DESCRIPTION
5A Ideal Diode
The LTC
®
4358 is a 5A ideal diode that uses an internal
20mΩ N-channel MOSFET to replace a Schottky diode
when used in diode-OR and high current diode applica-
tions. The LTC4358 reduces power consumption, heat
dissipation, and PC board area.
The LTC4358 easily ORs power supplies together to in-
crease total system reliability. In diode-OR applications,
the LTC4358 regulates the forward voltage drop across
the internal MOSFET to ensure smooth current transfer
from one path to the other without oscillation. If the power
source fails or is shorted, a fast turnoff minimizes reverse
current transients.
