ICL7673, connected to a main and a backup power supply,
will connect the supply of greater potential to its output. The
circuit provides break-before-make switch action as it
switches from main to backup power in the event of a main

power supply failure. For proper operation, inputs V and V
must not be allowed to float, and, the difference in the two
supplies must be greater than 50mV. The leakage current

Output Voltage
The output operating voltage range is 2.5V to 15V. The
insertion loss between either input and the output is a
function of load current, input voltage, and temperature. This
is due to the P-Channels being operated in their triode
region, and, the ON-resistance of the switches is a function

of output voltage V . The ON-resistance of the P-Channels

have positive temperature coefficients, and therefore as
temperature increases the insertion loss also increases. At
low load currents the output voltage is nearly equal to the
greater of the two inputs. The maximum voltage drop across

switch P or P is 0.5V, since above this voltage the body-

switching of the inputs and open-drain outputs typically
occurs in 50µs.

Detailed Description
As shown in the Functional Diagram, the ICL7673 includes a
comparator which senses the input voltages V and V . The

limited to 2V per microsecond to avoid potential harm to the
circuit. In line-operated systems, the rate-of-rise (or fall) of
the supply is a function of power supply design. For battery
applications it may be necessary to use a capacitor between
the input and ground pins to limit the rate-of-rise of the
