MAX16141/MAX16141A Ideal Diode Controllers Analog Devices MAX16141/MAX16141A Ideal Diode Controllers protect against various system faults, such as reverse voltage, reverse current, input overvoltage/undervoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature conditions. A wide operating voltage range of 3.5V to 36V, combined with 5μA (typ.) of shutdown current, makes the MAX16141/MAX16141A ideal for automotive applications. The power loss between the source and the load is minimized by an integrated charge pump that drives the gate of the back-to-back external nFETs 9V (typ.) above the source connection.
