Product details
Overview
LTC4415EDHC#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel monolithic ideal diode controller IC designed for high-current power supply ORing and prioritized switchover applications. It integrates two independent 4A ideal diodes with 50mΩ typical on-resistance, 15mV regulated forward drop at low load, and adjustable current limiting from 0.5A to 4A per channel. It operates across 1.7V–5.5V input range and is used in battery/wall-adapter ORing, supercapacitor backup, and multi-source power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4415EDHC#PBF datasheet, LTC4415EDHC#PBF pinout, LTC4415EDHC#PBF application, or LTC4415EDHC#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include dual independent enable logic (EN1 high-active / EN2 low-active), open-drain STAT/WARN status outputs, CLIM-based current monitoring and limit setting, thermal warning (130°C) and shutdown (160°C), and compatibility with 3mm × 5mm DFN-16 (exposed pad) layout requirements.
Technical Context
The LTC4415EDHC#PBF implements two independent PowerPath™ ideal diode circuits using internal PFETs with gate drivers that regulate forward voltage drop to 15mV at light loads and transition to constant-resistance mode (RON = 50mΩ typ.) at higher currents. Each channel features precision enable thresholds (800mV typ., 55mV hysteresis), undervoltage lockout (1.63V), and reverse turn-off voltage of –30mV.
Current limiting is set via external resistors on CLIM1/CLIM2 (125Ω–1000Ω), yielding 0.5A–4A adjustable limits with ±8% accuracy at 4A; current monitoring is achieved via 1:1000 IOUT-to-ICLIM scaling. Thermal protection includes independent die temperature sensing per channel, with WARN pins asserting at 130°C and thermal shutdown at 160°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.5V - supports Li-ion, USB, and industrial rail voltages without level-shifting. |
| Max Output Current per Channel | 4A - enables high-power load sharing without external MOSFETs or heatsinks in compact layouts. |
| Forward Regulation Drop | 15mV (typ.) - extends battery runtime and maintains regulation in low-headroom systems vs. Schottky diodes. |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 1µA max - prevents backfeed in ORing configurations and preserves secondary source integrity. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 50mΩ (typ.) - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise at full 4A load (≤0.8W/channel). |
| Switchover Time | 9µs - ensures seamless, glitch-free transitions between primary and backup supplies during fault events. |
| Thermal Warning Threshold | 130°C - provides early overtemperature alert while allowing continued operation until 160°C shutdown. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (5mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1 (Pins 1, 2) | Diode 1 anode input | Fused pins accept primary supply; bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor near package. |
| EN1 (Pin 3) | High-active enable for Diode 1 | Enables conduction when >800mV; hysteresis ensures clean turn-on/turn-off at 745mV threshold. |
| CLIM1 (Pin 4) | Current limit adjust & monitor for Diode 1 | Resistor to GND sets 0.5A–4A limit; voltage = IOUT1/1000 enables real-time current sensing. |
| CLIM2 (Pin 5) | Current limit adjust & monitor for Diode 2 | Independent of CLIM1; same scaling and resistor range; critical for asymmetric load sharing. |
| EN2 (Pin 6) | Low-active enable for Diode 2 | Enables when <800mV - enables priority-based ORing where Diode 2 acts as backup path. |
| IN2 (Pins 7, 8) | Diode 2 anode input | Fused pins accept secondary supply (e.g., backup battery); requires local 4.7µF decoupling. |
| OUT2 (Pins 9, 10) | Diode 2 cathode output | Fused pins connect to shared load node; must be tied to OUT1 for ORing configuration. |
| STAT2 (Pin 11) | Open-drain status for Diode 2 | Pulled low during forward conduction; high-Z when disabled or in reverse blocking - indicates active path. |
| WARN2 (Pin 12) | Overcurrent/thermal warning for Diode 2 | Pulled low after 500µs delay if IOUT2 exceeds limit or die temp ≥130°C - enables system-level fault response. |
| WARN1 (Pin 13) | Overcurrent/thermal warning for Diode 1 | Independent warning signal; allows per-channel fault isolation without cross-talk. |
| STAT1 (Pin 14) | Open-drain status for Diode 1 | Active-low indicator synchronized to Diode 1 conduction - used for sequencing or telemetry. |
