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 and 24-V battery systems. The device controls the GATE of the MOSFET to regulate the forward voltage drop at 20 mV. The regulation scheme enables graceful turn off of the MOSFET during a reverse current event and ensures zero DC reverse current flow. Fast response (< 0.75 µs) to Reverse Current Blocking makes the device suitable for systems with output voltage holdup requirements during ISO7637 pulse testing as well as power fail and input micro-short conditions.
