3 Description

The TPS25984x is an integrated, high-current circuit protection and power management solution in a small package. The device provides multiple protection modes using very few external components and is a robust defense against overloads, short circuits, and excessive inrush current.

Applications with particular inrush current requirements can set the output slew rate with a single external capacitor. Output current limit level can be set by user as per system needs. A user adjustable overcurrent blanking timer allows systems to support transient peaks in the load current without tripping the eFuse.
