Smart OR-ing boost converter reference design for automotive eCall
Description
This reference design is a smart OR-ing boost converter for automotive emergency call (eCall) applications utilizing a low quiescent current boost controller. The design uses two boost power stages driven by the same controller. The main battery input includes a bypass switch function. The backup battery input has a separate enable with disconnect switches. This combination allows for seamless crossover from the main battery to the backup battery.
