microcontroller’s analog inputs (perhaps with the aid of a
resistor voltage divider) monitors each supply input and
the LTC4413 status, and then commands the LTC4413
through the two ENBA/ENBB control inputs.
Automatic Switchover from a Battery to an Auxiliary
Supply or a Wall Adapter
Figure 5 illustrates an application for implementing the
function of automatic switchover from a battery to either
an auxiliary supply or to a wall adapter using the LTC4413.
The LTC4413 automatically senses the presence of a wall
adapter as the ENBB pin voltage is pulled higher than its
rising turn-off threshold of 550mV through resistive divider
(R2 and R3). This disables the AUX input from powering
the load. If the AUX is not present when a wall adapter is
attached (i.e., the BAT is supplying load current), as the
wall adapter voltage rises, the body diode in MP1 forward
biases, pulling the output voltage above the BAT voltage.
The LTC4413 senses a reverse voltage of as little as 10mV
and turns off the ideal diode between INA and OUTA. This
causes the STAT voltage to fall, turning on MP1. The load
then draws current from the wall adapter, and the battery is
disconnected from the load. If the AUX is not present when
the wall adapter is removed, the load voltage droops until
the BAT voltage exceeds the load voltage. The LTC4413
senses that the BAT voltage is greater, causing the STAT
voltage to rise, disabling MP1; the BAT then provides
power to the load.
batteries according to the capacity of each battery. The
higher capacity battery provides proportionally higher
current to the load. When a wall adapter input is applied,
the voltage divider formed by R1 and R2 disables the
LTC4413, causing the STAT pin voltage to fall, turning on
MP1. At this point the load is powered by the wall adapter
and both batteries may be removed without interrupting
the load voltage. When the wall adapter is removed, the
output voltage droops until the voltage divider turns on the
LTC4413, at which point the batteries revert to providing
load power. The status signal can also be used to provide
information as to whether the wall adapter (or BATB) is
supplying the load current.
