PRODUCTION DATA
The reverse current blocking feature of the TPS22953-Q1 makes it suitable for power multiplexing (MUXing) between two power supplies with different voltages. The SNS and PG pin can be configured to implement make-before-break logic. The circuit in Figure 10-5 shows how the detection of Load Switch 1 turning on can be used to disable the load switch for power supply 2. By tying SNS to the Load, the PG is pulled up when the output voltage starts to rise. This event disables an active low load switch such as the TPS22910A.
The make-before-break logic ensures that power supply 2 is not disconnected until power supply 1 is connected. Unlike break-before-make logic, this approach is ideal for preventing voltage dip on the output when switching between supplies. However, in most cases, this approach also results in temporary reverse current flow.
The TPS22910A is well suited for this application because it can detect and block reverse current even before it is disabled by the TPS22953-Q1 PG signal. Also, the active low enable of the TPS22910A eliminates the need for an inverter as shown in the previous example.
To ensure correct logic, the SNS pin must be configured to toggle PG when the load voltage is between the two supply voltages (3.6 V to 4.5 V). The SNS resistor values in Figure 10-5 are assuming a tolerance of ±1% or better.
Table 10-2 summarizes the logic of the PG Signal for Figure 10-5.
