Two-Supply Diode-OR
Current Balancing Controller
The LTC
®
4370 is a two-supply current sharing controller
which incorporates MOSFET ideal diodes. The diodes
block reverse and shoot-through currents during start-up
and fault conditions. Their forward voltage is adjusted to
share the load currents between supplies. Unlike other
sharing methods, neither a share bus nor trim pins on
the supply are required.
The maximum MOSFET voltage drop can be set with a
resistor. A fast gate turn-on reduces the load voltage
droop during supply switchover. If the input supply fails
or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse current
transients.
The controller operates with supplies from 2.9V to 18V.
For lower rail voltages, an external supply is needed at
the V
CC
pin. Enable inputs can be used to turn off the
MOSFET and put the controller in a low current state.
Status outputs indicate whether the MOSFETs are on or
off. The load sharing function can be disabled to turn the
LTC4370 into a dual ideal diode controller.
