12Amp Active ORing Solution With Load Disconnect
Description
Features
The Cool-ORing PI2122 is a complete full-function
Active ORing solution with a high-speed ORing
•
•
•
•
Integrated High Performance 12A, 6mΩ back-to-
back MOSFET
MOSFET controller and
a very low on-state
Very-small, high density fully-optimized solution
providing simple PCB layout.
Fast Dynamic Response, with 140ns reverse &
170ns forward over-current turn-off delay time
Accurate sensing capability to indicate system
fault conditions
Programmable under & over-voltage functions
Over temperature shutdown
Programmable over-current off time
Programmable short circuit load detection
Active low fault flag output
resistance Dual MOSFETs designed for use in
redundant power system architectures. The PI2122
Cool-ORing solution is offered in an extremely small,
thermally enhanced LGA package and can be used
in low voltage (≤ 5Vbus) high side Active ORing
applications. The PI2122 enables extremely low
power loss with fast dynamic response to fault
conditions, critical for high availability systems. The
PI2122 provide true bi-directional switch capabilities
to protect against both power source and load fault
conditions.

A load short circuit detection feature allows user
definition of a short condition enabling minimum duty
cycle into a short. The PI2122 has the added benefit
of being able to protect against output load fault
conditions that may induce excessive forward
current and device over-temperature by turning off
the back-to-back MOSFETs with an auto-retry
programmable off-time. The back-to-back MOSFETs
drain-to-drain voltage is monitored to detect normal
forward, excessive forward, light load and reverse
current flow. The status is reported via an active low
fault flag output. A temperature sensing function
turns off the MOSFETs and indicates a fault if the
controller junction temperature exceeds 145°C.
