Texas Instruments TPS2474x High-Performance Hot Swap & ORing Controller is an integrated ORing and Hot Swap controller for 2.5V to 18V systems. The precise and programmable protection settings for this device aid in the design of high power, high availability systems where isolating faults is critical. Programmable current limit, fast shutdown, 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. Two independent timers (inrush/fault) allow the user to customize protection based on system requirements. Typical applications for these devices include enterprise storage, power muxing, redundant power supplies, and battery back-up.
