Body diodes of N1, N2, and N3 conduct and short the
outputs of PS1, PS2, and PS3 to PGND. The power

condition increasing the loading on PS3 (provided
PS3 is able to supply all the required BUS cur-
rent). The current-sharing circuit will force the out-
puts of PS1 and PS2 to increase and eventually
saturate at their current-sharing voltage range.
Eventually only PS3 will have a positive voltage at
IN (U3) with respect to BUS. PS1 and PS2 will
have a negative voltage at V
respect to BUS. All overvoltage inputs OVI (U1),
OVI (U2), and OVI (U3) sense the overvoltage, but

The MAX5079 (U1) takes its power from the voltage at
BUS (U1). Connect BUS close to C
so that U1 can receive power from BUS for a few
microseconds until N1 isolates BUS from IN. N1 is dis-
charged with 2A pulldown current, turning off N1 and
isolating PS1 from the BUS. The load-sharing circuit of
PS2 and PS3 will increase PS2 and PS3’s load current
until the total bus current requirement is satisfied.

the UVLO threshold. The MAX5079’s GATE out-
puts start charging the back-to-back ORing
MOSFET gates. The short-circuit condition at BUS
collapses V
ing the MAX5079s into undervoltage lockout. This
turns off the MAX5079s entirely, including dis-
charging of the charge-pump storage capacitors.
The IN voltages come back up again crossing
UVLO (UVLO has 60mV hysteresis). A new cycle
starts and the time required to charge the charge-
pump capacitor and the turn-on time of the device
serves as a dead time. However, the dead time
may not be enough to reduce the dissipation in
the MOSFETs to an acceptable level. We advise
in keeping the short-circuit current low and pro-
viding hiccup current-limit protection to the power
supplies (PS1, PS2, and PS3).
IN voltage above UVLO, will keep the MOSFETs ON
continuously. Ensure the MOSFETs’ current
rating is higher than the maximum short-circuit
source current of the power supplies (PS1, PS2,
and PS3) to avoid damage to the ORing MOSFETs.
