ABSTRACT:
An overcharging of a back-up battery through a protection diode of a first power regulating FET is prevented by adding a second power regulating FET that is equivalent to the first FET and the second FET has its source and drain connections reversed. By connecting and operating the second FET in a reverse direction from the first FET, the forward current direction of the protection diode of the second FET is opposite to the forward current direction of the protection diode of the first FET. Thus, the power regulator will always have one of the protection diodes reverse biased, thereby preventing reverse overcharging through the diodes. A power regulator using two such power FETs in series to prevent reverse overcharge current has a lower ON impedance than only one power FET that is in series with a blocking diode, and thereby provides more usable voltage and current for back-up situations.
