If a downstream circuit or fault event begins to draw excessive amounts of current, it is essential to limit that current quickly to avoid potential circuit damage or fire. This is another level of protection that can be integrated within a power mux.
TI provides power mux solutions with both overvoltage and overcurrent protection. For example, 2x TPS2660 or 2x TPS25947 are semi-integrated power MUX solutions and TPS212x is a fully-integrated power MUX which each offer this level of protection.
