Demonstration circuit DC1717A uses the LTC®4417 to
arbitrate between three input supply rails, selecting the
highest priority, valid supply to power the load. The rail’s
priority is defined by the input connection (V1-V3). Each
rail has overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds set by
enabled and powers the load. Two or more LTC4417s
can be cascaded to provide switchover between more
than three rails.

out of the defined window (overvoltage or undervoltage),
the rail with the next highest priority, which is valid, is

DEMO MANUAL DC1717A
overview
The LTC4417 controls three sets of external back-to-back
P-channel MOSFETs to connect the proper rail to the
load. Precision comparators are used to monitor each of
the three input rails for both UV and OV conditions. The
highest priority input supply whose voltage is within its
respective OV/UV window for at least 256ms is consid
ered valid and connected to the load. Low signals on the
VALID1, VALID2, and VALID3 pins indicate validation of
the V1, V2, and V3 voltages.
DC1717A is designed to operate from inputs of 12V,
5V, and 8V, applied to V1, V2 and V3 respectively. The
valid range of each supply is ±20%, as set by OV and UV
comparators and their associated resistive dividers. V1
-
operating principles
To eliminate back-and-forth switching during rail switcho-
, the LTC4417 provides a 30mV hysteresis in the OV and
ver
UV comparators, and an externally adjustable current mode
hysteresis using the OV/UV resistive dividers. DC1717A’s
input reference hysteresis is 6%, and can be changed to
3% by moving the JP1 jumper to the 30mV position.
The controller’s “break-before-make” switching method
prevents cross conduction between input channels and
reverse current from the output capacitor into the selected
input supply.
Each channel’s control circuit of the LTC4417 has a REV
comparator, which monitors the connecting input supply
and output load voltage. The REV comparator delays the
connection until the output voltage droops 120mV below
the input voltage. This prevents reverse current.
The LTC4417 has two common control pins: EN and SHDN.
Pulling the EN pin below 1V turns off all external back-toback P-channel MOSFETs. When this pin is driven above
1V, the highest priority valid channel is connected to the
load. All these actions are provided without resetting the
256ms OV/UV timers.
Pulling the SHDN pin below 0.8V turns off all external
back-to-back P-channel MOSFETs, placing the controller
has the highest priority, V3 has the lowest. The highest
priority input that is also within its valid range is selected
to power the output. V1, V2 and V3 inputs are protected
against input glitches of up to ±42V. Maximum load current is 2A, limited by MOSFET capability.
Logic and LEDs are included to provide visual information
about the operating status. These circuits are powered
from a 6V to 24V auxiliary voltage input (AVI) which is
regulated by an LT3060 (U4) to 5V. This auxiliary 5V rail
also powers 100kΩ pull-ups for VALID pins. AVI must be
present in order for the board to operate. See the Modifica
tion section for a means of eliminating AVI.
in a low current state and resetting the 256ms timers
used to validate input rail voltages. It requires at least
256ms to validate each rail voltage after the SHDN pin
signal goes high.
The LTC4417 features two different driving modes for the
P-channel MOSFET gates.
One mode is provided by the internal soft-start circuitry,

Design proceDure for moDification of Dc1717a
The valid input range for any supply is controlled by the
OV and UV comparators with resistive dividers (R4-R13).
See the LTC4417 data sheet for design equations to select
resistors to match a particular requirement.
Dual MOSFETs, Q1-Q3, may be replaced with single devices
Q4-Q9 by simply removing Q1-Q3. Pads for Q4-Q9 are
located on the bottom side of the board.
The requirement for AVI may be eliminated by removing
jumpers JP2 and JP3, and removing resistor R19. This
modification leaves the LEDs unpowered and the inputs
of U2 and U3 clamp the VALID pins at 0.7V, but otherwise
leaves the LTC4417 operating autonomously.

Quick start proceDure
Refer to the Figure 3 for proper measurement equipment
setup and follow the procedure below:
Initially, the LTC4417 should be disabled by:
• placing the jumper JP2 (EN) header in the OFF position,
and
• placing the jumper JP3 (SHDN) header in the OFF
position
Connecting the auxiliary power source (6V to 24V) to
the DC1717A (AVI and GND turrets) lights the green LED
(LDO-D12) indicating the presence of auxiliary +5V supply
for powering logic.
With power off, connect three power supplies with output
voltages of 12V, 5V, and 8V to corresponding DC1717A
turrets or banana jacks V1(+12V), V2(+5V), V3(+8V),
and GND.
Connect 6Ω load resistor (30W) to the DC1717A output
turret or banana jack (VOUT). Do not use an electronic
load in constant current mode.
Turn on three power supplies. No additional LEDs should
light.
Change the jumper JP3 (SHDN) header position from
OFF to ON. Three LEDs (VALID1, VALID2, and VALID3)
validating the input rail voltages should light.
Placing the jumper JP2 (EN) in the ON position turns on
the LTC4417 powering the load with 12V (2.0A). In an
initial power up the LTC4417 uses a fixed slew rate for the
output voltage, which should be not larger than 5V/ms.
The prioritizing function is demonstrated by simply turning
off one or two of the V1, V2 and V3 supplies. The output
will be powered from the remaining supply of the high
est priority. V1, V2 and V3 may be adjusted up and down
beyond ±20% to invalidate a given input.
