Product Overview
The LTC4418CUF#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual-channel prioritized PowerPath controller in a 20-lead 4x4mm QFN package. It connects one of two valid power supplies to a common output based on priority and validity, with 2.5V to 40V operating range, 26μA quiescent current, ±1.5% OV/UV protection, and fast non-overlap switchover that blocks reverse and cross conduction currents.
