Data Sheet LT4422 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT4422 is intended for power path control applications, including diode ORing of multiple power supplies, load sharing between multiple batteries or power sources, automatic switch-over from a primary to an auxiliary power source, and charging multiple batteries from a single charger.
USB PD 3.0 and Back-Up Battery Supply
The front-page schematic demonstrates the LT4422 in an application with USB PD (Power Delivery) 3.0 along with a backup Lithium-Ion battery cell. The input voltage from the USB 3.0 connector can range from 5V to 20V, all easily handled by the LT4422. On the other hand, the single lithium-ion cell can be at 3V to 3.6V, which is also easily handled by the LT4422. The common output automatically biases to the higher of the two input voltages. The configuration of STATUS in this application allows the LED to indicate that the USB power path is active, ensuring that the higher power consumption associated with the LED occurs when the USB power source is present. Even if the USB power source is disconnected without a SHDN control signal coming first, the application seamlessly switches to the backup power source. Note that the LED and STATUS functions are optional and easily removed for simplicity by leaving STATUS open. The LT4422 SHDN rising threshold is 1.6V (maximum). To obtain the fastest turn-on response time, it is recommended that SHDN swing to at least the minimum device operating voltage of 1.9V for strong overdrive of the SHDN threshold. To obtain the fastest turn-off of the power path, pulling SHDN well below the minimum 1V threshold (or close to GND) is also recommended. SHDN should never be left open. If logical on/off control is not required, automatic turn-on is achieved by connecting SHDN to IN.
Automatic Power Path Control
The automatic switchover from a battery to a wall adapter or other power source is shown in Figure 14. Initially, with only the battery applied, the load is powered purely through the LT4422 from the battery. If the wall adapter is applied and is greater than the battery voltage, the OUT voltage rises above the IN voltage. The LT4422 senses this increase, disables the IN to OUT connection, and electrically isolates the battery from the power path. Only the wall adapter powers the load, and the battery remains protected. With STATUS connected, as shown in Figure 14, the LED indicator turns on with the wall adapter present. When the wall adapter is not present and the battery powers the load, STATUS pulls high, and the LED indicator turns off. This configuration allows the higher power consumption of the LED to be supplied by the wall adapter when it is connected.
