The LTC®4359 is a positive high voltage, ideal diode
controller that drives an external N-channel MOSFET to
replace a Schottky diode. It controls the forward-voltage
drop across the MOSFET to ensure smooth current delivery
without oscillation even at light loads. If a power source
fails or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse current transients. A shutdown mode is available to reduce
the quiescent current to 9μA for load switch and 14µA for
ideal diode applications.

Pin Functions
Exposed Pad (DCB Package Only): Exposed pad may be
left open or connected to VSS.
GATE: Gate Drive Output. The GATE pin pulls high, enhancing the N-channel MOSFET when the load current creates
more than 30mV of voltage drop across the MOSFET.
When the load current is small, the gate is actively driven
to maintain 30mV across the MOSFET. If reverse current
flows, a fast pull-down circuit connects the GATE to the
SOURCE pin within 0.3μs, turning off the MOSFET.
IN: Voltage Sense and Supply Voltage. IN is the anode of
the ideal diode. The voltage sensed at this pin is used to
control the MOSFET gate.
NC (MS Package Only): No Connection. Not internally
connected.
OUT: Drain Voltage Sense. OUT is the cathode of the ideal
diode and the common output when multiple LTC4359s
are configured as an ideal diode-OR. It connects either directly or through a 2k resistor to the drain of the N-channel
MOSFET. The voltage sensed at this pin is used to control
the MOSFET gate.
SHDN: Shutdown Control Input. The LTC4359 can be
shut down to a low current mode by pulling the SHDN
pin below 0.6V. Pulling this pin above 2V or disconnecting it allows an internal 2.6μA current source to turn the
part on. Maintain board leakage to less than 100nA for
proper operation. The SHDN pin can be pulled up to 100V
or down to – 40V with respect to VSS without damage. If
the shutdown feature is not used, connect SHDN to IN.
SOURCE: Source Connection. SOURCE is the return path
of the gate fast pull-down. Connect this pin as close as
possible to the source of the external N-channel MOSFET.
VSS: Supply Voltage Return and Device Ground.

LTC4359
Operation
The LTC4359 controls an external N-channel MOSFET to
form an ideal diode. The GATE amplifier (see Block Diagram) senses across IN and OUT and drives the gate of the
MOSFET to regulate the forward voltage to 30mV. As the
load current increases, GATE is driven higher until a point
is reached where the MOSFET is fully on. Further increases
in load current result in a forward drop of RDS(ON)• ILOAD.
If the load current is reduced, the GATE amplifier drives
the MOSFET gate lower to maintain a 30mV drop. If the
input voltage is reduced to a point where a forward drop
of 30mV cannot be supported, the GATE amplifier drives
the MOSFET off.
In the event of a rapid drop in input voltage, such as an
input short-circuit fault or negative-going voltage spike,
reverse current temporarily flows through the MOSFET.
This current is provided by any load capacitance and by
other supplies or batteries that feed the output in diodeOR applications.
The FPD COMP (Fast Pull-Down Comparator) quickly
responds to this condition by turning the MOSFET off in
300ns, thus minimizing the disturbance to the output bus.
The IN, SOURCE, GATE and SHDN pins are protected
against reverse inputs of up to –40V. The NEGATIVE COMP
detects negative input potentials at the SOURCE pin and
quickly pulls GATE to SOURCE, turning off the MOSFET
and isolating the load from the negative input.
When pulled low the SHDN pin turns off most of the
internal circuitry, reducing the quiescent current to 9µA
and holding the MOSFET off. The SHDN pin may be either
driven high or left open to enable the LTC4359. If left
open, an internal 2.6µA current source pulls SHDN high.
In applications where Q1 is replaced with back-to-back
MOSFETs, the SHDN pin serves as an on/off control for
the forward path, as well as enabling the diode function.
Applications Information
Blocking diodes are commonly placed in series with supply
inputs for the purpose of ORing redundant power sources
and protecting against supply reversal. The LTC4359
replaces diodes in these applications with a MOSFET to
reduce both the voltage drop and power loss associated
with a passive solution. The curve shown on page 1 illustrates the dramatic improvement in power loss achieved in
a practical application. This represents significant savings
in board area by greatly reducing power dissipation in the
pass device. At low input voltages, the improvement in
forward voltage loss is readily appreciated where headroom is tight, as shown in Figure 2.
The LTC4359 operates from 4V to 80V and withstands
an absolute maximum range of –40V to 100V without
damage. In automotive applications the LTC4359 operates
through load dump, cold crank and two-battery jumps,
and it survives reverse battery connections while also
protecting the load.
A 12V/20A ideal diode application is shown in Figure 1.
Several external components are included in addition to
the MOSFET, Q1. Ideal diodes, like their nonideal coun-
terparts, exhibit a behavior known as reverse recovery.
In combination with parasitic or intentionally introduced
inductances, reverse recovery spikes may be generated by
an ideal diode during commutation. D1, D2 and R1 protect
against these spikes which might otherwise exceed the
LTC4359’s –40V to 100V survival rating. COUT also plays
a role in absorbing reverse recovery energy. Spikes and
protection schemes are discussed in detail in the Input
Short-Circuit Faults section.

