DESCRIPTION

The TPS2300 and TPS2301 are dual-channel hotswap

controllers that use external N-channel

MOSFETs as high-side switches in power

applications. Features of these devices, such as

overcurrent protection (OCP), inrush current control,

output-power status reporting, and the ability to

discriminate between load transients and faults, are

critical requirements for hot-swap applications.

The TPS2300/01 devices incorporate undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and power-good (PG) reporting to ensure the

device is off at start-up and confirm the status of the output voltage rails during operation. Each internal charge

pump, capable of driving multiple MOSFETs, provides enough gate-drive voltage to fully enhance the N-channel

MOSFETs. The charge pumps control both the rise times and fall times (dv/dt) of the MOSFETs, reducing power

transients during power up/down. The circuit-breaker functionality combines the ability to sense overcurrent

conditions with a timer function; this allows designs such as DSPs, that may have high peak currents during

power-state transitions, to disregard transients for a programmable period.
