The TPS2474x is an integrated ORing and Hot Swap controller for 2.5 V to 18 V systems. It's precise and programmable protection settings aid in the design of high power, high availability systems where isolating faults is critical.
Programmable current limit, fast shut down, and fault timer protect the load and supply during fault conditions such as a hot - short. The fast shutdown threshold and response time can be tuned to ensure a fast response to real faults, while avoiding nuisance trips. Programmable SOA (Safe Operating Area) protection and the inrush timer keep the MOSFET safe under all operating conditions. After asserting a power good, TPS2474x runs the fault timer during over-current events, but doesn't current limit. It shuts down after the fault timer expires. Two independent timers (inrush/fault) allow the user to customize protection based on system requirements. The ORing function of the TPS2474x allows the user to program the reverse voltage threshold and response time to aid in the design of redundant power supply systems.

NAME | NO. | ||
A | 23 | I/P | Voltage sense input that connects to the OR MOSFET's body diode's anode. Connect to the OR MOSFET source in the typical configuration. A pin is used to supply power to the ORing block of the TPS2474x under certain biasing conditions. |
BGATE | 22 | O | Connect to the gate of the external OR MOSFET. Controls the OR MOSFET to emulate a low forward-voltage diode. |
C | 20 | I/P | Voltage sense input that connects to the OR MOSFET's body diode's cathode. Connect to the OR MOSFET drain in the typical configuration. C pin is used to supply power to the ORing block of the TPS2474x under certain biasing conditions. |
CP | 1 | I/O | Connect a storage capacitor from CP to A for fast turn-on of blocking Gate. |
ENHS | 2 | I | Active-high enable input of Hot-swap. Logic input. Connects to resistor divider. |
