The LTC1710 SMBus dual switch has two built-in 0.4Ω/300mA switches that are controlled by a 2-wire SMBus interface. With a low standby current of 14µA (3.3V), the LTC1710 operates over an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V while maintaining the SMBus specified 0.6V VILand 1.4V VIHinput thresholds.Using the 2-wire interface, CLK and DATA, the LTC1710 follows SMBus’s Send Byte Protocol to independently control the two 0.4Ωinternal N-channel power switches, which are fully enhanced by on-board charge pumps.The LTC1710 has one three-state programmable address pin that allows three different addresses for a total of six available switches on the same bus. The LTC1710 also features a separate user-controlled drain supply (SW0D) to Switch 0 so that it can be used to control SMBus peripherals using a different power supply.ApplicationsHandheld Computer Power ManagementComputer Peripheral ControlLaptop Computer Power Plane SwitchingPortable Equipment Power ControlIndustrial Control SystemsACPI SMBus Interface
