Product details
Overview
LTC4420IDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a dual-input micropower PowerPath™ prioritizer IC that selects between primary (V1) and backup (V2) supplies to maintain output continuity during brownout or power loss. It features internal 2Ω PMOS switches, ±1.5% accurate adjustable switchover threshold, 3.6µA operating current, and 320nA V2 standby current when V1 powers OUT - enabling long-life battery backup in portable POS terminals.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4420IDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC4420IDD#TRPBF application, or LTC4420IDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include V1/V2 switchover voltage accuracy, V2 undervoltage monitoring duty cycle control, freshness seal mode activation, reverse voltage blocking (–15V), and thermal protection with 125°C junction limit.
Technical Context
The LTC4420IDD#TRPBF implements break-before-make switchover using dual internal PMOS switches with 1Ω typical RON, non-overlap timing of 1–5µs, and 50mV reverse conduction detection. Its ADJ comparator (1.047V threshold, ±1.5% accuracy) qualifies V1 validity for ≥64ms before connecting OUT, while V2UV monitoring uses a 0.387V reference with programmable duty cycle via V2TEST.
V2 monitoring occurs at intervals of 80–180s with durations of 1–168ms, minimizing quiescent draw; GNDSW pulsed grounding enables low-duty-cycle resistive divider activation. Freshness seal mode disables V2 discharge by holding V2DIS high and V2OK latched low until V1 reassertion triggers exit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.8V to 18V on both V1 and V2 inputs - supports Li-ion, wall adapters, and primary batteries without level shifting. |
| Quiescent Current (V1 active) | 3.6µA typical - enables multi-year operation from coin cells in always-on backup systems. |
| V2 Standby Current (V1 active) | 320nA typical - prevents measurable discharge of backup Li-SOCl₂ batteries during storage. |
| Switch RON | 2Ω max per channel - limits 500mA load dropout to ≤1V at full rated current. |
| Switchover Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature - ensures predictable V1-to-V2 transition within tight system voltage margins. |
| V2 Undervoltage Monitor Accuracy | ±2.3% over temperature - guarantees reliable hold-up battery disconnect before critical voltage collapse. |
| Reverse Voltage Blocking | –15V on inactive input - protects against accidental reverse polarity connection or backfeed. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (GND), rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V1 | Primary power input | Supplies OUT when valid; must exceed 1.55V and sustain ADJ ≥1.097V for 64ms to qualify. |
| V2 | Backup power input | Supplies OUT only after V1 invalidation or during freshness seal exit; monitored via V2UV/GNDSW divider. |
| OUT | Priority-switched output | Delivers power from V1 or V2; requires ≥50mV headroom below active input to enable connection. |
| ADJ | V1 switchover threshold input | Resistive divider sets V1-to-V2 transition point; 1.047V falling threshold with 50mV hysteresis. |
| V2UV | V2 undervoltage monitor input | Resistive divider referenced to 0.387V; GNDSW pulsed grounding enables low-duty-cycle monitoring. |
| V2DIS | V2 path disable control | Drives low to disconnect V2 from OUT when V2UV falls below threshold - prevents weak battery loading. |
| V2OK | V2 validity status output | Open-drain logic output pulled high (5µA) when V2UV > 0.387V at end of monitoring interval. |
| GNDSW | Pulsed ground for V2UV divider | Activates V2 monitoring by grounding divider bottom node; duty cycle controlled by V2TEST. |
| CMP1 | Auxiliary voltage monitor input | Non-inverting input to 0.387V comparator; used for independent supply fault detection or warning. |
| CMPOUT1 | Auxiliary comparator output | Open-drain output pulled low when CMP1 < 0.387V - enables early power failure signaling. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for all circuitry; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal/EMI performance. |
| V2TEST | V2 monitoring duty cycle control | High = ~0.1% monitoring duty cycle; low = disables V2 monitoring entirely when V1 is valid. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Freshness seal mode | Prevents V2 battery self-discharge during shipment/storage by disabling V2 monitoring and disconnecting V2 path until V1 reassertion. |
| Low-duty-cycle V2 monitoring | V2UV sampling every 80–180s for 1–168ms - reduces average V2 current to sub-nA levels in long-term backup. |
| Break-before-make switchover | 1–5µs non-overlap time prevents cross-conduction and reverse current flow during source transitions. |
| Reverse supply protection | Withstands –15V on inactive V1 or V2 input - eliminates need for external reverse-polarity diodes. |
| Overcurrent & thermal protection | Current-limited to 0.5–1.6A with foldback; shuts down above 125°C junction temperature to prevent damage. |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF can block on its V1 or V2 inputs?
The LTC4420IDD#TRPBF blocks reverse voltages up to –15V on either V1 or V2 inputs when that input is inactive. This specification is guaranteed under Absolute Maximum Ratings and enables direct connection to unregulated sources without external reverse-protection diodes. The device maintains this blocking capability across its full –40°C to +85°C operating range, and the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF's internal architecture prevents latch-up or damage even during transient reverse conditions.
How does the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF achieve 320nA V2 standby current when V1 is active?
The LTC4420IDD#TRPBF achieves 320nA V2 standby current by fully disabling the V2 power path and placing the V2UV monitoring circuit in ultra-low-duty-cycle mode. When V1 powers OUT, the internal control logic disconnects V2's PMOS switch and gates off GNDSW pulsing - eliminating divider current and reducing leakage through V2UV/CMP1 pins to sub-nA levels. This behavior is confirmed in Electrical Characteristics tables and validated across temperature, and the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF maintains this performance without external biasing or configuration.
Can the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF be used with a 24V input supply?
No - the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 24V on V1 and V2, but its recommended operating range is strictly 1.8V to 18V. Operation at 24V violates the specified operating conditions and risks permanent damage due to overstress, especially under thermal or transient conditions. For 24V systems, a front-end regulator or clamp is required before the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF input, and the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF itself must remain within its 18V max operating limit.
What is the purpose of the GNDSW pin on the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF, and how is it used?
The GNDSW pin on the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF is an open-drain output that pulses low to activate the V2UV resistive divider during periodic V2 undervoltage monitoring. It enables low-duty-cycle sensing by grounding the bottom node of the V2–V2UV–GNDSW divider only during measurement windows - reducing average V2 current to nanoscale levels. GNDSW is not a general-purpose ground; it must be connected only as part of the V2UV monitoring network, and leaving it floating or misconnected will disable V2 supervision. This function is integral to the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF's battery longevity design.
Does the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF support automatic exit from freshness seal mode?
Yes - the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF automatically exits freshness seal mode when a valid V1 supply (≥1.55V) is applied and the ADJ pin remains ≥1.097V for 32ms. During exit, the device re-enables V2 monitoring, releases V2DIS, and prepares the V2 path for switchover. No external reset or command is required. This behavior is hardwired into the LTC4420IDD#TRPBF's control logic and is independent of V2 voltage or state - ensuring reliable reactivation after storage or shipment without manual intervention.
