Title: Two way circuit breaking capability for ideal diode controllers
Post by: kellogs on August 08, 2023, 08:51:54 pm
Thie LM5069 (https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/lm5069) IC - its datasheet does not mention a second anti-series MOSFET at all. Among the dozen features or so supported by LM5069 there is also "Circuit breaker function for severe overcurrent events". Could I add in a second mosfet, placed back-to-back with the mosfet in their example diagrams, controlled by the same GATE pin, and get the circuit breaking feature - this time in both ways ? Would other features fail / be impacted if I did that ?
