The TPS20xxC and TPS20xxC-2
power-distribution switch family is intended for applications, such as USB, where
heavy capacitive loads and short circuits are likely to be encountered. This family
offers multiple devices with fixed current-limit thresholds for applications from
0.5A to 2A.
The TPS20xxC and TPS20xxC-2 family
limits the output current to a safe level by operating in a constant-current mode
when the output load exceeds the current limit threshold. This provides a
predictable fault current under all conditions. The fast overload response time
eases the burden on the main 5V supply to provide regulated power when the output is
shorted. The power-switch rise and fall times are controlled to minimize current
surges during turnon and turnoff.
