Analog Devices LT4322 | Demoboard DC3117A

Beschreibung

Demonstration circuit 3117A features the floating, high voltage active rectifier controller LT4322, which is suitable for applications requiring high voltage line rectification with DC outputs up to 170V. While components were chosen to optimize performance at 60Hz, the LT4322 is capable of operating at up to 100kHz.The LT4322 drives an N-Channel MOSFET to perform half-wave rectification functionally like a diode but with much lower power dissipation. This topology eases thermal constraints and increases the usable output voltage. An N-Channel topology has multiple benefits over a P-Channel topology, including lower RDS(ON), a smaller footprint, lower cost, and a wider selection of MOSFETs.Only a few essential components are required to operate the LT4322 as a half-wave rectifier: a single N-Channel MOSFET (M1), a reservoir capacitor (C1B), an AC-smoothing capacitor (C2), a gate capacitor (CG1), and in applications where the peak-to-peak input voltage exceeds 60V, an N-Channel depletion mode MOSFET (M2).
