LTC4414
36V, Low Loss PowerPath
TM
Controller for Large PFETs
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
4414 controls an external P-channel MOSFET to
create a near ideal diode function for power switchover.
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 typi-
cally 20mV. For applications with a wall adapter or other aux-
iliary power source, the load is automatically disconnected
from the battery when the auxiliary source is connected.
Two or more LTC4414s may be interconnected to allow
switchover between multiple batteries or charging of mul-
tiple batteries from a single charger.
The wide supply operating range supports operation from
one to eight Li-Ion cells in series. The low quiescent
current (30µA 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 LTC4414 is available in a low profile 8-lead MSOP
package.

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 LTC4414E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTC4414I is guaranteed and tested
over the –40° to 125° operating temperature range.
Note 3:
This results in the same supply current as would be observed with
an external P-channel MOSFET connected to the LTC4414 and operating in
forward regulation.
Note 4:
V
IN
is held at 12V and GATE is forced to 9V. 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:

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

PI FU CTIO S
STAT (Pin 1):
Open-Drain Output Status Pin. When the
SENSE pin is pulled above the V
IN
pin with an auxiliary
power source by V
RTO
or more, the reverse turn-off
threshold (V
RTO
) is reached. The STAT pin will then go
from an open state to a 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.
CTL (Pin 2):
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 Open-Drain STAT pin ON. 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 Appli-
cations Information). An internal current sink will pull the
CTL pin voltage to ground (logical low) if the pin is open.
GND (Pin 3):
Ground. Provides a power return for all the
internal circuits.
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.
V
IN
(Pin 7):
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.
GATE (Pin 8):
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.
