The LTC
®
4411 is an ideal diode IC, capable of supplying up
to 2.6A from an input voltage between 2.6V and 5.5V. The
LTC4411 is housed in a 5-lead 1mm profile SOT-23
package.
The LTC4411 contains a 140mΩ P-channel MOSFET con-
necting IN to OUT. During normal forward operation, the
drop across the MOSFET is regulated to as low as 28mV.
Quiescent current is less than 40µA for load currents up to
100mA. If the output voltage exceeds the input voltage, the
MOSFET is turned off and less than 1µA of reverse current
flows from OUT to IN. Maximum forward current is limited
to a constant 2.6A (typical) and internal thermal limiting cir-
cuits protect the part during fault conditions.
An open-drain STAT pin indicates conduction status. The
STAT pin can be used to drive an auxiliary P-channel
MOSFET power switch connecting an alternate power
source when the LTC4411 is not conducting forward
current.
An active-high control pin turns off the LTC4411 and
reduces current consumption to less than 25µA. When
shut off, the LTC4411 indicates this condition with a low
voltage on the status signal.

PI FU CTIO S
IN (Pin 1):
Ideal Diode Anode and Positive Power Supply
for LTC4411. When operating LTC4411 as a switch it must
be bypassed with a low ESR ceramic capacitor of 1µF. X5R
and X7R dielectrics are preferred for their superior voltage
and temperature characteristics.
GND (Pin 2):
Power and Signal Ground for the IC.
CTL (Pin 3):
Controlled Shutdown Pin. Weak (3µA) Pull-
Down. Pull this pin high to shut down the IC. Tie to GND
to enable. Can be left floating when not in use.
STAT (Pin 4):
Status Condition Indicator. This pin indi-
cates the conducting status of the LTC4411. If the part is
forward biased (V
IN
> V
OUT
+ V
FWD
) this pin will be Hi-Z.
If the part is reverse biased (V
OUT
> V
IN
+ V
RTO
), then this
pin will pull down 10µA through an open-drain. When
terminated to a high voltage through a 470k resistor, a
high voltage indicates diode conducting. May be left
floating or grounded when not in use.
OUT (Pin 5):
Ideal Diode Cathode and Output of the
LTC4411. Bypass OUT with a nominal 1mΩ ESR capacitor
of at least 4.7µF. The LTC4411 is stable with ESRs down
to 0.2mΩ. However stability improves with higher ESRs.

OPERATIO
LOAD CURRENT (A)
The LTC4411 operation is described with the aid of
Figure 3. Forward regulation for the LTC4411 has three
operation modes depending on the magnitude of the load
current. For small load currents, the LTC4411 will provide
a constant voltage drop; this operating mode is referred to
as “constant V
ON
” regulation. As the current exceeds I
FWD
the voltage drop will increase linearly with the current with
a slope of 1/R
ON
; this operating mode is referred to as
“constant R
ON
” regulation. As the current increases fur-
ther, exceeding I
MAX
, the forward voltage drop will in-
crease rapidly; this operating mode is referred to as
“constant I
ON
” regulation. The characteristics for the
following parameters: R
FWD
, R
ON
, V
FWD
, I
FWD
, and I
MAX
are specified with the aid of Figure 3.
Operation begins when the power source at IN rises above
the UVLO voltage of 2.4V (typ) and the CTL (control) pin
is low. If only the voltage at the IN pin is present, the power
source to LTC4411 (V
DD
) will be supplied from the IN pin.
The amplifier (A) will deliver a voltage proportional to the
difference between V
IN
and V
OUT
to the gate (V
GATE
) of the
internal P-channel MOSFET (P1), driving this gate voltage
below V
IN
. This will turn on P1. As P1 conducts, V
OUT
will
be pulled up towards V
IN
. The LTC4411 will then control
V
GATE
to maintain a low forward voltage drop. The system
is now in forward regulation and the load at OUT will be

powered from the supply at IN. As the load current varies,
V
GATE
will be controlled to maintain a low forward voltage
drop. If the load current exceeds P1’s ability to deliver the
current, as V
GATE
approaches GND, the P1 will behave as
a fixed resistor, with resistance R
ON
, whereby the forward
voltage will increase with increased load current. As I
LOAD
increases further (I
LOAD
> I
MAX
) the LTC4411 will regulate
the load current as described below. During the forward
regulation mode of operation the STAT pin will be an open
circuit.
