This reference design illustrates a 54V, 5kW input power path protection circuit for AI-powered data centers, utilizing one TPS1689 and five TPS1685 eFuse devices in parallel. These integrated high-current circuit protection devices provide multiple protections using a few external components, serving as a robust defense against overloads, short circuits, and excessive inrush current. The integrated PMBusĀ® interface in the TPS1689 eFuse enables real-time monitoring, control, and configuration. Three devices are located on the top layer, three on the bottom layer.
