3 Description

The TPS20xxC and TPS20xxC-2 power-distribution

switch family is intended for applications, such as

USB, where heavy capacitive loads and short circuits

are likely to be encountered. This family offers

multiple devices with fixed current-limit thresholds for

applications from 0.5 A to 2 A.

The TPS20xxC and TPS20xxC-2 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 overload

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.
