Linear Technology Corporation (Milpitas, CA) has announced the automotive (H-grade) and high reliability military (MP-grade) versions of the LT4320, a diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems. The LT4320 replaces a full-wave diode bridge rectifier with a low loss N-channel MOSFET bridge to reduce the power and voltage losses by a factor of ten or more. Features include:
- A 9 to 72V, DC to 600 Hz Operation.
- The ability to control 4 N-Channel MOSFETs.
- A 1.5 mA quiescent current.
- A -40° to +125°C guaranteed junction temperature range (H-Grade).
- A -55° to +125°C guaranteed junction temperature range (MP-Grade).
- An 8-Pin DFN (3 x 3 mm), 8-Lead PDIP, and 12-Lead MSOP packages.
