LTC4420CDD#PBF

OR Controllers, Ideal Diodes Overview

The LTC4420CDD#PBF is a dual-input micropower PowerPath prioritizer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 18V and utilizes an 8-pin DFN package with an exposed pad. The device provides backup switchover functionality to maintain critical circuit operation during brownout or power loss conditions. Unlike diode-OR products, it draws minimal current from inactive supplies even if their voltage exceeds the active source.

OR Controllers, Ideal Diodes Feature Summary

• Dual input monolithic PowerPath prioritizer architecture
• Micropower operating current for energy efficiency
• Backup supply monitoring capability
• Low-loss switching between primary and backup sources
