PI2121
Series
8 Volt, 24 Amp Full-Function Active ORing Solution
Description
Features
The PI2121 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 PI2121 Cool-ORing
solution is offered in an extremely small, thermally
enhanced 5mm x 7mm LGA package and can be
used in low voltage (≤ 5Vbus) high side Active ORing
applications. The PI2121 enables extremely low
power loss with fast dynamic response to fault
conditions, critical for high availability systems. A
master/slave feature allows the paralleling of PI2121
solutions
for

current

ORing
requirements.
•
The PI2121, with its 1.5mΩ internal MOSFET
provides very high efficiency and low power loss
during steady state operation, while achieving highspeed turn-off of the internal MOSFET during input
power source fault conditions that cause reverse
current flow. The PI2121 provides an active low
fault flag output to the system during excessive
forward current, light load, reverse current, overvoltage, under-voltage and over-temperature fault
conditions. A temperature sensing function indicates
a fault if the maximum junction temperature exceeds
160°C. The under-voltage and over-voltage
thresholds are programmable via an external resistor
divider.

Description
Drain- The Drain of the internal N-channel MOSFET, connect to the output load.
Source-The source of the internal N-channel MOSFET, connect to the input power source bus
voltage.
Positive Sense Input & Clamp: Connect SP pin to the S pin. The polarity of the voltage
difference between SP and SN provides an indication of current flow direction through the
MOSFET.
Fault State Output: This open collector pin pulls low when a fault occurs. Fault logic inputs
are VC Under-Voltage, Input Under-Voltage, Input Over-Voltage, Forward Over-Current, light
load, reverse current, and Over-Temperature. Leave this pin open if unused.
Blanking timer Input-Output: Connect a resistor from BK to GND to set the blanking time for
the Reverse Comparator function. To configure in slave mode, connect BK to VC. To
configure in master mode with the fastest turn-off response connect BK directly to GND.
Slave Input-Output: This pin is used for paralleling multiple PI2121 solutions in high power
applications. When the PI2121 is configured as the Master, this pin functions as an output
capable of driving up to 10 SL pins of slaved PI2121 devices. It serves as an input when the
PI2121 is configured in slave mode.
Input Supply Pin: This pin is the supply pin for the control circuitry and gate driver. Connect
a 1μF capacitor between VC pin and the GND pin. Voltage on this pin is limited to 15.5V by
an internal shunt regulator in high auxiliary voltage applications. For high voltage auxiliary
supply applications connect a shunt resistor between VC and the auxiliary supply.
Ground: This pin is ground for the gate driver and control circuitry.
Input Over Voltage Input: The OV pin is used to detect an input source over-voltage
condition in ground referenced applications. When the OV pin voltage crosses the OV
threshold, the FT pin pulls low indicating a fault condition. The input voltage OV threshold is
programmable through an external resistor divider. Connect OV to GND to disable this
function.
Input Under-Voltage Input: The UV pin is used to detect an input source under-voltage
condition in ground referenced applications. When the UV pin voltage drops below the UV
threshold, the FT pin pulls low indicating a fault condition. The input voltage UV threshold is
programmable through an external resistor divider. Connect UV to VC to disable this function.
Negative Sense Input & Clamp- Connect SN to D pin. The polarity of the voltage difference
between SP and SN provides an indication of current flow direction through the MOSFET.
