DESCRIPTION
ACTIVE ORING CONTROLLER MODULE
In fault tolerant, redundant power distribution systems,
oring power diodes are commonly used, when
paralleling multiple power supplies, to prevent the
occurrence of reverse current if an individual power
supply voltage falls significantly below the others.
Despite of low-cost and easy implementation, the use
of oring power diodes suffers from high power
dissipation especially in high current applications.
The active oring controller module is designed to
replace oring power diodes in high-reliable 28V DC aircraft power systems. Each module is designed
to parallel two power supplies with current rated up to 30A on each line. The module uses low on-
resistance oring MOSFETs driven by an oring controller. Compared to oring power diodes, this
module dissipates very low power loss and can be operated without any heat sink. In addition, the
module can detect faults of dead short in the sourcing supply, a blown fuse, over load current, or open-
circuit of oring MOSFETs. This module also provides an interface for customers to diagnose the short-
circuit fault of oring MOSFETs.
