3 Description

The LM5050-1/-Q1 High Side OR-ing FET Controller

operates in conjunction with an external MOSFET as

an ideal diode rectifier when connected in series with

a power source. This ORing controller allows

MOSFETs to replace diode rectifiers in power

distribution networks thus reducing both power loss

and voltage drops.

The LM5050-1/-Q1 controller provides charge pump

gate drive for an external N-Channel MOSFET and a

fast response comparator to turn off the FET when

current flows in the reverse direction. The LM5050-1/-

Q1 can connect power supplies ranging from 5 V to

75 V and can withstand transients up to 100 V.
