8.3.3.1 Reliable Switch-On Behavior

During the commanded switch-on sequence, the TPS2HC08-Q1 provides reliable switch-on behavior with below device features:

  1. Adjustable Current Limit: The device permits current up to the configured current limit (ICL), which can be precisely adjusted between 7.5A to 25A using the external RLIM resistor.
  2. Thermal Regulation of Current Limit: As the FET temperature rises during switch-on, the thermal regulation circuitry reduces the current limit to maintain safe operating conditions.
  3. Retry protection mechanism from Thermal Shutdown: If the thermal threshold is reached during initial startup, the device enters a well-defined retry sequence designed specifically for reliable load startup.
