LM74810-Q1 is an ideal diode controller that drives and controls external back to back N-Channel MOSFETs. The first MOSFET to replace a Schottky diode and the second MOSFET allows load disconnect switch control. LM74810-Q1 has a wide input supply 3 V to 65 V, ideal for protection and control of 12 V automotive battery systems. Through controlling the MOSFETs, LM74810-Q1 provides reverse input protection, Reverse current blocking, in-rush current control, and adjustable over voltage protection.
TIDA-020040 controls two sets of MOSFETs in parallel to aid in decreasing power dissipation from the MOSFETs Rdson at high currents.
Adjustable over voltage protection is controlled through a resistor divider and connection to the OV pin of LM74810-Q1 which goes to an internal comparator with a set 1.23 V reference. When the voltage applied to OV is higher than the 1.23 V reference, overvoltage is triggered.
The design allows shorting J1 connector for over voltage clamping or shorting J3 connector for over voltage cut-off. For both connections, the resistor divider is the same to allow over voltage to trigger at 18.2 V.
