LM74610 LM74670 Full bridge rectifier, redundant smart diode controllers?

LM74670 have 0.07mA gate drive so probably better than M74610 for sharing one controller to two mosfet.

But is there a problem of one controller being shared, they do cost $1.50 each and mosfets only cost 50cents.
And is not two diodes opposite each others always engaged at the same time?
Unless floating voltage vs gate voltage does not work on opposite sides?, like Vgs will be above max rating on the lowside mosfet?
top left lm74670 maybe should be in lower right?

  • Good thinking Tony on how to reduce system cost. Keep in mind the gate drive is with respect to the Anode pin which is connected to the source of the FETS. However the fets that share a gate drive in the above circuit does not have their sources connected together. So dont think it will work like you have it shown.
