1. Description
The PIP401 is an OR-ing Intelligent Switch (ORIS), a dedicated power OR-ing
device, that combines the simplicity of a diode with the efficiency of a MOSFET
switch.
The PIP401 will have optimum use in supply lines with up to 40 A loads. For higher
currents, two or more PIP401 devices can be used in parallel. The intended
application is parallel redundant power supply networks, where the PIP401 provides
a high-efficiency alternative to a rectifier diode. When the input voltage is greater than
the output voltage, the PIP401 conducts with very low voltage drop. When the input
voltage drops below the output voltage, the PIP401 switches off very quickly, blocking
the flow of reverse current. Remote sensing of the load voltage compensates for
inductance in the power supply lines. A thermal indicator is provided to allow power
supply shutdown or load reduction if the junction temperature exceeds 150 °C.

The open-collector overtemperature flag output (TFL) is fed back to the remote
shutdown input of the protected supply. In a parallel redundant system, there will be
at least one other protected supply feeding the system bus via another or-ing device.
7.1 Supply voltage
The PIP401 requires a supply voltage on VCC. The supply voltage must be at least
5 V greater than the voltage on VI in order to supply sufficient drive voltage for the
series power switch. The maximum rated supply voltage is 20 V.
7.2 Voltage drop monitoring
7.2.1 Comparator
The comparator monitors the voltage between the input (VI) and the remote sense
input (VRS). When the voltage on VI is greater than the voltage on VRS by more than
a few millivolts, the comparator output goes HIGH, turning on the series power switch.
When the voltage on VI is less than the voltage on VRS, the series power switch is
turned off, blocking the flow of reverse current between VO and VI.
7.2.2 Remote sense input
The remote sense input (VRS) provides a high impedance connection to the load,
bypassing the power supply line inductance. This connection enables the PIP401 to
respond immediately to voltage changes at the load, removing the effects of voltage
transients induced in the power supply line inductance due to changes in load
current.
(1) C1 allows operation for a short time after the auxiliary supply to VCC fails.
(2) D1 prevents reverse current flow from VO into the auxiliary supply in the event of failure
of the auxiliary supply.
(3) R1 prevents charging of the input voltage due to current flowing from VCC and out of VI.
(4) VRS should be connected to VO at the load point. Direct connection between VRS and
VO at the device pins should only be made if the distance between the PIP401 and the
load is very short, less than 25 mm.

7.3 Driver and series power switch
7.3.1 Soft turn-on
At switch on, the PIP401 turns on slowly to avoid current surges. These can cause
oscillations in the output voltage and may cause the protected power supply to shut
down. Typical turn-on time is 7 µs.
7.3.2 Low voltage drop
The on-state characteristic of the PIP401 is shown in Figure 5. In the on-state, the
PIP401 has very low voltage drop, typically 70 mV at 40 A, 25 °C. This produces a
power dissipation of 2.8 W. In comparison, a Schottky diode with a forward voltage
drop of 320 mV would have a power dissipation of 12.8 W.
7.3.3 Low current operation
At low current levels, the voltage drop is only a few millivolts. This makes it difficult for
the comparator to determine when to switch off. The PIP401 overcomes this problem
by backing off the gate drive to the series power switch at current levels below 2 A.
The effect is to increase the resistance between VI and VO so that the voltage drop is
maintained at a constant level of approximately 6 mV. This is above the minimum
detectable threshold voltage of the comparator. This is shown in Figure 5 by the
flattening of the curves at low current.
7.3.4 Fast turn-off with no reverse current
When the input voltage (VI) falls below the remote sense input voltage (VRS), the
PIP401 switches off very quickly, blocking the flow of reverse current. Figure 3 shows
switching waveforms from an initial forward current of 20 A. Note the smooth ramp
down of current from 20 A with no reverse current flow and minimum disruption of the
output voltage. Total turn-off time is less than 400 ns.
The gate drive circuit in the PIP401 is referenced to VI. When the input voltage is less
than the remote sense voltage, current flows into VCC and out of VI. The maximum
current is 35 mA. In order to prevent charging of the output capacitors of the
protected supply connected to VI, a 100 W resistor should be connected between VI
and GND. This is shown as R1 in Figure 2.

7.4 Overtemperature flag
In the event of failure of the supply to VCC, the series power switch turns off and the
forward voltage drop increases from a few millivolts to approximately 0.7 V. The
power dissipation in the PIP401 increases causing the junction temperature to rise. A
temperature detection circuit with an open-collector output is provided, that can be
used to generate a warning signal for the power supply. The temperature flag
operates at a typical junction temperature of 160 °C. A pull-up resistor of at least 1 k
is required between TFL and VCC.
The temperature flag is intended to operate under fault conditions. The PIP401
should not be run continuously at junction temperatures above 150 °C.

