Description
Demonstration circuit 2180A showcases the
dual negative voltage ideal diode-OR controller and moni-
tor, in a −48V, 50A application. Each channel includes two
paralleled 2mΩ (Max) MOSFETs for a total dissipation of
just 2.5W at full load. Power connections are made by
way of ¼" ring terminals with a cable capacity of 4 AWG.
