LT8672
Active Rectifier Controller
with Reverse Protection
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®8672 is an active rectifier controller for reverse
input protection. It drives an external N-channel MOSFET
to replace a power Schottky diode. Its very low quiescent
currentandfasttransientresponsemeetthetoughrequire-
ments in automotive applications where AC input signals
of up to 100kHz are present. These signals are rectified
with minimum power dissipation on the external FET,
simplifying thermal management on the PCB.

With a drop of only 20mV, the LT8672 solution eases the
minimum input voltage requirement during cold crank
and start-stop, allowing simpler and more efficient cir-
cuits. If the input power source fails or is shorted, a fast
turn-offminimizesreversecurrenttransients.Anavailable
shutdown mode reduces the quiescent current to 3.5μA.

An integrated auxiliary boost regulator provides the re-
quired boost voltage to turn the external FET fully on. A
power good pin signals when the external FET is ready to
take load current.
