PI2126-EVAL1 Datasheet, PDF (2/8 Pages) Vicor Corporation – PI2126-EVAL1 30V/12A Full-Function High Side Active ORing

Cool-ORing^® PI2126 Product Description
The PI2126 Cool-ORing^® is a complete full-function Active
ORing solution with a high-speed ORing MOSFET
controller and a very low on-state resistance MOSFET
designed for use in redundant power system
architectures. The PI2126 Cool-ORing® solution is offered
in an extremely small, thermally enhanced 5mm x 7mm
LGA package and can be used in high side, medium
voltage Active ORing applications. The PI2126 enables
extremely low power loss with fast dynamic response to
fault conditions, critical for high availability systems.
The PI2126, with its 30V/5.5mΩ internal MOSFET
provides very high efficiency and low power loss during
steady state operation, while achieving high-speed turn-
off of the internal MOSFET during input power source
fault conditions that cause reverse current flow. The
PI2126 provides an active low fault flag output to the
system during reverse current, excessive forward over-
current and UVLO fault conditions.
Figure 1 shows a photo of the PI2126-EVAL1 evaluation
board, with two PI2126 SiPs used to form the two Active
ORing channels. The board is built with two identical
Active ORing circuits with options and features that
enable the user to fully explore the capabilities of the
PI2126 Cool-ORing® solution.
