- For the ideal diode stage, connect A, DGATE and C pins of LM74912-Q1 close to the MOSFET's SOURCE, GATE and DRAIN pins.
For the load disconnect stage, connect HGATE and OUT pins of LM74912-Q1 close to the MOSFET's GATE and SOURCE pins.
- The high current path for this solution is through the MOSFET, therefore it is important to use thick and short traces for source and drain of the MOSFET to minimize resistive losses.
The DGATE pin of the LM74912-Q1 must be connected to the MOSFET GATE with short trace.
Place transient suppression components close to LM74912-Q1.
Place the decopuling capacitor, CVS close to VS pin and chip GND.
- The charge pump capacitor across CAP and VS pins must be kept away from the MOSFET to lower the thermal effects on the capacitance value.
Keep device exposed pad (RTN) floating. Do not connect RTN to ground plane.
- Obtaining acceptable performance with alternate layout schemes is possible, however the layout shown in the Layout Example is intended as a guideline and to produce good results.
