LTC4357HDCB#PBF

OR Controllers, Ideal Diodes Overview

The LTC4357HDCB#PBF is a positive high voltage ideal diode controller manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It drives an external N-channel MOSFET to replace Schottky diodes, reducing power consumption and heat dissipation in applications. The device operates within a wide voltage range of 9V to 80V and features a 0.5µs turn-off time to limit peak fault current. It ensures smooth switchover without oscillation and prevents reverse DC current. The component is available in a compact 6-lead DFN package.

OR Controllers, Ideal Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix HDCB corresponds to the 6-lead DFN package configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributors. Ensure the part number matches the exact pinout and thermal requirements for your PCB layout design before finalizing procurement orders.

OR Controllers, Ideal Diodes Selection Notes

Select this controller when operating voltages exceed standard low-voltage ideal diode limits, specifically between 9V and 80V. It is suitable for designs requiring minimal quiescent current and precise fault current limiting. Consider the external MOSFET selection carefully to match the controller's drive capabilities and thermal performance requirements for the target application load.

OR Controllers, Ideal Diodes Part Context
