LT4322RMS8#PBF

LT4322 is a floating active rectifier controller that drives an external N-Channel MOSFET to replace a rectifier diode. It is designed primarily for AC applications and operates with input supply frequencies ranging from DC to 100KHz. On each cycle of the input AC waveform, an external N-Channel MOSFET gate is enhanced to provide the equivalent of a low diode forward voltage drop of 25mV. The resulting reduction in power dissipation eliminates thermal design problems and costly heat sinks, greatly reducing PC board area. The addition of a high-voltage depletion N-Channel MOSFET enables operation at very high output voltages, limited only by the voltage ratings of two external MOSFETs. Application includes single-phase, 3-phase, and 6-phase bridge rectifiers, automotive alternator bridge rectifiers, off-line active bridge rectifier, 3-phase aircraft power, high-voltage DC diode-OR with reverse blocking.
