IC for power supply source selector switch needed
« on: June 07, 2023, 02:20:05 am »
Hello, I don't know the name of this type of IC. I want to have two power supply sources at 5VDC 500mA. One source is internal (USB) and the other external from a power adapter. I want the internal to be cut off and the external to supply power when applied (5V detected from it perhaps.) Is there a name for this type of IC like a power selector? I can find battery backup ICs but not this type. I considered a barrel connector with a switch - this kind of thing https://www.edaboard.com/attachments/dcjack-png.168949/ but it cuts off ground not 5V and I don't want centre-pin negative nonsense. Thanks.

There's ideal diode controllers like LM66200 which automatically switch between 2 sources, giving priority to the highest voltage : https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm66200.pdf
You could add a diode in series with the internal voltage and that would lower it the internal voltage a bit below 5v, so when you insert the external 5v it would switch to that.

You can use a single ideal diodes like LM66100 and a p-channel mosfet to auto switch, without using a diode , see page 12 : https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm66100.pdf

MAX40200 is another ideal diode : https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX40200.pdf
Could use it similarly ... have it on internal 5v with a diode before it to reduce the voltage a bit so that when you put external 5v the ideal diode will block lower internal voltage, or you could use it on external input along with a p-channel mosfet to disable internal voltage.

There are also chips that can switch between multiple inputs automatically but typically have limitations or are more expensive .

Look for example at TPS211, TPS2110, TPS2114, TPS2115 :
TPS2110/TPS2111 : https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps2110a.pdf
TPS2114/TPS2115  : https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps2114a.pdf

2115 is $2.65 if you buy just one on Digikey, while a LM66100 is maybe 40 cents and a p-channel mosfet is maybe 10-20 cents.

tps2113 is around $2 https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps2113a.pdf

FPF3040 is cheaper at around 1.2$ on Digikey and does the same job but higher pin count chip and harder to use (bga balls) : https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/fpf3040-d.pdf

 

Cheaper stuff, for example TPS22933 has 3 inputs and a built in 3.6v linear regulator and automatically switches between the input with the highest voltage. Downside is the output is maximum 50mA

Thanks very much. They seem to be called Source Selector Switches / OR controllers.  TPS2110A looks about right, a bit expensive but I'm not making many of these. Thanks.
