pin of a DC/DC converter. The PB input achieves PowerPath
control by toggling this EN pin.
Note that in this application both of the ideal diodes are
enabled all the time, therefore either Q1 or Q2 can be
replaced by Schottky diodes as long as the voltage drop
across the Schottky diodes and their reverse leakage cur-
rents are acceptable.
Configuration B:
Pushbutton Controller with Preferential WALL Adapter
Operation and Automatic Switchover to Battery
In this configuration (Figure 4) the M1 pin is connected
to ground and the M2 pin is used as a monitor on the
wall adapter input to alter the behavior of the ideal diode
drivers. When the wall adapter voltage is below the trip
threshold, both of the ideal diodes are enabled.
When the wall adapter voltage is above the trip threshold,
the primary ideal diode driver is disabled (shutting off Q1
and Q3) and the secondary ideal diode driver is enabled
(turning on Q2). This means the load current will be sup-
plied from the wall adapter (V2) regardless of the voltage
level at the battery (V1).
If the wall adapter voltage trip threshold is set lower than
the battery input voltage level and the wall adapter input
can go high impedance, the capacitance on V2 needs to
be minimized. This is to ensure proper operation when the
wall adapter goes high impedance and Q1, Q3 is instantly
turned on.
Noting the possible current path through the PFET body
diode, a back-to-back PFET configuration must be used
for Q1, Q3 to make sure that no current will flow from the
battery (V1) to the VS pin even if the wall adapter (V2)
voltage is less than the battery (V1) voltage.
Configuration C:
Pushbutton Control of Ideal Diode Drivers
In this configuration the M2 pin is tied to the M1 pin.
Since the M1 pin has a 3μA internal pull-up current, this
current causes both M1 and M2 to pull high. This allows
the PB pin to have complete control of both the ideal diode
drivers and the EN pin.
The first valid pushbutton input turns on both of the ideal
diode drivers causing the VS pin to be driven to the higher
of either the wall adapter or the battery input – providing
power to the system directly. Conversely, a valid pushbut-
ton off input turns off the ideal diodes after the shutdown
sequence involving an interrupt to the system.

Configuration D:
Battery Backup with Pushbutton PowerPath Controller
In this configuration shown in Figure 6, the M1 pin is left
floating allowing its own 3μA internal pull-up to pull itself
above threshold. With M1 high, the device operates such
that rising and falling edges on the M2 pin are interpreted
as digital on and off commands respectively.
In Figure 6, the M2 pin monitors the wall adapter voltage.
When power is first applied to the wall adapter so that the
voltage at the M2 pin rises above its rising trip threshold

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
(0.515V), both of the ideal diode drivers and the DC/DC
converter are enabled. Thus, power is delivered to the
system.
As soon as the wall adapter voltage falls below its trip
threshold, a shutdown sequence is immediately started. At
the end of the shutdown sequence, the ideal diode drivers
and the DC/DC converter are disabled. Thus, power is cut
off from the load and the system is in shutdown.
Note that once power is delivered to the system, the PB pin
can be used to turn off the power. If PB is used to turn off
the power in this configuration, there are two methods to
turn the power back on: a valid pushbutton on event at the
PB pin or a recycling of the wall adapter voltage (bringing
the voltage level at the M2 pin down below and then back
up above its threshold – a digital on command).
Also note that in this application, the voltage threshold of
the wall adapter input (being monitored at the M2 pin) is
usually set higher than the battery input voltage. Therefore,
the only time when power is drawn from the battery (V1
pin) to the load is during the shutdown sequence when
the voltage at the wall adapter input (V2 pin) has collapsed
below the battery input voltage level.
Reverse Battery Protection
To protect the LTC2952 from a reverse battery connection,
place a 1k resistor in series with the respective supply pin
intended for battery connection (V1 and/or V2) and remove
any capacitance on the protected pin. Figure 7 shows a
configuration with a reverse battery protection on the V1
pin. This resistor will limit the amount of current that flows
out of the V1 pin when a battery is connected in reverse
and protect the part.
Note however, this reverse battery protection resistor
should not be too large in value since the V1 and V2 pins
are also used as the anode sense pins of the ideal diode
drivers. When the ideal diode driver is on, the VS pin
supplies most of the quiescent current of the part (60μA
typ) and the supply pin supplies the remaining quiescent
current (20μA typ). Therefore, the recommended 1k reverse
battery protection resistor amounts to an additional 20mV
(1k • 20μA) drop across the P-channel MOSFET.
In Figure 7, when the battery voltage is larger than the wall
adapter voltage, the battery supplies the load current to
the DC/DC converter. The ideal diode driver regulates G1
to maintain a fixed voltage drop from V1 to VS of 20mV
(typ). Since there is a 20mV drop across the reverse battery
protection resistor (R1) then the regulated voltage drop
from the battery to the VS pin is 40mV (typ).

Pushbutton Input and Circuitry
The PB pin is a high impedance input to an accurate com-
parator with a 10μA pull-up to an LDO regulated internal
supply of 4V. The PB input comparator has a 0.775V falling
trip threshold with 25mV hysteresis. Protection circuitry
allows the PB pin to operate over wide range from –6V
to 28V with an ESD HBM rating of ±8kV.
The pushbutton circuitry debounces the input into the PB
pin that sets an internal ON/OFF signal. This signal initiates
a turn ON/OFF power sequence.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The timing diagram in Figure 8 shows the PB pin being
debounced and setting an internal ON/OFF signal. Note that
a high at the internal ON/OFF signal indicates that the last
event was a turn-on command and a low at the internal
ON/OFF signal indicates that the last event was a turn-off
command. Here specifically the turn-on command is a
result of a pushbutton on event and the turn-off command
is a result of a pushbutton off event.
Note that a complete pushbutton consists of a push event
and a release event. The push event (falling edge) on and
off debounce durations on the PB pin can be increased
beyond the fixed internal 26ms by placing a capacitor on
the ONT and OFFT pins respectively. The following equa-
tions describe the additional debounce time that a push
event at the PB pin must satisfy before it is recognized as
a valid pushbutton on or off.

are the ONT and OFFT external program-

Note that during the push event of the pushbutton off, the
INT pin is asserted low after the initial 26ms debounce
duration. The INT pin asserts low when the PB pin is
held low during the OFFT debounce duration and during
the shutdown sequence. If the PB pin pulls high before
the OFFT time ends, the INT pin immediately turns high
impedance. On the other hand, if the PB pin is still held
low at the end of the OFFT time, the INT pin continues to
assert low throughout the ensuing shutdown sequence.
On a release event (rising edge) of the pushbutton switch
following a valid push event, the PB pin must be continu-
ously held above its rising threshold (0.8V) for a fixed
26ms internal debounce time.
In a typical application, the PB pin is connected to a
pushbutton switch. If the switch exhibits high leakage
current (>10μA), connecting an external pull-up resistor
to V1, V2 and/or VS (depending on the application) is
recommended. Furthermore, if the pushbutton switch is
physically located far from the LTC2952’s PB pin, signals
may couple onto the high impedance PB input. Placing
a 0.1μF capacitor from the PB pin to ground reduces the
impact of signal coupling. Additionally, parasitic series
inductance may cause undesirable ringing at the PB pin.
This can be minimized by placing a 5k resistor in series
and located next to the switch.
