3 Description

The TPS25921 is a compact, feature rich eFuse with

a full suite of protection functions. The wide operating

voltage allows control of many popular DC buses.

The precise ±2% current limit, at room temperature,

provides excellent accuracy making the TPS25921

well suited for many system protection applications.

Load, source and device protection are provided with

multiple programmable features including overcurrent,

overvoltage and undervoltage. 3% threshold accuracy for UV and OV, ensures tight supervision of bus

voltages, eliminating the need for supervisor circuitry.

Fault flag output (FLT) is provided for system status

monitoring and down stream load control.

For hot-plug-in boards, TPS25921 provides in-rush

current control and programmable output ramp-rate.

Output ramp rate is programmable using a capacitor at soft-start (SS) pin, for maximum design flexibility.
