Separate control must also be added to ensure VIN > OUT by more than 0.21V indicating a probable that a supply that is out of range is not allowed to affect nonfunctioning MOSFET.

When the input source The gate drive consists of a high current, wide bandwidth voltage drops below the output common supply voltage it amplifier (driver). When the amplifier is enabled, it attempts turns off the MOSFET, thereby matching the function and to regulate the GATE voltage such that the voltage across performance of an ideal diode. the MOSFET(s) is approximately 15mV. If the MOSFET(s) on resistance is so high as to prevent regulation, then The LT4351 drives either a single MOSFET or dual back- GATE goes to compliance and the MOSFET(s) fully turns to-back MOSFETs. Dual MOSFETs are chosen to eliminate on. The inputs to the amplifier are VIN and OUT.

To help deal with the transients on the supply lines, the UV The gate drive amplifier and STATUS function derive power input has current hysteresis. When the UV voltage drops from V below the 300mV threshold, a 10µA current is pulled from DD. The circuit requires VDD > 2.5V.
