The LTC
®
1473 provides a power management solution for
single and dual battery notebook computers and other
portable equipment. The LTC1473 drives two sets of back-
to-back N-channel MOSFET switches to route power to the
input of the main system switching regulator. An internal
boost regulator provides the voltage to fully enhance the
logic level N-channel MOSFET switches.
The LTC1473 senses current to limit surge currents both
into and out of the batteries and the system supply
capacitor during switch-over transitions or during fault
conditions. A user-programmable timer monitors the time
the MOSFET switches are in current limit and latches them
off when the programmed time is exceeded.
A unique “2-diode mode” logic ensures system start-up
regardless of which input receives power first.

Note 4: Gate turn-on and turn-off times are measured with no inrush
current limiting, i.e., V
SENSE
= 0V. Gate rise times are measured from 1V to
4.5V and fall times are measured from 4.5V to 1V. Delay times are
measured from the input transition to when the gate voltage has risen or
fallen to 3V.
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
T
J
= T

+ (P

)(150°C/W)