| OUT1 (Pins 15, 16) | Diode 1 cathode output | Fused pins join OUT2 at load node; requires local 4.7µF capacitor to suppress switchover droop. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power and thermal ground | Exposed pad must be soldered to solid PCB ground plane - essential for thermal reliability and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent ideal diodes | Each supports up to 4A with 15mV regulated forward drop and 50mΩ RON - eliminates need for discrete Schottky or MOSFET solutions. |
| Adjustable per-channel current limit | 0.5A–4A via external CLIM resistors (125Ω–1000Ω), with ±8% accuracy at full scale - enables precise overcurrent protection matching load requirements. |
| Priority-based ORing control | EN1 (high-active) and EN2 (low-active) allow deterministic switchover hierarchy - e.g., wall adapter (Diode 1) takes precedence over battery (Diode 2). |
| Real-time load current monitoring | CLIM pins output 1/1000× IOUT - enables analog current readback without shunt resistors or additional ICs. |
| Integrated thermal warning & shutdown | Per-channel 130°C warning and 160°C shutdown with hysteresis - protects against sustained overload while preserving system visibility. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 44µA (forward) / 13µA (shutdown) - minimizes standby drain in battery-backed systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ideal diode controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4412EMS#PBF | Single-channel, 2.5A max, no current limit adjustment, no CLIM monitoring, smaller MSOP-8 package. | Suitable only for non-redundant, lower-current paths; lacks dual-path coordination and telemetry. | Select when cost, size, or simplicity outweigh need for dual-channel control and current visibility. |
| TPS2113APWR | TI dual ideal diode with fixed 2A limit per channel, no adjustable current limit, no thermal warning pins, 2.5V–5.5V range. | No per-channel temperature monitoring or WARN signaling; less flexible enable logic (both high-active). | Choose for basic ORing where thermal margin is ample and current limiting is not required beyond 2A. |
Compared with LTC4415EDHC#PBF, LTC4412EMS#PBF reduces channel count and monitoring capability but lowers BOM cost and footprint; TPS2113APWR offers TI ecosystem integration but sacrifices programmability, thermal diagnostics, and low-voltage operation below 2.5V.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range of the LTC4415EDHC#PBF?
The LTC4415EDHC#PBF operates from 1.7V to 5.5V across its IN1, IN2, OUT1, and OUT2 pins. This range supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), USB-powered systems (4.75–5.25V), and industrial 3.3V/5V rails. The device requires at least one input or output to remain within this window to maintain functionality, and its undervoltage lockout triggers at 1.63V (rising) to prevent erratic behavior during brownout conditions.
How does the LTC4415EDHC#PBF implement prioritized power switchover?
The LTC4415EDHC#PBF uses complementary enable logic: EN1 is high-active and EN2 is low-active. When both inputs are present, Diode 1 (IN1→OUT1) conducts first. If IN1 drops below UVLO or EN1 is deasserted, Diode 2 (IN2→OUT2) automatically engages - provided EN2 is pulled low. This asymmetry enables deterministic priority without external logic, making LTC4415EDHC#PBF ideal for wall-adapter-first battery-backup systems.
Can the LTC4415EDHC#PBF monitor output current in real time?
Yes - the LTC4415EDHC#PBF provides real-time current monitoring via its CLIM1 and CLIM2 pins, which sink current equal to 1/1000th of their respective output currents (IOUT1 and IOUT2). By measuring the voltage across the ground-connected CLIM resistor (e.g., 124Ω), users calculate IOUT = 1000 × VCLIM / RCLIM. This eliminates the need for external sense resistors or amplifiers, reducing BOM count and board area.
What thermal protection features does the LTC4415EDHC#PBF include?
The LTC4415EDHC#PBF incorporates per-channel thermal sensing with two distinct thresholds: a 130°C warning (TWARN) that pulls WARN1/WARN2 low with 15°C hysteresis, and a 160°C thermal shutdown (TSD) that disables the affected channel and releases STAT1/STAT2. These independent protections allow one diode to shut down due to overload while the other continues supplying power - critical for fault-tolerant ORing designs.
Is the LTC4415EDHC#PBF pin-compatible with other packages in the LTC4415 family?
No - the LTC4415EDHC#PBF uses the 16-lead 5mm × 3mm DFN package (DHC), while the LTC4415EMSE#PBF uses a 16-lead MSOP (MSE). Although both share identical pin numbering and functions, the DFN exposes a thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND) requiring PCB land pattern adaptation, and has different thermal resistance (θJA = 43°C/W vs. 35–40°C/W for MSOP). Layout and thermal design must be re-validated when switching packages.
