The TPS20xxE 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 fixed current-limit thresholds for
applications requiring 1.5A or 2A loading, with options between high or low enable
polarization in different packages.
The TPS20xxE 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 2.7V – 5.5V supply to provide
regulated power when the output is shorted. The power-switch rise and fall times are
controlled to minimize current surges during turn-on and turn-off.
