The XL0401 ideal diode module uses a dedicated chip to simulate an ideal diode rectifier.
The module adopts a 5.5m Ω low internal resistance MOS, which reduces the voltage drop during high current operation, avoiding the high voltage drop of 0.7V in ordinary diodes. The reduction in voltage drop also greatly reduces heating.
When a 0.3V Schottky diode operates at a 10A current, its heating power consumption is 3W (actually much higher). In actual testing, the XL0401 ideal diode operates at a 10A current, with a voltage drop of about 100mV and a heating power consumption of about 1W.
Working voltage: 3V~26V, module size: 15 X 12.8 X 3 4mm,Positioning method: welding fixation
Working current: 12V 25 ° C without heat dissipation measures ≤ 10A (10A long run test for 30 minutes), 12V 25 ° C heat sink+air cooling ≤ 15A (15A long run test for 30 minutes). Theoretically, better heat dissipation can be achieved with higher current, but limited heat dissipation conditions above 15A have not been tested for long run
Description
Matters needing attention
1. The module must be used together with the ground, and the input terminals must not be reversed without reverse protection.
2. When the module operates with high current, it is necessary to pay attention to heat dissipation. It has been tested for 10A without heat dissipation measures (12V 25 ° C), but due to the small size of the module, it is still in a relatively hot state.
3. The module cannot replace the freewheeling diode in a switching power supply, but it can be used to prevent backflow at the output end.
4. When working at a low voltage of around 3V, the internal resistance of the module will be too high, so the current that can be passed will be less than the test value at 12V
5. The measured minimum voltage drop of the module is about 53mv, and it will not drop to 0 due to low current.
