DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1579 is a dual input, single output, low dropout
regulator. This device is designed to provide an
uninterruptible output voltage from two independent input
voltage sources on a priority basis. All of the circuitry
needed to switch smoothly and automatically between
inputs is incorporated.
The LT1579 can supply 300mA of output current from
either input at a dropout voltage of 0.4V. Quiescent current
is 50µA, dropping to 7µA in shutdown. Two comparators
are included to monitor input voltage status. Two addi-
tional status flags indicate which input is supplying power
and provide an early warning against loss of output
regulation when both inputs are low. A secondary select
pin is provided so that the user can force the device to
switch from the primary input to the secondary input.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery pro-
tection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse-
current protection.
The device is available in fixed output voltages of 3V, 3.3V
and 5V, and as an adjustable device with a 1.5V reference
voltage. The LT1579 regulators are available in narrow
16-lead SO and 16-lead SSOP packages with all features,
and in SO-8 with limited features.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1:
Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction
temperature. The regulated output voltage specification will not apply for
all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. When
operating at maximum input voltage, output current must be limited.
When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage range must
be limited.
Note 2:
The LT1579 (adjustable version) is tested and specified with the
adjust pin connected to the output pin and a 3µA DC load.
Note 3:
Dropout voltage is the minimum input-to-output voltage
differential required to maintain regulation at the specified output current.
In dropout, the output voltage will be equal to V
IN
– V
DROPOUT
.
Note 4:
To meet the requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT1579
(adjustable version) is connected with an external resistor divider for a
3.3V output voltage (see curve of Minimum Input Voltage vs Temperature
in the Typical Performance Characteristics). For this configuration,
V
OUT(NOMINAL)
= 3.3V.
Note 5:
Ground pin current will rise at T
J
> 75°C. This is due to internal
circuitry designed to compensate for leakage currents in the output
transistor at high temperatures. This allows quiescent current to be
minimized at lower temperatures, yet maintain output regulation at high
temperatures with light loads. See the curve of Quiescent Current vs
Temperature in the Typical Performance Characteristics.
Note 6:
Standby current is the minimum quiescent current for a given
input while the other input supplies the load and bias currents.
Note 7:
Current flow is out of the pin.
Note 8:
Minimum input voltage is the voltage required on either input to
maintain the 1.5V reference for the error amplifier and low-battery
comparators.
Note 9:
Total quiescent current in shutdown will be approximately equal to
I
VIN1
+ I
VIN2
– I
SRC
. Both I
VIN1
and I
VIN2
are specified for worst-case
conditions. I
VIN1
is specified under the condition that V
IN1
> V
IN2
and I
VIN2
is specified under the condition that V
IN2
> V
IN1
. I
SRC
is drawn from the
highest input voltage only. For normal operating conditions, the quiescent
current of the input with the lowest input voltage will be equal to the
specified quiescent current minus I
SRC
. For example, if V
IN1
= 20V, V
IN2
=
6V then I
VIN1
= 5µA and I
VIN2
= 5µA – 3µA = 2µA.
Note 10:
The specification applies to both inputs independently
(LBI1, LBI2).
Note 11:
Low-battery comparator hysteresis will change as a function of
current in the low-battery comparator output. See the curve of Low-Battery
Comparator Hysteresis vs Sink Current in the Typical Performance
Characteristics.
