The overtemperature condition is detected when the inter-
nal die temperature increases beyond 150°C. An overtem-
perature condition will cause the gate amplifiers (A and B)
as well as the two P-channel MOSFETs (PA and PB) to be
shut off. When the internal die temperature cools to below
140°C, the amplifiers will turn on and revert to normal
operation. Note that prolonged operation under overtem-
perature conditions will degrade reliability.

Introduction
Dual Battery Load Sharing with Automatic Switchover
to a Wall Adapter
The LTC4413 is intended for power control applications
that include low loss diode ORing, fully automatic
switchoverfromaprimarytoanauxiliarysourceofpower,
microcontroller controlled switchover from a primary to
an auxiliary source of power, load sharing between two or
more batteries, charging of multiple batteries from a
single charger and high side power switching.
An application circuit for dual battery load sharing with
automaticswitchoverofloadfrombatteriestoawalladapter
is shown in Figure 3. When the wall adapter is not present,
whichever battery that has the higher voltage will provide
