3 Description

The LM74810 ideal diode controller drives and

controls external back to back N-channel MOSFETs

to emulate an ideal diode rectifier with power path

ON/OFF control and overvoltage protection. The wide

input supply of 3 V to 65 V allows protection and

control of 12-V and 24-V input powered systems.

The device can withstand and protect the loads

from negative supply voltages down to –65-V. An

integrated ideal diode controller (DGATE) drives the

first MOSFET to replace a Schottky diode for reverse

input protection and output voltage holdup. With a

second MOSFET in the power path the device allows

load disconnect (ON/OFF control) and overvoltage

protection using HGATE control. The device features

an adjustable overvoltage cut-off protection feature.

LM74810 employs reverse current blocking using

linear regulation and comparator scheme. With

common drain configuration of the power MOSFETs,

the mid-point can be utilized for OR-ing designs using

another ideal diode. The LM74810 has a maximum

voltage rating of 65 V. The loads can be protected

from extended overvoltage transients like 200-V

unsuppressed load dumps in 24-V battery systems

by configuring the device with external MOSFETs in

common source topology.
