Linear's ideal diode in a full wave bridge rectifier.
I was searching for a way to design a simple synchronous rectifier with N-ch mosfets, to avoid the voltage drop of a diode bridge. I found some interesting ideas, a little expensive though.
Now I found this "ideal diode" from Linear.

It is similar to the way a synchronous rectifier works, it has a circuit that controls a mosfet's gate.
It also seems like a simple way of making a synchronous rectifier!
But I also wonder why they don't mention that in the datasheet.
Would it be possible to use 4 of those ideal diodes as a bridge rectifier with low losses?
