DESCRIPTION
The TPS2350 is a hot swap power manager optimized for replacing OR-ing diodes in redundant
power –48-V systems. The TPS2350 operates with
supply voltages from –12 V to –80 V, and withstands
spikes to –100 V.
The TPS2350 uses two power FETs as low voltage
drop diodes to efficiently select between two redundant power supplies. This minimizes system
power dissipation and also minimizes voltage drop
through the power management chain.
The TPS2350 also uses a third power FET to provide
load current slew rate control and peak current
limiting that is programmed by one resistor and one
capacitor. The device also provides a power good output to enable down-stream power converters and
a fault output to indicate load problems.