Applications Information
The MOSFET’s on-resistance, RDS(ON), directly affects
the forward voltage drop and power dissipation. Desired
forward voltage drop should be less than that of a diode
for reduced power dissipation; 100mV is a good starting
point. Choose a MOSFET which has:

Figure 2. Forward Voltage Drop Comparison
Between MOSFET and Schottky Diode
It is important to note that the SHDN pin, while disabling
the LTC4359 and reducing its current consumption to
9µA, does not disconnect the load from the input since
Q1’s body diode is ever-present. A second MOSFET is
required for load switching applications.
MOSFET Selection
All load current passes through an external MOSFET,
Q1. The important characteristics of the MOSFET are onresistance, RDS(ON), the maximum drain-source voltage,
BVDSS, and the gate threshold voltage VGS(TH).
Gate drive is compatible with 4.5V logic-level MOSFETs
over the entire operating range of 4V to 80V. In applications
above 8V, standard 10V threshold MOSFETs may be used.
An internal clamp limits the gate drive to 15V maximum
between the GATE and SOURCE pins. For 24V and higher
applications, an external Zener clamp (D4) must be added
between GATE and SOURCE to not exceed the MOSFET’s
VGS(MAX) during input shorts.
The maximum allowable drain-source voltage, BVDSS, must
be higher than the power supply voltage. If the input is
grounded, the full supply voltage will appear across the
MOSFET. If the input is reversed, and the output is held
up by a charged capacitor, battery or power supply, the
sum of the input and output voltages will appear across
the MOSFET and BVDSS > OUT + |VIN |.
Pd = (ILOAD)2 • RDS(ON)
Shutdown Mode
In shutdown, the LTC4359 pulls GATE low to SOURCE,
turning off the MOSFET and reducing its current consumption to 9µA. Shutdown does not interrupt forward current
flow, a path is still present through Q1’s body diode, as
shown in Figure 1. A second MOSFET is needed to block
the forward path; see the section Load Switching and
Inrush Control. When enabled the LTC4359 operates as
an ideal diode. If shutdown is not needed, connect SHDN
to IN. SHDN may be driven with a 3.3V or 5V logic signal, or with an open drain or collector. To assert SHDN
low, the pull down must sink at least 5µA at 500mV. To
enable the part, SHDN must be pulled up to at least 2V.
If SHDN is driven with an open drain, open collector or
switch contact, an internal pull-up current of 2.6µA (1µA
minimum) asserts SHDN high and enables the LTC4359.
If leakage from SHDN to ground cannot be maintained at
less than 100nA, add a pull-up resistor to >2V to assure
turn on. The self-driven open circuit voltage is limited
internally to 2.5V. When floating, the impedance is high
and SHDN is subject to capacitive coupling from nearby
clock lines or traces exhibiting high dV/dt. Bypass SHDN
to VSS with 10nF to eliminate injection. Figure 3a is the
simplest way to control the shutdown pin. Since the control
signal ground is different from the SHDN pin reference,
VSS, there could be momentary glitches on SHDN during
transients. Figures 3b and 3c are alternative solutions
that level-shift the control signal and eliminate glitches.

