{"title":"Adafruit LM73100 23V 5A Ideal Diode Breakout","handle":"adafruit-lm73100-23v-5a-max-ideal-diode-breakout","url":"/products/adafruit-lm73100-23v-5a-max-ideal-diode-breakout","description":"This breakout lets you add an ideal diode to a higher-current DC power path without the usual forward voltage drop of a standard diode. It is designed for 3~23V DC supplies and up to 5A, using the LM73100's back-to-back FETs to keep current flowing in one direction while wasting far less power as heat. That makes it a handy choice for efficiency-sensitive setups such as solar inputs and LiPoly battery power paths.Adafruit has made the board easy to wire into a project, with on-board terminal blocks for solder-free inline connections and a green LED that lights when power is flowing in the correct direction. There is also an IMON output, so you can read an analogue voltage to monitor load current without adding a separate power monitoring board.For prototyping, the PCB includes 9 x 0.1\" breakout pads and a strip of header is included. A little soldering is needed if you want to use it on a breadboard, or you can skip the header and wire directly to the terminal blocks for a more permanent installation.Specifications:Operating input voltage range: 2.7 V to 23 VAbsolute maximum voltage: 28-V absolute maximumNegative voltage tolerance: Withstands negative voltages up to -15 VOn-resistance: RON = 28.4 mΩ (typ)Ideal diode operation: with true reverse current blockingOvervoltage protection: Fast overvoltage protectionResponse time: 1.2-μs (typ) response timeTransient overcurrent response: Fast-trip response to transient overcurrents during steady stateResponse time: 500-ns (typ) response timeFault behaviour: Latch-off after faultCurrent monitor output: Analog load current monitor output (IMON)Current range: 0.5 A to 5.5 AAccuracy: ±15% (max) (IOUT ≥ 1 A)Overtemperature protection: Overtemperature protectionPower Good indication: Power Good indication (PG)Maximum current: 5AProduct dimensions: 25.6mm x 17.6mm x 11.9mm / 1.0\" x 0.7\" x 0.5\"A good fit for low-loss power routing, battery systems and solar projects where an ordinary diode would waste too much voltage.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"Ideal Diode Breakout Board","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15545,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-6359","mpn":"ADA6359","price":11.82,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100}]}
