Hi all,
I was wondering if LTC4353, that seems to be the doubled version of LTC4352, accept back-to-back connection for the external mosfet.
Is it possible?
The datasheet do not mention this possibility, but this is available in the little brother LTC4352.
Thank you for your help
Best regards

Adding my query to the same chain as the topic is the same.
I tried the LTSpice model for the LTC4353 for the back to back MOSFET (n-channel) implementation. Both configurations work perfectly.
But, I'm not clear as to how the gate drive is achieved wrt a floating source in either case.
For example, when in CD mode, right side mosfet has a floating source pin.
when in CS mode, the left and right side mosfet source pin is floating.
a. I also dont see any mechanism by which this pin is sensed.
b. Even when the Vout pin is disconnected, the devices get turned ON.
c. Even when the load itself is connected (assuming this is the path through which the source sees a reference in CD mode), the devices get turned ON.
Kindly explain the turn-ON mechanism here.