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 parasitic
resistances and inductances. During the reverse recovery
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
series with the input and output paths may cause potentially destructive transients to appear at the IN, SOURCE
and OUT pins of the LTC4359 during reverse recovery.
A zero impedance short-circuit directly across the input
and ground is especially troublesome because it permits
the highest possible reverse current to build up during
the delay phase. When the MOSFET finally interrupts the
reverse current, the LTC4359 IN and SOURCE pins experience a negative voltage spike, while the OUT pin spikes in
the positive direction.
To prevent damage to the LTC4359 under conditions
of input short-circuit, protect the IN, SOURCE and OUT
pins as shown in Figure 4 . The IN and SOURCE pins are
protected by clamping to the VSS pin with two TransZorbs
or TVS. For input voltages 24V and greater, D4 is needed
to protect the MOSFET’s gate oxide during input shortcircuit conditions. Negative spikes, seen after the MOSFET
turns off during an input short, are clamped by D2, a 24V
TVS. D2 allows reverse inputs to 24V while keeping the
MOSFET off and is not required if reverse-input protection

the positive direction during load steps and overvoltage
conditions. OUT can be protected by an output capacitor,
COUT of at least 1.5µF, a TVS across the MOSFET or by
the MOSFET’s avalanche breakdown. Care must be taken
if the MOSFET’s avalanche breakdown is used to protect
the OUT pin. The MOSFET’s BVDSS must be sufficiently
lower than 100V, and the MOSFET’s avalanche energy rating must be ample enough to absorb the inductive energy.
If a TVS across the MOSFET or the MOSFET avalanche
is used to protect the OUT pin, COUT can be reduced to
47nF. COUT and R1 preserve the fast turn off time when
output parasitic inductance causes the IN and OUT voltages to drop quickly.
Paralleling Supplies
Multiple LTC4359s can be used to combine the outputs of
two or more supplies for redundancy or for droop sharing,
as shown in Figure 5. For redundant supplies, the supply
with the highest output voltage sources most or all of the
load current. If this supply’s output is quickly shorted to
ground while delivering load current, the flow of current
temporarily reverses and flows backwards through the
LTC4359’s MOSFET. The LTC4359 senses this reverse

Droop sharing can be accomplished if both power supply
output voltages and output impedances are nearly equal.
The 30mV regulation technique ensures smooth load
sharing between outputs without oscillation. The degree
of sharing is a function of MOSFET RDS(ON), the output
impedance of the supplies and their initial output voltages.
Load Switching and Inrush Control
By adding a second MOSFET as shown in Figure 6, the
LTC4359 can be used to control power flow in the forward direction while retaining ideal diode behavior in the
reverse direction. The body diodes of Q1 and Q2 prohibit

If the other, initially lower, supply was not delivering any
load current at the time of the fault, the output falls until
the body diode of its ORing MOSFET conducts. Meanwhile,
the LTC4359 charges the MOSFET gate with 10µA until
the forward drop is reduced to 30mV. If this supply was
sharing load current at the time of the fault, its associated
ORing MOSFET was already driven partially on. In this case,
the LTC4359 will simply drive the MOSFET gate harder in
an effort to maintain a drop of 30mV.

If VIN <VOUT + 30mV, the LTC4359 will be activated but
holds Q1 and Q2 off until the input exceeds the output by

Layout Considerations
Connect the IN, SOURCE and OUT pins as close as possible
to the MOSFET source and drain pins. Keep the traces to
the MOSFET wide and short to minimize resistive losses as
shown in Figure 7. Place surge suppressors and necessary
transient protection components close to the LTC4359
using short lead lengths.
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. To increase the
effective pin spacing between high voltage and ground pins,
leave the exposed pad connection open. Use no-clean flux
to minimize PCB contamination.
Figures 8 through 18 show typical applications of the
LTC4359.
