Dual Negative Voltage
Ideal Diode-OR Controller
and Monitor
The LT C
®
4371 is a two-input negative voltage ideal diode-OR
controller that drives external N-channel MOSFETs as a low
dissipation alternative to Schottky diodes in high power –48V
systems. Low power dissipation and voltage loss eliminates
the need for heatsinks and reduces PC board area. Power
sources can be easily ORed together to increase total system
power and reliability.
The LTC4371 tolerates ±300V transients such as those
experienced during lightning-induced surges and input
supply short-circuit events. The internal shunt regulator
and low 350μA quiescent current allow the use of a large
value dropping resistor to protect the supply pin against
high voltage transients, while the high impedance drain
pins can be similarly protected by high value series resis
-
tors without compromising diode operation.
The 220ns
reverse current turn-off is achieved by a power
ful
2A gate driver with low propagation delay, thereby minimizing
peak reverse current under catastrophic fault conditions. Open
MOSFET and fuse faults are indicated at the FAULTB pin, which
is capable of sinking 5mA to drive an LED or opto isolator.
