Control External FET for N+1 and ORing
Wide Supply Voltage Range of 3 V to 16.5 V
Controls Buses From 0.8 V to 16.5 V
The TPS2412/13 controller, in conjunction with an
external N-channel MOSFET, emulates the function
of a low forward voltage diode. The TPS2412/13 can
be used to combine multiple power supplies to a
common bus in an N+1 configuration, or to combine
redundant input power buses. The TPS2412
provides a linear turn-on control while the TPS2413
has an on/off control method.
Linear or On/Off Control Method
Internal Charge Pump for N-Channel MOSFET
Rapid Device Turnoff Protects Bus Integrity
Positive Gate Control on Hot Insertion
Soft Turn on Reduces Bus Transients
Industrial Temperature Range: –40°C to 85°C
Industry-Standard 8-pin TSSOP Package
Applications for the TPS2412/13 include a wide
range of systems including servers and telecom.
These applications often have either N+1 redundant
power supplies, redundant power buses, or both.
Redundant power sources must have the equivalent
of a diode OR to prevent reverse current during
faults and hotplug. A TPS2412/13 and N-channel
MOSFET provide this function with less power loss
than a schottky diode.
