A TMOS power FET , Q1 , and LM393 comparator provide a high efficiency rectifier circuit. When Va exceeds Vb1 U1's output becomes high and Q1 conducts. Conversely, when Vb exceeds Va1, the comparator output becomes low and Q1 does not conduct.The Forward drop is determined by Q1's on resistance and current I. The MTH40N05 has an ON resistance of 0.028 Ω ; for I = 10 A , the forward drop is less than 0.3V .Typically , the best Schottky diodes do not even begin conducting below a few hundred mV.
