DESCRIPTION
Positive High Voltage
Ideal Diode-OR with Input Supply
and Fuse Monitors
The LTC
®
4355 is a positive voltage ideal diode-OR control-
ler that drives two external N-channel MOSFETs. Forming
the diode-OR with N-channel MOSFETs instead of Schottky
diodes reduces power consumption, heat dissipation and
PC board area.
With the LTC4355, power sources can easily be ORed
together to increase total system reliability. The LTC4355
can diode-OR two positive supplies or the return paths of
two negative supplies, such as in a –48V system.
In the forward direction the LTC4355 controls the volt-
age drop across the MOSFET to ensure smooth current
transfer from one path to the other without oscillation. If
a power source fails or is shorted, fast turnoff minimizes
reverse current transients.
Power fault detection indicates if the input supplies are
not in regulation, the inline fuses are blown, or the volt-
ages across the MOSFETs are greater than the fault
threshold.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Exposed Pad: Exposed pad may be left open or connected
to GND.
FUSEFLTx: Fuse Fault Outputs. Open-drain output that
pulls to GND when VINx < 3.5V, indicating that the fuse
has blown open. Otherwise, this output is high impedance.
Connect to GND if unused.
GATEx: Gate Drive Outputs. The GATE pins pull high,
enhancing the N-channel MOSFET when the load cur-
rent creates more than 25mV of voltage drop across
the MOSFET. When the load current is small, the
gates are actively driven to maintain 25mV across the
MOSFET. If the reverse current develops more than
–25mV of voltage drop across a MOSFET, a fast pull-down
circuit quickly connects the GATE pin to the IN pin, turning
off the MOSFET. Limit the capacitance between the GATE
and IN pins to less than 0.1μF.
GND: Device Ground.
INx: Input Voltages and GATE Fast Pull-Down Returns. The
IN pins are the anodes of the ideal diodes and connect to the
sources of the N-channel MOSFETs. The voltages sensed
at these pins are used to control the source-drain voltages
across the MOSFETs and are used by the fault detection
circuits that drive the PWRFLT, FUSEFLT, and VDSFLT pins.
The GATE fast pull-down current is returned through the IN
pins. Connect these pins as close to the MOSFET sources
as possible. Connect to OUT if unused.
MONx: Input Supply Monitors. These pins are used to
sense the input supply voltages. Connect these pins to
external resistive dividers between the input supplies and
GND. If VMONx falls below 1.23V, the PWRFLTx pin pulls
to GND. Connect to GND if unused.
NC: No Connection. Not internally connected. These
pins provide extra distance between high and low volt-
age pins.
OUT: Drain Voltage Sense and Positive Supply Input. OUT
is the diode-OR output of IN1 and IN2. It connects to the
common drain connection of the N-channel MOSFETs. The
voltage sensed at this pin is used to control the source-
drain voltages across the MOSFETs and is used by the
fault detection circuits that drive the PWRFLT and VDSFLT
pins. The LTC4355 is powered from the OUT pin.
PWRFLTx: Power Fault Outputs. Open-drain output
that pulls to GND when VMONx falls below 1.23V or
the forward voltage across the MOSFET exceeds
ΔVSD(FLT). When VMONx is above 1.23V and the
forward voltage across the MOSFET is less than
ΔVSD(FLT), PWRFLTx is high impedance. Connect to GND
if unused.
SET: ΔVSD(FLT) Threshold Confi guration Input. Tying SET
to GND, to a 100k resistor connected to GND, or leaving
SET open confi gures the ΔVSD(FLT) forward voltage fault
t h r e s h o l d t o 2 5 0 m V, 5 0 0 mV, o r 1. 5 V, r e s p e c t i v e l y. W h e n t h e
voltage across a MOSFET exceeds ΔVSD(FLT), the VSDFLT
pin and at least one of the PWRFLT pins pull to GND.
VDSFLT: MOSFET Fault Output. Open-drain output that
pulls to GND when the forward voltage across either
MOSFET exceeds ΔVSD(FLT). PWRFLT1 or PWRFLT2 also
pulls low to indicate which MOSFETs forward voltage drop
exceeds ΔVSD(FLT). Otherwise, this pin is high impedance.
Connect to GND if unused.

OPERATION
High availability systems often employ parallel-connected
power supplies or battery feeds to achieve redundancy
and enhance system reliability. ORing diodes have been
a popular means of connecting these supplies at the
point of load. The disadvantage of this approach is the
forward voltage drop and resulting ef ciency loss. This
drop reduces the available supply voltage and dissipates
signifi cant power. Using N-channel MOSFETs to replace
Schottky diodes reduces the power dissipation and
eliminates the need for costly heat sinks or large thermal
layouts in high power applications.
The LTC4355 is a positive voltage diode-OR controller
that drives two external N-channel MOSFETs as pass
transistors to replace ORing diodes. The IN and OUT
pins form the anodes and cathodes of the ideal diodes.
The source pins of the external MOSFETs are connected
to the IN pins. The drains of the MOSFETs are connected
together at the OUT pin, which is the positive supply of
the device. The gates of the external MOSFETs are driven
by the LTC4355 to regulate the voltage drop across the
pass transistors.
