LM66100: 3 power sources oring

Part Number: LM66100

hi,

we wish to simulate LM66100 in TINA but the simulation model available is encrypted.

We need to oring 3 sources: the main battery, the supercap/backup and a power harvester.

As far as i understood from DS we need 4 devices, 2 to or-ing the first 2 sources and 2 to oring the output of the 1st oring with the 3rd source.

Correct?

  • Hi Vincenzo,

    Welcome to E2E!

    Attached is the unencrypted PSPICE .lib file needed to import the LM66100 into TINA TI. For the ORing of the 3 sources, the configuration you described is a possibility as long as the 3 sources have different voltages. Source with similar voltages could run into a problem with the CE pin turn-on and turn-off thresholds. I'll discuss with my team to see if there's other known configurations of the LM66100 for ORing 3 sources.

    Best regards,

  • Hi Vincenzo,

    I wasn't able to find another instance where we've done ORing of three power sources with the LM66100, but the solution you described is a possibility.

    I will go ahead and close this thread. If you have any additional question please create a new posts and tag the LM66100 with the new questions.

    Best regards,
