LT1579
300mA Dual Input Smart
Battery Backup Regulator
Daisy-Chained Control Outputs
FEATURES
The LT
®
1579 is a dual input, single output, low dropout
regulator. This device is designed to provide an
uninterruptible output voltage from two independent input
voltage sources on a priority basis. All of the circuitry
needed to switch smoothly and automatically between
inputs is incorporated.
The LT1579 can supply 300mA of output current from
either input at a dropout voltage of 0.4V. Quiescent current
is 50µA, dropping to 7µA in shutdown. Two comparators
are included to monitor input voltage status. Two addi-
tional status flags indicate which input is supplying power
and provide an early warning against loss of output
regulation when both inputs are low. A secondary select
pin is provided so that the user can force the device to
switch from the primary input to the secondary input.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery pro-
tection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse-
current protection.
The device is available in fixed output voltages of 3V, 3.3V
and 5V, and as an adjustable device with a 1.5V reference
voltage. The LT1579 regulators are available in narrow
16-lead SO and 16-lead SSOP packages with all features,
and in SO-8 with limited features.
