TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
Switching Power Manager
with USB On-The-Go And
Overvoltage Protection
The LTC4160/LTC4160-1 are high efficiency power man-
agementandLi-Ion/PolymerbatterychargerICs.Theyeach
include a bidirectional switching PowerPath controller
with automatic load prioritization, a battery charger, and
an ideal diode.
TheLTC4160/LTC4160-1’sbidirectionalswitchingregulator
transfers nearly all of the power available from the USB
port to the load with minimal loss and heat which eases
thermal constraints in small spaces. These devices feature
a precision input current limit for USB compatibility and
Bat-Track output control for efficient charging. In addition,
the ICs can also generate 5V at 500mA for USB On-The-
Go applications.
An overvoltage circuit protects the LTC4160/LTC4160-1
from high voltage damage on the USB/wall adapter inputs
with an external N-channel MOSFET and a resistor.
The LTC4160/LTC4160-1 are available in a 3mm × 4mm
× 0.75mm QFN surface mount package.
