ISL6146BFUZ

OR Controllers, Ideal Diodes Overview

The ISL6146BFUZ is a low voltage OR-ing FET controller from the Renesas ISL6146 family, designed for N+1 redundancy and load sharing. It operates with supply voltages between 3V and 20V and supports input voltages from 1V to 18V. The device features an integrated charge pump for driving N-channel MOSFETs, programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and overvoltage protection (OVP). It provides fast reverse current fault isolation and user-adjustable trip points via external resistors. Packaged in an 8-lead MSOP, it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
