Power muxes
Seamlessly switch from your current solution to an integrated power mux
Power muxes select and transition between two input power paths to a single output with protection. A power mux chooses between different inputs such as barrel-jack, USB, wireless charging, backup power, and battery. In addition, these devices assist with applications that require a fast or seamless switchover response. This ensures that the system does not reset during any power transitions.
Switchover performance
Fast switchover performance minimizes voltage droop to keep the system on during power transitions. Automatic and user controlled options available.
Protection
Get the most from our single chip solution with integrated over voltage, over current and inrush current protection as well as soft start and thermal shut down features.
Total solution size
Lower BOM count and smaller solution size leads to more layout flexibility and increased power density.
Featured power muxes
TPS2120
The TPS2120 is a 22V, 3A integrated power mux with additional protection features. This is our smallest power mux in a 1.5mm x 2.0mm WCSP package, making it ideal for space constrained applications.
TPS2121
The TPS2121 is a 22V, 4.5A integrated power mux with additional protection features. The fast switchover time of this device allows for minimal voltage drop when switching between supplies.
