ZHCSHW4A December 2017 – January 2019 TPS23523
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS23523 features integrated OR-ing that controls the external MOSFET in a way to emulate an ideal diode. The TPS23523 will regulate the forward drop across the OR-ing FET to 25 mV. This is accomplished by controlling the VGS of the MOSFET. As the current decreases the VGS is also decreased, which effectively increases the RDSON of the MOSFET. This process is regulated with a low gain amplifier that is gate (OR-ing FET) pole compensated. The lower gain helps ensure stability over various operating conditions. The regulating amplifier ensures that there is no DC reverse current.
However, the amplifier is not very fast and thus it is paired with a fast comparator. This comparator quickly turns off the FET if there is significant reverse current detected.
