TPS259260DRCR

TPS259260DRCR is a Hot Swap Controller specifically designed by Texas Instruments for board level power distribution. The device operates from PMBus compliant interface and offers integrated protection features and high efficiency. The protection features also include current foldback and inrush current limit capabilities. The device can operate from 5V or 2V output voltage with support for up to eight boards.

Applications for the TPS259260DRCR device range from telecommunications to consumer products. The device enables hot plugging without the need for manual reset. Other applications include power supply sequencing, power distribution, and motor control. It’s capable of driving up to 40A of output current to support a wide range of power levels.

The operating principle of TPS259260DRCR is based on the concept of regulation and protection. It’s responsible for regulating an externally supplied output voltage while protecting against back-feeds, short circuits, and over-current conditions. The device uses the PMBus command interface to manage various parameters such as output voltage, current sense gain, over-current protection threshold, inrush current limit and so on.

The device features advanced protection features such as current foldback and inrush limit. The current foldback protection ensures that the output power is within the specified limits and reduces the output current. The inrush limit prevents excessive system currents due to capacitive load transients. Other features of the TPS259260DRCR device include an over-voltage protection that prevents output voltage from exceeding the maximum rated value and an over-temperature protection that protects the system from overheating.

The TPS259260DRCR is an attractive solution for any design seeking power solutions in PMIC - Hot Swap Controllers. With its integrated protection and optimized performance, it offers a wide range of advantages, such as ease of use, improved system efficiency, and flexibility. This makes it an ideal choice for any kind of application that requires high performance and reliability.
