ISL6144
High Voltage ORing MOSFET Controller
The ISL6144 ORing MOSFET Controller and a suitably sized N-Channel power MOSFET(s) increases power distribution efficiency and availability when replacing a power ORing diode in high current applications.
In a multiple supply, fault tolerant, redundant power distribution system, paralleled similar power supplies contribute equally to the load current through various power sharing schemes. Regardless of the scheme, a common design practice is to include discrete ORing power diodes to protect against reverse current flow should one of the power supplies develop a catastrophic output short to ground.
