Using a Current Sharing Controller with Non-Redundant Supplies

Bob Smith - Sr Module Design Engineer Nov 30th 2015
Design Note 1036: Introduction The LTC4370 is a 2-supply current sharing, diode- ORing controller that uses MOSFETs to form ideal diodes. In this way, the LTC4370 can actively balance the output currents of two supplies, even those with unequal output voltages. For two unequal voltage input supplies, the forward voltage ...
