The TPS24710/11/12/13 is an easy-to-use, 2.5 V to 18 V, hot-swap controller that safely
drives an external N-channel MOSFET. The programmable current limit and fault time protect the
supply and load from excessive current at startup. After startup, currents above the user-selected
limit will be allowed to flow until programmed timeout – except in extreme overload events when the
load is immediately disconnected from source. The low, 25mV current sense threshold is highly
accurate and allows use of smaller, more efficient sense resistors yielding lower power loss and
smaller footprint.
Programmable power limiting ensures the external MOSFET operates inside its safe
operating area (SOA) at all times. This allows the use of smaller MOSFETS while improving system
reliability. Power good and fault outputs are provided for status monitoring and downstream load
control.
