DESCRIPTION
The TPS2590 provides highly integrated hot-swap
power management and superior protection in
applications where the load is powered by voltages
between 3.0 V and 20 V. This device is intended for
systems where a voltage bus must be protected to
prevent load shorts from interrupting or damaging
other system components. The TPS2590 is in a
16-pin QFN package.
The TPS2590 has multiple programmable protection
features. Load protection is accomplished by a
non-current limiting fault threshold, a hard current
limit threshhold, and a fault timer. The dual current
thresholds allow the system to draw high current for
short periods without causing a voltage droop at the
load. An example of this is a disk drive startup. This
technique is ideal for loads that experience brief high
demand, but benefit from protection levels consistent
with average current draw.
Hotswap MOSFET protection is provided by power
limit circuitry which protects the internal MOSFET
against SOA related failures.
The TPS2590 provides a fault indicator output and
allows latch off or retry on fault.
