SLVSFQ6A November 2020 – June 2021 TPS2640
PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 10-15 shows a typical redundant power supply configuration of the system. Schottky ORing diodes have been popular for connecting parallel power supplies, such as parallel operation of wall adapter with a battery or a hold-up storage capacitor. The disadvantage of using ORing diodes is high voltage drop and associated power loss. The TPS26400 with integrated, N-channel back to back FETs provide a simple and efficient solution.
A fast reverse comparator controls the internal FET and it is turned ON or OFF with hysteresis as shown in Figure 10-16. The internal FET is turned off within 1.5 μs (typical) as soon as V(IN) – V(OUT) falls below –110 mV. It turns on within 40 μs (typical) once the differential forward voltage V(IN) – V(OUT) exceeds 100 mV. Figure 10-17 and Figure 10-18 show typical switch-over waveforms of Active ORing implementation using the TPS26400.

All control pins of the un-powered TPS26400 device in the Active ORing configuration will measure approximately 0.7 V drop with respect to GND. The system micro-controller should ignore IMON and FLT pin voltage measurements of this device when these signals are being monitored.