At power-up, the initial load current fl ows through the
body diode of the MOSFET with the higher INx voltage.
The associated GATEx pin immediately ramps up and
turns on the MOSFET. The ampli er tries to regulate the
voltage drop across the source and drain connections to
25mV. If the load current causes more than 25mV of drop,
the MOSFET gate is driven fully on and the voltage drop
is equal to RDS(ON) • ILOAD.
When the power supply voltages are nearly equal, this
regulation technique ensures that the load current is
smoothly shared between the MOSFETs without oscil-
lation. The current fl owing through each pass trans-
istor depends on the RDS(ON) of each MOSFET and the
output impedances of the supplies.
In the event of a supply failure, such as if the supply that
is conducting most or all of the current is shorted to GND,
reverse current fl ows temporarily through the MOSFET that
is on. This current is sourced from any load capacitance
and from the second supply through the body diode of
the other MOSFET. The LTC4355 quickly responds to this
condition, turning off the MOSFET in about 500ns. This
fast turn-off prevents the reverse current from ramping
up to a damaging level.
In the case where the forward voltage drop exceeds the
confi gurable fault threshold, ΔVSD(FLT), the VDSFLT pin
pulls low. Using this pin to shunt current away from an
LED or opto-coupler provides an indication that a pass
transistor has either failed or has excessive forward current.
Additionally, in this condition the PWRFLT1 or PWRFLT2
pin pulls low to identify the faulting channel.
The PWRFLT pins also indicate if an input supply is within
regulation. When VMON1 < 1.23V or VMON2 < 1.23V, the
corresponding PWRFLT pin pulls low to indicate that the
input supply is low, turning off an optional LED or opto-
coupler.
The FUSEFLT pins indicate the status of input fuses. If
the voltage at one of the IN pins is less than 3.5V, the
corresponding FUSEFLT pin pulls low. The IN pins sink
a minimum of 0.5mA to guarantee that the IN pin will
pull low when the input fuse is blown open. Note that the
FUSEFLT pin will activate if the input supply is less than
3.5V even if the fuse is intact.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
MOSFET Selection
The LTC4355 drives N-channel MOSFETs to conduct the
load current. The important features of the MOSFETs are
on-resistance RDS(ON), the maximum drain-source voltage
VDSS, and the threshold voltage.
The gate drive for the MOSFET is guaranteed to be greater
than 4.5V when the supply voltage at VOUT is between
9V and 20V. When the supply voltage at VOUT is greater
than 20V, the gate drive is guaranteed to be greater than
10V. The gate drive is limited to less than 18V. This allows
the use of logic level threshold N-channel MOSFETs and
standard N-channel MOSFETs above 20V. An external
Zener diode can be used to clamp the potential from the
MOSFETs gate to source if the rated breakdown voltage
is less than 18V. See the Typical Applications section for
an example.
The maximum allowable drain-source voltage, BVDSS,
must be higher than the supply voltages. If an input is
connected to GND, the full supply voltage will appear
across the MOSFET.
If the voltage drop across either MOSFET exceeds the con-
fi g u r a b l e ΔVSD(FLT) fault threshold, the VDSFLT pin and the
PWRFLT pin corresponding to the faulting channel pull low.
The RDS(ON) should be small enough to conduct the maximum
load current while not triggering a fault, and to stay within
the MOSFETs power rating at the maximum load current
(I2 • RDS(ON)).
Fault Conditions
The LTC4355 monitors fault conditions and shunts current
away from LEDs or opto-couplers, turning each one off to
indicate a speci c fault condition (see Table 1).
When the voltage drop across the pass transistor is
higher than the con gurable ΔVSD(FLT) fault threshold, the
internal pull-down at the VDSFLT pin and the PWRFLT1 or
PWRFLT2 pin corresponding to the faulting channel turns
on. The ΔVSD(FLT) threshold is confi gured by the SET pin.
Tying SET to GND, tying SET to a 100k resistor connected
to GND, or oating SET con gures ΔVSD(FLT) to 250mV,
500mV, or 1.5V respectively.

*ΔVSD2 < ΔVSD(FLT)
Fault conditions that may cause a high voltage across the
pass transistor include: a MOSFET open on the higher
supply, excessive MOSFET current due to overcurrent
on the load or a shorted MOSFET on the lower supply.
During startup or when a switchover between supplies
occurs, the VDSFLT pin and PWRFLT1 or PWRFLT2 pin
may momentarily indicate that the forward voltage has
exceeded the programmed threshold during the short
interval when the MOSFET gate ramps up and the body
diode conducts.
The PWRFLT pins are additionally used to indicate if either
input supply is below its normal regulation range. If the
voltage at the MON1 or MON2 pin is less than VMON(TH),
typically 1.23V, the corresponding PWRFLT1 or PWRFLT2
pin will pull low. A resistive divider connected to the input
supply drives the MON pin for the corresponding supply,
confi guring the PWRFLT threshold for that supply. Be sure
to account for the tolerance of the MON pin threshold,
the resistor tolerances, and the regulation range of the
supply being monitored. Also, ensure that the voltage on
the MON pin will not exceed 7V.
