The LM5050MK-1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, high-voltage OR-ing diode controller that is designed to offer a superior alternative to traditional discrete diode solutions.

• Applications: Server power supplies, telecom power supplies, and automotive systems.
• Operation: Controls an external N-Channel MOSFET to emulate the function of a diode.
• Voltage Drop: Offers a lower forward voltage drop compared to a standard diode.
• Input Voltage Range: Wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 75V.
• Gate Drive Clamp: Protects the external MOSFET from over-voltage conditions.
• Fault Detection: Includes a fault detection output signal.
• Packaging: Compact, surface-mount package.
