Description
The LTC
®
4357 is a positive high voltage ideal diode control-
ler that drives an external N-channel MOSFET to replace a
Schottky diode. When used in diode-OR and high current
diode applications, the LTC4357 reduces power consump-
tion, heat dissipation, voltage loss and PC board area.
The LTC4357 easily ORs power sources to increase total
system reliability. In diode-OR applications, the LTC4357
controls the forward voltage drop across the MOSFET to
ensure smooth current transfer from one path to the other
without oscillation. If the power source fails or is shorted,
a fast turn-off minimizes reverse current transients.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All currents into pins are positive, all voltages are referenced to
GND unless otherwise specified.
Note 3:
An internal clamp limits the GATE pin to a minimum of 10V above
IN or 100V above GND. Driving this pin to voltages beyond this clamp may
damage the device.

pin Functions
Exposed Pad:
Exposed pad may be left open or connected
to GND.
GATE:
Gate Drive Output. The GATE pin pulls high, enhanc-
ing the N-channel MOSFET when the load current creates
more than 25mV of voltage drop across the MOSFET.
When the load current is small, the gate is actively driven
to maintain 25mV across the MOSFET. If reverse current
develops more than –25mV of voltage drop across the
MOSFET, a fast pull-down circuit quickly connects the
GATE pin to the IN pin, turning off the MOSFET.
GND:
Device Ground.
IN:
Input Voltage and GATE Fast Pull-Down Return. IN is
the anode of the ideal diode and connects to the source
of the N-channel MOSFET. The voltage sensed at this pin
is used to control the source-drain voltage across the
MOSFET. The GATE fast pull-down current is returned
through the IN pin. Connect this pin as close as possible
to the MOSFET source.
NC:
No Connection. Not internally connected.
OUT:
Drain Voltage Sense. OUT is the cathode of the ideal
diode and the common output when multiple LTC4357s
are configured as an ideal diode-OR. It connects to the
drain of the N-channel MOSFET. The voltage sensed at
this pin is used to control the source-drain voltage across
the MOSFET.
V
DD
:
Positive Supply Input. The LTC4357 is powered from
the V
DD
pin. Connect this pin to OUT either directly or
through an RC hold-up circuit.
