the voltage on CLPROG represents the average input
current of the PowerPath switching regulator. When the
input current approaches the programmed limit, CLPROG
reaches V
The input current limit is programmed by the I

The input current limit will be set by the V
voltage and the resistor on CLPROG according to the fol-
lowing expression:

a function of battery voltage.
Ideal Diode from BAT to V
The LTC3586-2/LTC3586-3 have an internal ideal diode as
well as a controller for an optional external ideal diode.

If the load current increases beyond the power allowed
from the switching regulator, additional power will be
pulled from the battery via the ideal diode. Furthermore,
if power to V
all of the application power will be provided by the bat-
tery via the ideal diode. The transition from input power
to battery power at V
only the10µF capacitor to keep V
ideal diode consists of a precision amplifier that enables
a large on-chip P-channel MOSFET transistor whenever
the voltage at V
the voltage at BAT. The resistance of the internal ideal
diode is approximately 180mΩ. If this is sufficient for the
application, then no external components are necessary.
However, if more conductance is needed, an external
P-channel MOSFET transistor can be added from BAT to
V
When an external P-channel MOSFET transistor is pres-
ent, the GATE pin of the LTC3586-2/LTC3586-3 drive its
gate for automatic ideal diode control. The source of the
external P-channel MOSFET should be connected to V
and the drain should be connected to BAT. Capable of
driving a 1nF load, the GATE pin can control an external
P-channel MOSFET transistor having an on-resistance of
40mΩ or lower.
