open-loop comparator mode.
While the battery supplies the system, the GATE pin
voltage will be forced to its lowest clamped potential,
instead of being regulated to maintain a 20mV drop across
the MOSFET. This has the advantages of minimizing
power loss in the MOSFET by minimizing its RON and not
having the influence of a linear control loop’s dynamics. A
possible disadvantage is if the auxiliary input ramps up
slow enough the load voltage will initially droop before

Figure 2 illustrates an application circuit for automatic
switchover of load between a battery and a wall adapter
that features lowest power loss. Operation is similar to
Figure 1 except that an auxiliary P-channel MOSFET
replaces the diode. The STAT pin is used to turn on the
MOSFET once the SENSE pin voltage exceeds the battery
voltage by 20mV. When the wall adapter input is applied,
the drain-source diode of the auxiliary MOSFET will turn
on first to pull up the SENSE pin and turn off the primary
MOSFET followed by turning on of the auxiliary MOSFET.
Once the auxiliary MOSFET has turned on the voltage drop
across it can be very low depending on the MOSFET’s
characteristics.

rising. This is due to the SENSE pin voltage rising above
the battery voltage and turning off the MOSFET before the
Schottky diode turns on. The factors that determine the
magnitude of the voltage droop are the auxiliary input rise
time, the type of diode used, the value of COUT and the load
current.
Ideal Diode Control with a Microcontroller
Figure 4 illustrates an application circuit for microcontroller monitoring and control of two power sources. The
microcontroller’s analog inputs, perhaps with the aid of a
resistor voltage divider, monitors each supply input and
commands the LTC4412HV through the CTL input. Backto-back MOSFETs are used so that the drain-source diode
will not power the load when the MOSFET is turned off (dual
MOSFETs in one package are commercially available).
With a logical low input on the CTL pin, the primary input
supplies power to the load regardless of the auxiliary
voltage. When CTL is switched high, the auxiliary input
will power the load whether or not it is higher or lower
than the primary power voltage. Once the auxiliary is on,
the primary power can be removed and the auxiliary will
continue to power the load. Only when the primary
voltage is higher than the auxiliary voltage will taking CTL
low switch back to the primary power, otherwise the
auxiliary stays connected. When the primary power is
disconnected and VIN falls below VLOAD, it will turn on the
auxiliary MOSFET if CTL is low, but VLOAD must stay up
long enough for the MOSFET to turn on. At a minimum,
COUT capacitance must be sized to hold up VLOAD until the
transistion between the sets of MOSFETs is complete.
Sufficient capacitance on the load and low or no capacitance on VIN will help ensure this. If desired, this can be
avoided by use of a capacitor on VIN to ensure that VIN
falls more slowly than VLOAD.
Load Sharing
Figure 5 illustrates an application circuit for dual battery
load sharing with automatic switchover of load from
batteries to wall adapter. Whichever battery can supply the
higher voltage will provide the load current until it is
discharged to the voltage of the other battery. The load will
then be shared between the two batteries according to the
capacity of each battery. The higher capacity battery will
provide proportionally higher current to the load. When a
wall adapter input is applied, both MOSFETs will turn off
and no load current will be drawn from the batteries. The
STAT pins provide information as to which input is supplying the load current. This concept can be expanded to
more power inputs.

Multiple Battery Charging
High Side Power Switch
Figure 6 illustrates an application circuit for automatic
dual battery charging from a single charger. Whichever
battery has the lower voltage will receive the charging
current until both battery voltages are equal, then both will
be charged. When both are charged simultaneously, the
higher capacity battery will get proportionally higher current from the charger. For Li-Ion batteries, both batteries
will achieve the float voltage minus the forward regulation
voltage of 20mV. This concept can apply to more than two
batteries. The STAT pins provide information as to which
batteries are being charged. For intelligent control, the
CTL pin input can be used with a microcontroller and
back-to-back MOSFETs as shown in Figure 4. This allows
complete control for disconnection of the charger from
either battery.
Figure 7 illustrates an application circuit for a logic controlled high side power switch. When the CTL pin is a
logical low, the LTC4412HV will turn on the MOSFET.
Because the SENSE pin is grounded, the LTC4412HV will
apply maximum clamped gate drive voltage to the MOSFET.
When the CTL pin is a logical high, the LTC4412HV will
turn off the MOSFET by pulling its gate voltage up to the
supply input voltage and thus deny power to the load. The
MOSFET is connected with its source connected to the
power source. This disables the drain-source diode from
supplying voltage to the load when the MOSFET is off. Note
that if the load is powered from another source, then the
drain-source diode can forward bias and deliver current to
the power supply connected to the VIN pin.
