PIN FUNCTIONS

GND (Pin 14): Device Ground.

IN (Pins 2 - 7): Input Voltage and Positive Supply. IN is

the ideal diode anode and source of the internal N-channel

MOSFET. Connect these pins to the power supply input

that delivers power to the load. Bypass with a 0.1µF or

larger capacitor to suppress load transients.

OUT (Pins 8 - 13): Output Voltage. OUT is the ideal diode

cathode and drain of the internal N-channel MOSFET. This

is the common output when multiple LTC4450s are diode

OR-ed. Bypass with a 0.1µF or larger capacitor.

SHDN# (Pin 16): Shutdown Control Input. Driving this

between IN and OUT and lowers the current consumption

of LTC4450 below 5µA. STATUS is pulled low to indicate

that the LTC4450 is disabled. When driven low, a con-

nection from IN to OUT still exists through the MOSFET’s

operate as an ideal diode. Connect to the highest on IN

changing over time due to supplies being swapped in and

not used.

STATUS (Pin 15): Gate Status Output. STATUS pulls low

when the gate of the N-channel MOSFET is pulled low

indicating that the LTC4450 operates in reverse bias or

in shutdown. Otherwise, STATUS pulls high indicating

that the LTC4450 is operating in forward bias. Connect

through a pull-up resistor to the highest of IN or VCC. If

the highest supply voltage is changing over time due to

supplies being swapped in and out, connect to a diode-OR

to ground if unused.
