LTC4450 Series

The LTC4450 is a high performance Schottky diode replacement using an integrated N-Channel power MOSFET. It easily ORs power supplies together to increase system reliability and prevent reverse conduction.The LTC4450 regulates the forward voltage at 15mV to minimize power loss compared to Schottky diodes. Regulation ensures smooth current transfer without oscillation in diode-OR applications. When the power MOSFET is fully enhanced, the RDS(ON)of the transistor is 7mΩ and rated for forward conduction up to 12A while dissipating 1W. A high performance gate driver with fast transient response minimizes both forward power dissipation and reverse current. The VCCinput allows VINto work down to ground for low voltage applications. The LTC4450 is available in a small 16-Lead 2mm × 3mm LQFN Package.APPLICATIONSSchottky Diode ReplacementIndustrial, Medical and Consumer Portable DevicesBattery and Wall Adapter Diode-ORing
