However, unlike a diode, you won't suffer a 1V+ forward drop which just gets lost as heat. Instead, the internal chip has two back-to-back FETs, with a typical Rdson of 30 mΩ. That means that even with 5A, you'll lose around 150mV. This makes it perfect for efficiency-sensitive setups like solar panels and LiPoly batteries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike Adafruit's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/product\/5830\"\u003eLM62200 dual ideal diode\u003c\/a\u003e, this board acts as 'one' diode only - but it can handle much higher voltages and currents! There's also some added niceties like solder-free operation thanks to on-board terminal blocks, and a green LED that will light when power is going in the right direction. You can also monitor the current draw by reading the analog voltage off of IMON, handy if you don't want a separate power monitoring kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make it bread-board friendly, Adafruit placed it on a small PCB with 9 x 0.1\" breakout pads. A bit of header is included, some light soldering is required to attach the header for breadboarding use. Or you can use direct wiring to the terminal blocks if you want to insert it directly into a circuit without a breadboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ti.com\/product\/LM7310\/part-details\/LM73100RPWR\"\u003eLM73100 Product information page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide operating input voltage range: 2.7 V to 23 V\u003cbr\u003e28-V absolute maximum\u003cbr\u003eWithstands negative voltages up to -15 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated back-to-back FETs with low OnResistance: RON = 28.4 mΩ (typ)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal diode operation with true reverse current blocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast overvoltage protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.2-μs (typ) response time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-trip response to transient overcurrents during steady state\u003cbr\u003e500-ns (typ) response time\u003cbr\u003eLatch-off after fault\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog load current monitor output (IMON)\u003cbr\u003eCurrent range: 0.5 A to 5.5 A\u003cbr\u003eAccuracy: ±15% (max) (IOUT ≥ 1 A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOvertemperature protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Good indication (PG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Dimensions: 25.6mm x 17.6mm x 11.9mm \/ 1.0\" x 0.7\" x 0.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"80\" width=\"145\" alt=\"RoHS 2 2011 65 EU Compliant\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/includes\/templates\/shop2019\/images\/RoHS2_2011_65_EU.svg\"\u003e \u003cimg height=\"80\" width=\"145\" alt=\"RoHS 2 2015 863 EU Compliant\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/includes\/templates\/shop2019\/images\/RoHS2_2015_863_EU.svg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLearn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-lm73100-ideal-diode-breakout\"\u003ePrimary Guide: Adafruit LM73100 Ideal Diode Breakout\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for your power budget\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/products\/6359\/guides\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee All Guides\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55998317560187,"sku":"ADA6359","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/6359-04.jpg?v=1766580606","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-us\/products\/adafruit-lm73100-23v-5a-max-ideal-diode-breakout","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
