3.2-V to 65-V, 80-uA IQ automotive ideal diode controller
Read more
The LM74700-Q1 is an automotive AEC Q100 qualified ideal diode controller which operates in conjunction with an external N-channel MOSFET as an ideal diode rectifier for low loss reverse polarity protection with a 20-mV forward voltage drop. The wide supply input range of 3.2 V to 65 V allows control of many popular DC bus voltages such as 12-V, 24-V and 48-V automotive battery systems. The 3.2-V input voltage support is particularly well suited for severe cold crank requirements in automotive systems. The device can withstand and protect the loads from negative supply voltages down to –65 V.
