PRODUCTION DATA
A, C, GATE comprises of the ideal diode stage. Connect the source of the external MOSFET to A, drain to C and gate to GATE pin. The LM74722-Q1 has integrated reverse input protection down to –65 V.
In LM74722-Q1, the voltage drop across the MOSFET is continuously monitored between the A and C pins. The GATE to A voltage is adjusted as needed to regulate the forward voltage drop at 13 mV (typical). This closed loop regulation scheme enables graceful turn-off of the MOSFET during a reverse current event and ensures zero DC reverse current flow. This scheme ensures robust performance during slow input voltage ramp down tests. Along with the linear regulation amplifier scheme, the LM74722-Q1 also integrates a fast reverse voltage comparator. When the voltage drop across A and C reaches V(AC_REV) threshold, then the GATE goes low within 0.5 µs (typical). This fast reverse voltage comparator scheme ensures robust performance during fast input voltage ramp down tests such as input micro-shorts. The external MOSFET is turned ON back when the voltage across A and C hits the V(AC_FWD) threshold within 0.72 µs (typical). As shown in Figure 8-1, for ideal diode only designs, connect LM74722-Q1.
