The LT4351 creates a near-ideal diode using external
single or back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs. This ideal
diode function permits low loss ORing of multiple power
sources. Power sources can easily be ORed together to
increase total system power and reliability with minimal
effect on supply voltage or efficiency. Disparate power
supplies can be efficiently ORed together.
The IC monitors the input supply with respect to the load
and turns on the MOSFET(s) when the input supply is
higher. If the MOSFET’s R
DS(ON)
is sufficiently small, the
LT4351 will regulate the voltage across the MOSFET(s) to
15mV. A STATUS pin indicates the MOSFET on state.
An internal boost regulator generates the MOSFET gate
drive voltage. Low operating voltage allows for OR’ing of
supplies as low as 1.2V.
The LT4351 will disable power passage during undervolt-
age or overvoltage conditions. These voltages are set by
resistive dividers on the UV and OV pins. The undervoltage
threshold has user programmable hysteresis. Overvolt-
age detection is filtered to reduce false triggering.
The LT4351 is available in a 10-pin MSOP.

GATE (Pin 1):
MOSFET Gate Drive Pin. This pin is tied to
the gate(s) of the external N-channel MOSFET(s). The
GATE pin drives high when UV is above the V
UV(TH)
threshold, OV is below the V
OV(TH)
threshold and V
IN
is
greater than OUT by 15mV. When not driven high, GATE
actively pulls to GND. GATE can sink or source up to
600mA.
V
DD
(Pin 2):
Gate Drive Supply Pin. This is the supply pin
for the gate drive amplifier. It is either generated by the
onboard boost regulator or supplied externally. When
turning on the MOSFET(s), a large high current pulse flows
through this pin. Bypass the pin with a 1µF capacitor
placed in close proximity to the part. The voltage on this
pin is also the feedback for the boost regulator. If the V
DD
voltage exceeds the V
IN
voltage by 10.7V, the boost switch
is held off.
V
IN
(Pin 3):
Input Supply Pin. This pin is the supply pin for
the control circuitry and the boost regulator. It is also one
input in conjunction with OUT for controlling the
MOSFET(s). Bypassing should include a low ESR/ESL
capacitor placed in close proximity to the part.
SW (Pin 4):
Boost Regulator Switch Pin. This pin is the
boost regulator switch output. It is connected to the boost
inductor and the boost diode. Peak switch current is
limited internally to 450mA. If an external V
DD
supply is
used, leave this pin open.
GND (Pin 5):
Device Ground Pin. This pin is ground for the
boost switch, gate driver as well as the control circuitry.
Tie the V
IN
and V
DD
bypass capacitors and ground plane
close to this pin to minimize the effects of switching
currents on part performance.