11. Application information
11.1 Parallel redundant operation
Figure 7 shows a typical parallel redundant power supply system. Two 5 V system
power supplies are connected via PIP401 devices to a shared load. An auxiliary
supply provides the PIP401 devices with 12 V. Power supplies with forced current
sharing capability are ideal for this application. The remote connection to each
PIP401 is taken from a point close to the load in order to compensate for the effects

of line inductance. The VRS connection may be connected directly to VO if the circuit
inductance is negligible. In general, this means that the distance between the PIP401
and the load must be less than 25 mm.
Assume that the 12 V supply to VCC is present but both 5 V supplies are off. In this
condition, with no voltage between input and output, both PIP401 devices will be off.
If one of the 5 V supplies is turned on, the comparator output in the associated
PIP401 will go HIGH, slowly turning on the series power switch (soft start). The series
power switch in the other PIP401 will remain off, preventing current from flowing from
output to input.
If both 5 V supplies are on, and the power supplies have forced current sharing
capability, then both PIP401 devices will be on.
If the power supplies do not have forced current sharing capability then the supply
with the highest output voltage will tend to supply all the load current. If the difference
in output voltage is greater than a few millivolts, then the PIP401 device connected to
the power supply with the highest output voltage will be on, and the PIP401 device
connected to the power supply with the lowest output voltage will be off.
Remote voltage sensing is not usually a feature of this topology of parallel redundant
operation. This is because the remote sense lines provide an alternative path for fault
currents when one of the power supplies fails. Therefore, in order to maintain good
load regulation, the PIP401 must have a low forward voltage drop under normal
operating conditions. The typical on-state voltage drop of the PIP401 is 70 mV at
40 A. Two or more PIP401 devices may be connected in parallel in order to reduce
this further.
11.2 Fault condition
With reference to Figure 7, assume that both 5 V power supplies are supplying
current to the load. Assume that one of the supplies fails and its output voltage
collapses to zero. The voltage on the output terminal of the PIP401 drops from 5 V to
zero and goes slightly negative as the voltage across the line inductance reverses in
order to maintain current flow.
At the instant that the power supply fails, the PIP401 detects that the voltage on VI is
less than the voltage on the remote sense connection VRS. The drive voltage to the
series power switch is immediately turned off, but the series power switch takes up to
a further 300 ns to switch off completely. During this delay time, the current
decreases from its initial value to zero at a rate determined by the bus voltage and the
line inductance.
If the PIP401 turns off completely before the current reaches zero, then there is no
reverse current flow. On the other hand, if the rate of fall of current is very high,
current will flow from VO to VI until the PIP401 turns off completely. The peak reverse
fault current depends on the magnitude of the line inductance and the initial load
current.

11.3 Overtemperature detection
Figure 8 shows how the thermal flag output of the PIP401 is used to shut down a
power supply in the event of overtemperature. In this circuit, there are pull-up
resistors from TFL to both the 5 V and 12 V supplies.
11.3.1 On-state
The overtemperature flag can be used to detect excessive load current. The
overtemperature flag will operate when the power dissipation due to load current is
sufficient to raise the junction temperature to approximately 160 °C. The typical
on-state voltage of the PIP401 at 25 °C is 70 mV. To calculate the on-state voltage at
160 °C, the 25 °C value is multiplied by the normalized on-state voltage factor given
in Figure 6. This factor is 1.6 giving an on-state voltage at 160 °C of 112 mV. Using a
thermal resistance from junction to ambient of 15 K/W and an ambient temperature of
55 °C, the overtemperature flag will operate when the current exceeds:
(1)
One possible use of the overtemperature flag is to detect failure of the cooling fan, in
applications where forced air cooling is used.
If the thermal resistance from junction to ambient is higher, then the temperature flag
will operate at a lower value of output current.
11.3.2 Off-state
If the 12 V supply to VCC fails as a result of a fault in the auxiliary supply, this will
cause the PIP401 to turn off, and the voltage drop to increase from a few millivolts to
approximately 0.7 V. The increased dissipation in the PIP401 will cause its junction
temperature to rise. Taking a junction to ambient thermal resistance of 15 K/W and an
ambient temperature of 55 °C, the overtemperature flag will operate when the
dissipation in the PIP401 is greater than:
