diodes, each capable of supplying up to 4A with typical
forward conduction resistance of 50mΩ. The diode voltage
drops are regulated to 15mV during forward conduction at
low currents, extending the power supply operating range
and ensuring no oscillations during supply switchover.
Less than 1µA of reverse current flows from OUT to IN
making this device well suited for power supply ORing
applications.
The two ideal diodes are independently enabled and
prioritized using inputs EN1 and
EN2.
The output current
limits can be adjusted independently from 0.5A to 4A
using resistors on the CLIM pins. Furthermore, the ideal
diode currents can be monitored via CLIM pin voltages.
Open-drain status pins indicate when the ideal diodes are
forward conducting. When the die temperature approaches
thermal shutdown, or if the output load exceeds the cur-
rent limit threshold, the corresponding warning pins are
pulled low.

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:
Unless otherwise specified, current into a pin is positive and
current out of a pin is negative.
Note 3:
The LTC4415 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC4415E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC4415I is guaranteed
over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
The junction temperature (T
J
in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
in Watts) according to
the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
)
Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these
specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and
other environmental factors.
Note 4:
The LTC4415 includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 5:
One channel enabled. Quiescent current is identical for each
channel.
Note 6:
Enable inputs are driven to supply levels. Other diode is already
enabled so the chip bias circuits are active.
Note 7:
Turn-on time is measured from enable to I
OUTx
rising through
1mA. When the output voltage is more than 1.2V, soft-start is disabled and
turn-on is faster.
Note 8:
Current ramps from zero to the current limit during the soft-start
duration. Soft-start is measured from 10% to 90% of the current limit. If
the load condition is such that the current does not need to go up to the
current limit during start-up, the output voltage may reach steady state
