TPS2592BADRCR

PMIC - Hot Swap Controllers/TPS2592BADRCR application field and working principle

The TPS2592BADRCR is a hot swap controller from Texas Instruments that is designed for the reliable hot addition or removal of load or power sources from a system without disruption or power glitches. This Hot Swap controller provides circuit protection and control for hot plug-in replacement of AVS (Active Voltage Scaling) or any other type of power FET based hot swap application. What makes TPS2592BADRCR unique is its high performance, low cost, and high-frequency pulse modulation for power systems.

The TPS2592BADRCR operates in three different modes of operation, including off mode, on mode, and sleep mode. When in off mode, the controller is completely disabled, while in the on mode, the controller is enabled and the load current is regulated. The sleep mode allows the device to operate with minimal current draw. The TPS2592BADRCR also has two different current limit selections, one for the overload condition, and another for the short circuit condition.

The TPS2592BADRCR offers flexibility in its design and the ability to control up to eight different output voltages. It also features built-in overtemperature protection and external thermal sensing to protect the power supply from thermal shutdown. In addition, the controller has an adjustable rising frequency that allows the user to optimize the turn-on time and current amplitude. Furthermore, this device has a low jitter and is immune to noise, eliminating the need for extra capacitors and improving the overall system performance.

The main benefit of using the TPS2592BADRCR hot swap controller is its high-frequency pulse modulation feature. This feature allows the user to reduce the in-rush current and ensure reliable connection to the load while providing soft-start and turn-off of the load with no impact to other connected parts of the system. This feature also helps to minimize power loss due to wasted current and minimize electroluminescent (EL) effects from the load.

In summary, the TPS2592BADRCR hot swap controller is an efficient and reliable solution for hot swapping and power management applications. Its combination of high performance, low cost, and rugged design make it an ideal solution for AVS or other FET-based hot swap applications. Furthermore, its high-frequency pulse modulation feature helps to reduce in-rush current, minimize power loss, and improve system performance.
