nn Low Profile (1mm) ThinSOTв„ў Package The LTCВ®4412 controls an external P-channel MOSFET to
create a near ideal diode function for power switchover
or load sharing. This permits highly efficient OR’ing of
multiple power sources for extended battery life and low
self-heating. When conducting, the voltage drop across
the MOSFET is typically 20mV. For applications with a
wall adapter or other auxiliary power source, the load is …
