LM74720-Q1: LM74720-Q1 used in redundant battery power supply power supply

Part Number: LM74720-Q1

Hello,

 I ‘m planning to use ideal diode controller (LM74720Q) +mosfet to replace :

  • D1 and D2 in the following schematic. The objective is charge the two batteries in (false)“parallel”.
  • - D3 and D4 are used to make a redundant power supply. The system will be powered by battery 1 or 2 depending on their state of charge. D3 and D4 are used to do a redundant power supply. The will system will be power by battery 1 or 2 depending of its state of charge.  

 

Is it possible to use LM74720Q to manage this 2 functions?

Will we have problems when the battery voltage drops very quickly?

Best Regards.

Sylvain

    Hi Sylvain,

    Th key feature required in the functions is only Reverse current blocking.

    1. D1 and D2 are required to block circulating currents between Battery 1 and Battery 2
    2. D3 and D4 are used to achieve ORing between  Battery 1 and Battery 2 to load

    So, yes LM74720-Q1 can be used in both the functions replacing D1, D2, D3 and D4
