TPS2121: Choosing correct part

Part Number: TPS2121


Hey,

We were recommended to use TPS2121 in another E2E post. 

We are looking for a transfer switch in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). We're using a 120VAC corrected to 12VDC as primary, and we're using a 12VDC car battery as the backup. We're ORing 12VDC primary and a 12VDC battery backup. I believe for our application, a power mux configuration would work best.

However TPS2121 has a very small footprint, is there a bigger option available like a DIP-8 footprint. 

Best Regards, 

Carolina Gomez 

  • Hi Carolina,

    Thanks for reaching out on E2E!

    I appreciate the detailed system description, for this application I would recommend using the TPS2121.

    Unfortunately, this is a somewhat unusual request, we usually see requests for a smaller package/device. We don't have a larger power mux device in the same family.

    May I ask what necessitates the requirement for a larger footprint / package?

    Thanks,

    Arthur Huang
