FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4160/LTC4160-1 are high efficiency power man-
agementandLi-Ion/PolymerbatterychargerICs.Theyeach
include a bidirectional switching PowerPath™ controller
with automatic load prioritization, a battery charger, and
an ideal diode.

180mΩ Internal Ideal Diode Plus Optional External
Ideal Diode Controller Seamlessly Provides Low
Loss PowerPath When Input Power is Limited or
Unavailable
TheLTC4160/LTC4160-1’sbidirectionalswitchingregulator
transfers nearly all of the power available from the USB
port to the load with minimal loss and heat which eases
