3 Description

The TPS20xxC and TPS20xxC-2 dual power-

distribution switch family is intended for applications such as USB where heavy capacitive loads and

short-circuits may be encountered. This family offers

multiple devices with fixed current-limit thresholds for

applications between 0.5 A and 2 A.

The TPS20xxC and TPS20xxC-2 dual family limits

the output current to a safe level by operating in a constant-current mode when the output load exceeds

the current-limit threshold. This provides a predictable

fault current under all conditions. The fast overcurrent

response time eases the burden on the main 5 V

supply to provide regulated power when the output is shorted. The power-switch rise and fall times are

controlled to minimize current surges during turnon

and turnoff.
