3 Description

The TPS274C65xS device is a quad-channel smart

high-side switch with a serial interface (SPI) control

and is designed to meet the requirements of industrial

control systems. The low 72-mΩ RDSON minimizes

device power dissipation even when providing large

output load current. The device integrates protection

and diagnostic features to ensure system protection

even during harmful events like short circuits or load

failures. The device protects against faults through a

reliable current limit which is adjustable from 300 mA

to 2.2 A to provide protection regardless of output

load current. The TPS274C65xS has a configurable

inrush current period which sets a higher current limit

during turn-on for high inrush current loads, charging

capacitive loads faster, or driving incandescent bulbs.

The TPS274C65xS also provides accurate current

sense and an integrated analog to digital converter

(AS) that allows for improved load diagnostics. By

reporting load current digitally, the device allows

for communication over any isolation barrier while

enabling predictive maintenance and load diagnostics

to improve system lifetime. Additional diagnostic

features are integrated, such as on-state or off-state

open load detection and short-to-supply detection.

The TPS274C65xS is available in a small 6-mm ×

6-mm VQFN package with 0.5-mm pin pitch, which

minimizes design PCB footprint.
