IR5001 IRF [International Rectifier], IR5001 Datasheet - Page 11

• Manufacturer Part Number: IR5001
• Description: UNIVERSAL ACTIVE ORING CONTROLLER
• Manufacturer: IRF [International Rectifier]

Rds(on) of the Active ORing FET should generate
between 50mV to 100mV of (INP – INN) voltage
during normal, steady state operation. (The normal
operation refers to current flowing from the source to
drain of the Active ORing FET, half of the full-load
system current flowing through each OR-ed source,
at nominal input voltage).
dissipation under worst-case conditions for the FET
should be calculated and verified against the data
sheet limits of the selected device.
IR5001 Thermal considerations
Maximum junction temperature of the IR5001 in an
application
operating junction temperature, specified at 125°C:
Tj = Pdiss * Rtheta j-a + Tamb <= Tj (max),
where Rtheta j-a is the thermal resistance from
junction to ambient thermal resistance (specified at
128 °C/W), Pdiss is IC power dissipation, and Tamb
is operating ambient temperature.
The maximum power dissipation can be estimated
as follows:
In a well - designed Active ORing circuit, the

Pdiss < (Tj max – Tamb max) / Rtheta j-a
Since Tj max= 125 °C, Tamb = 85 °C, and Rtheta j-a
= 128 °C/W, the maximum power dissipation allowed
is:
Pdiss max = (125 – 85) / 128 = 0.3W
With proper selection of Icc (as discussed in the
Detailed Pin Description), the maximum power
dissipation will never be exceeded (Max Icc * Max
Vcc = 10mA * 13.9V = 0.14W).
Layout Considerations
the drain and source terminal of the Active ORing
FET. PCB trace between the Vout pin and the gate
of the N-FET should also be minimized. A minimum
of 0.1uF decoupling capacitor must be connected
from Vcc to Gnd of the IR5001and should be placed
as close to the IR5001 as possible. Ground should
be connected to the source of N-FET separately
from the INP pin.
INN and INP should be connected very close to
IR5001
