DESCRIPTION

Positive High Voltage

Ideal Diode-OR with Input Supply

and Fuse Monitors

ler that drives two external N-channel MOSFETs. Forming

the diode-OR with N-channel MOSFETs instead of Schottky

diodes reduces power consumption, heat dissipation and

PC board area.

With the LTC4355, power sources can easily be ORed

together to increase total system reliability. The LTC4355

can diode-OR two positive supplies or the return paths of

two negative supplies, such as in a –48V system.

In the forward direction the LTC4355 controls the volt-

age drop across the MOSFET to ensure smooth current

transfer from one path to the other without oscillation. If

a power source fails or is shorted, fast turnoff minimizes

reverse current transients.

Power fault detection indicates if the input supplies are

not in regulation, the inline fuses are blown, or the volt-

ages across the MOSFETs are greater than the fault

threshold.
