Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS25947
Tool/software:
Hello -
I am considering using the TPS2116 as a power MUX in the following application. We have a device that can be powered in three ways (decided by the installer)
Method 1: DC hardwired from a 5V LDO (no battery). With this method, VIN1 = 5V, VIN2 is floating
Method 2: CR123A battery only (no hardwired power) With this method, VIN1 is floating, VIN2 = 2-3.3V
Method 3: DC hardwired from 5V LDO with CR123A battery for backup. With this method, VIN = 5V, VIN2 = 2-3.3V
For the first two methods, I'm pretty confident this is fine, and the leakage current for method 2 is acceptable.
I am concerned about reverse current blockage for Method 3, the battery is non rechargeable and the current flowing from VIN1 into the battery must be kept well below 1uA.
I see the reverse leakage spec table, but it is specified for VOUT = 5.5V, VIN1 = 0V, VIN2 = Open. Which is different from our case of VOUT = 5V, Vin1 = 5V, Vin2 = 2 to 3.3V
My questions are:
#1) How does the reverse current blocking work in this case. Is there any leakage current out of Vin2 (even in the nA range?)
#2) There is no Reverse Polarity Protection on this product, correct? So we would need an (ideal) diode on VIN2? Is there any PowerMUX with this integrated feature?
Thank you
