The LTC
®
4354 is a negative voltage diode-OR controller
that drives two external N-channel MOSFETs. It replaces
two Schottky diodes and the associated heatsink, saving
power and area. The power dissipation is greatly reduced
by using N-channel MOSFETs as the pass transistors.
Power sources can easily be ORed together to increase
total system power and reliability.
When first powered up, the MOSFET body diode conducts
the load current until the pass transistor is turned on. The
LTC4354 servos the voltage drop across the pass transis-
tors to ensure smooth transfer of current from one tran-
sistor to the other without oscillation.
The MOSFETs are turned off in less than 1µs whenever the
corresponding power source fails or is shorted. Fast turn-
off prevents the reverse current from reaching a level that
could damage the pass transistors.
A fault detection circuit with an open drain output capable
of driving an LED or opto-coupler indicates either MOSFET
short, MOSFET open or supply failed.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
I
CC
is defined as the current level where the V
CC
voltage is lower
by 100mV from the value with 2mA of current.
Note 3:
An internal shunt regulator limits the V
CC
pin to less than 12V
above V
SS
. Driving this pin to voltages beyond the clamp may damage the
part.
Note 4:
All currents into pins are positive; all voltages are referenced to
V

PI FU CTIO S
DA, DB (Pins 1, 8):
Drain Voltage Sense Inputs. These
pins sense source-drain voltage drop across the N-Chan-
nel MOSFETs. An external resistor is recommended to
protect these pins from transient voltages exceeding 80V
in extreme fault conditions. For Kelvin sensing, connect
these pins as close to the drains as possible. Connect to
V
SS
if unused.
V
CC
(Pin 3):
Positive Supply Voltage Input. Connect this
pin to the positive side of the supply through a resistor. An
internal shunt regulator that can sink up to 20mA typically
clamps V
CC
at 11V. Bypass this pin with a 1µF capacitor to
V
SS
.
GA, GB (Pins 4, 6):
Gate Drive Outputs. Gate pins pull high
to 10V minimum, fully enhancing the N-Channel MOSFET,
when the load current creates more than 30mV of drop
across the FET. When the load current is small, the gates
are actively servoed to maintain a 30mV drop across the
MOSFET. If reverse current develops more than –60mV of
voltage drop across the MOSFET, the pins pull low to V
SS
in less than 1µs. Quickly turning off the pass transistors
prevents excessive reverse currents. Leave the pins open
if unused.
V
SS
(Pins 2, 5):
Negative Supply Voltage Input. This is the
device negative supply input and connects to the common
source connection of the N-Channel MOSFETs. It also
connects to the source voltage sense input of the servo
amplifiers. For Kelvin sensing, connect pin 5 as close to
the common source terminal of the MOSFETs as possible.
FAULT (Pin 7):
Fault Output. Open drain output that
normally pulls the FAULT pin to V
SS
and shunts current to
turn off an external LED or optocoupler. In the fault
condition, where the pass transistor is fully on and the
voltage drop across it is higher than the fault threshold, the
FAULT pin goes high impedance, turning on the LED or
optocoupler. This indicates that one or both of the pass
transistors have failed open or failed short creating a cross
conduction current in between the two power supplies.
Connect to V
SS
if unused.
EXPOSED PAD (Pin 9):
Exposed pad is common to V
SS
and may be left open or connected to pins 2 and 5.
