Power MUX 3 Click designed to manage multiple power sources in systems requiring power switching

Manage up to three power sources, autonomously select and connect the highest-priority valid supply to a common output with LTC4417

 

Power MUX 3 Click is a compact add-on board designed to manage multiple power sources in systems requiring high availability and power switching. It is based on the LTC4417, a prioritized PowerPath™ controller from Analog Devices.

 

KEY FEATURES:
 

  • Prioritized PowerPath™ Control: Autonomously selects and connects one of up to three valid power supplies to a common output.
  • User-Defined Thresholds: Allows setting undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds for power source validity
  • Fast Non-Overlap Switching: Ensures smooth transitions between power sources
  • Inrush Current Control: Manages current spikes during power-up or switching
  • Red VALID LED Indicators: Visually indicates which power source is currently valid
  • Cascading Support: Features a CAS pin for expanding to more than three power sources

 

APPLICATIONS:
 

  • Manages power transfer from main supply to battery backup
  • Ensures continuous operation with multiple power options
  • Provides power redundancy for critical systems
  • Manages power for accessories and modules in server environments
  • Ideal for any application needing automatic power source selection and management

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™

Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click board to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented the socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click board to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click board nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas, and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.

ABOUT MIKROE

MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more than million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1800+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
