Kit Overview

 

Demonstration Circuit 1203 ( DC1203ADC1203A ) showcases two LTC4357LTC4357s in a 48V , 5A Application. The Circuits are operational over a range of  9V to 75V and are fully independent, with the exception of a common ground. Input and output connections are made by 93 mil turrets which if removed, accommodate insertion of up to 12 guage wire for in-situ testing. Adequate copper is available for use up to 20A, with appropriate MOSFETs.

 

The DC1203ADC1203A Demonstration Circuit is built on a  2-layer board.  The two ideal diode circuits are entirely independent, sharing only a common ground. Banana jacks are provided for supply and load connections; turrets facilitate connection of voltmeters and scope probes.

 

The LTC4357LTC4357 is a positive high voltage ideal diode controller that drives an external N-channel MOSFET to replace a Schottky diode. When used in diode-OR and high current diode applications, the LTC4357LTC4357 reduces power consumption, heat dissipation, voltage loss and PC board area.

 

The LTC4357LTC4357 easily ORs power sources to increase total system reliability. In diode-OR applications, the LTC4357 controls the forward voltage drop across the MOSFET to ensure smooth current transfer from one path to the other without oscillation. If the power source fails or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse current transients.

 

Key Applications: Servers, Routers, Switches, Mass Storage, Central Office Computing, Fan Trays, 12V Power Systems.
