MAX5973 - Phase Redundancy Power Supervisor

General Description

The MAX5973 protects individual slave phases of a phase redundant DC-DC converter.

The power protection functions comprise an electronic circuit-breaker controller driving an external n-channel MOSFET at the step-down power input, and an internal 3.3V switch for the slave phase-controller power.

The power protection functions comprise an electronic circuit-breaker controller driving an external n-channel MOSFET at the step-down power input, and an internal 3.3V switch for the slave phase-controller power. To protect the output bus, an “ideal diode” controller drives an external n-channel MOSFET at the slave phase output. Serial data to and from the slave phase is buffered by the MAX5973 to prevent a failure of one phase from interrupting communication to the remaining phases. Similarly, the differential analog error signals for the phase controller are also buffered.