The FUSEFLT pins are used to indicate the status of the
input fuses. If one of the IN pins falls below VINx(TH), typi-
cally 3.5V, the FUSEFLT pin corresponding to that supply
will pull low. The IN pins each sink a minimum of 0.5mA,
enough to pull the pin low after an input fuse blows open.
If there is a possibility that the MOSFET leakage current
can be greater than 0.5mA, a resistor can be connected
between the IN pin and GND to sink more current. Note
that if the input supply voltage is less than VINx(TH) the
FUSEFLT pin will pull low.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
System Power Supply Failure
The LTC4355 automatically supplies load current from the
system input supply with the higher voltage. If this supply
shorts to ground, reverse current begins to fl ow through
the pass transistor temporarily and the transistor begins
to turn off. When this reverse current creates –25mV of
voltage drop across the drain and source pins of the pass
transistor, a fast pull-down circuit engages to drive the
gate low faster.
The remaining system power supply delivers the load cur-
rent through the body diode of its pass transistor until the
channel turns on. The LTC4355 ramps the gate up with
20μA, turning on the N-channel MOSFET to reduce the
voltage drop across it.
Input Short-Circuit Faults
The dynamic behavior of an active, ideal diode entering
reverse bias is most accurately characterized by a delay
followed by a period of reverse recovery. During the delay
phase some reverse current is built up, limited by para-
sitic resistances and inductances. During the reverse re-
covery phase, energy stored in the parasitic inductances
is transferred to other elements in the circuit. Current
slew rates during reverse recovery may reach 100A/μs
or higher.
High slew rates coupled with parasitic inductances in se-
ries with the input and output paths may cause potentially
destructive transients to appear at the IN and OUT pins of
the LTC4355 during reverse recovery. A zero impedance
short-circuit directly across an input that is supplying
current is especially troublesome because it permits the
highest possible reverse current to build up during the
delay phase. When the MOSFET fi nally commutates the
reverse current the LTC4355 IN pin experiences a nega-
tive voltage spike, while the OUT pin spikes in the positive
direction.
To prevent damage to the LTC4355 under conditions of
input short-circuit, protect the IN pins and OUT pin as
shown in Figure 1. The IN pins are protected by clamping
to the GND pin in the negative direction. Protect the OUT
pin with a clamp, such as with a TVS or TransZorb, or with
a local bypass capacitor of at least 10μF. In low voltage
applications the MOSFETs drain-source breakdown may
be suf cient to protect the OUT pin, provided BVDSS +
VIN < 100V.
Parasitic inductance between the load bypass or the
second supply and the LTC4355 allows a zero impedance
input short to collapse the voltage at the OUT pin, which
increases the total turn-off time (tOFF). For applications
up to 30V, bypass the OUT pin with 39μF; above 30V use
at least 100μF. One capacitor serves to guard against OUT
collapse and also protect OUT from voltage spikes.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Loop Stability
The servo loop is compensated by the parasitic capaci-
tance of the power N-channel MOSFET. No further
compensation components are normally required. In
the case when a MOSFET with less than 1000pF gate
capacitance is chosen, a 1000pF compensation capacitor
connected across the gate and source pins might be
required.
Design Example
The following design example demonstrates the calculations
involved for selecting components in a 36V to 72V system
with 5A maximum load current (see Figure 2).
First, choose the N-channel MOSFET. The 100V, FDS3672
in the SO-8 package with RDS(ON) = 22mΩ(max) offers a
good solution. The maximum voltage drop across it is:
ΔV = 5A • 22mΩ = 110mV
The maximum power dissipation in the MOSFET is a mere:
P = 5A • 110mV = 0.55W
Next, select the resistive dividers that guarantee the
PWRFLT pins will not assert when the input supplies are
above 36V. The maximum VMONx(TH) is 1.245V and the
maximum IMONx(IN) is 1μA. Choose a 1% tolerance resistor
R1 = 12.7k. Then,
IR2 =VMONx(TH)
R1(MIN) +IMONx(TH)(MAX)
=1.245V
12.7kΩ(1%) +1μA=100μA
Use IR2 to choose R2.
R2 =36V 1.245V
100μA=348kΩ
A dju st R2 do wn by 1% to 3 44 k t o ac co un t fo r i t s to ler an ce.
The next lower standard resistor value is R2 = 340k.
The LED D1, a Panasonic Green LN1351C, requires at least
1mA of current to fully turn on. Therefore, R5 is set to 33k
to accommodate the lowest input supply voltage of 36V.

Layout Considerations
The following advice should be considered when laying
out a printed circuit board for the LTC4355.
The inputs to the servo amplifi ers, IN1, IN2, and OUT
should be connected as closely as possible to the
MOSFETs’ terminals for good accuracy.
Keep the traces to the MOSFETs wide and short. The PCB
traces associated with the power path through the MOS-
FETs should have low resistance (see Figure 3).
For the DFN package, pin spacing may be a concern at
voltages greater than 30V. Check creepage and clearance
guidelines to determine if this is an issue. Use no-clean
solder to minimize PCB contamination.
