Low Loss 3-Phase Ideal Diode Bridge Rectifier Reduces Heat, Easing Thermal Design
2016-05-10 | Returna low loss 3-phase ideal diode bridge rectifier reference design, demonstrated on evaluation
board DC2465. Conventional 3-phase rectifiers employ six diodes, but the diodes drop voltage
and dissipate significant power at just a few amperes of load current. This requires costly heat
sinking and active cooling solutions that complicate thermal design and increase solution size.
The DC2465 design replaces the six diodes with three LT4320 ideal diode bridge controllers,
driving six low loss N-channel MOSFETs, dramatically reducing power and voltage losses. This
enables the overall system to be specified to operate with a smaller, more cost-effective power
supply due to the enhanced power efficiency. Low voltage applications benefit from the extra
margin afforded by saving the two diode drops inherent in diode bridges. Compared to traditional
approaches, the MOSFET bridge enables a rectifier design that is highly space- and powerefficient.
The DC2465 board rectifies line-to-line AC voltages from 9VRMS to 48VRMS with
frequencies up to 400Hz while sourcing a load of up to 25A without forced airflow. Efficiency at
9V input is raised from 84% for a diode bridge to 97% for the active bridge.
The DC2465 evaluation board is available, priced at $125.00 each. The LT4320 ideal
diode bridge controller IC is offered in 8-pin MSOP, PDIP, and 3mm x 3mm DFN packages.
Evaluation circuit boards are available online or from your local Linear Technology sales office.
