schema as simple as possible

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTC4359

Hello,
I´m having a space issue in my project and need to made schema simple as possible.

I have same connection as on page 14 (48V Ideal Diode without Reverse Input Protection). What is function D6 and D4, can be omited?

(https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/ltc4359.pdf)

  • A common test for ideal diodes is input short: imagine the 48V input suddenly dropping to 0V

    D4 clamps the Vgs of Q1 to 12V to protect the FET's gate oxide.
    D6 clamps the Vds of Q1 to prevent the FET from avalanching from inductive kick.

    I'd keep them.
