The TPS2421 device provides highly integrated hot swap power management and superior protection in applications where the load is powered by busses up to 20 V. The TPS2421 device is well suited to standard bus voltages as low as 3.3 V because of the maximum-UV turnon threshold of 2.9 V. These devices are very effective in systems where a voltage bus must be protected to prevent shorts from interrupting or damaging the unit. The TPS2421 device is an easy to use devices in an 8-pin PowerPad™ SO-8 package. The TPS2421 device has multiple programmable protection features. Load protection is accomplished by a non-current limiting fault threshold, a hard current limit, and a fault timer. The current dual thresholds allow the system to draw short high current pulses, while the fault timer is running, without causing a voltage droop at the load. An example of this is a disk drive startup. This technique is ideal for loads that experience brief high demand, but benefit from protection levels in-line with their average current draw. Hotswap MOSFET protection is provided by power limit circuitry which protects the internal MOSFET against SOA related failures. The TPS2421 device is available in latch-off on fault (TPS2421-1) and retry on fault (TPS2421-2).

The TPS2456 is a dual, 12 V, channel protection (hotswap) and blocking (ORing) controller that provides inrush control, current limiting, overload protection, and reverse current blocking. The current sense topology provides both accurate current limits and independent setting of current limit and fast trip thresholds. The ORing control uses an external MOSFET to block reverse current when an input is shorted. Systems with closely matched supply voltages and feed networks can supply current from both supplies simultaneously. The MONx output provides an accurate analog indication of load current. The protection circuits may be used without blocking, and the blocking may be used without protection. Internal connections prevent implementation of these as four fully-independent functions.

The TPS2458 AdvancedMC™ slot controller is fully compliant with the AdvancedMC™ Standard and provides the required accuracy to meet the demands of an AdvancedMC™ (Advanced Mezzanine Card) module. The TPS2458 is an extremely flexible solution that protects both the power supply and the load by limiting the maximum current into the load and shutting off in case of a fault. If a severe fault occurs the current shuts off immediately. Optional ORing support is inherent in the architecture and can be used in MicroTCA™, or other applications requiring ORing support. The 3.3-V management channel is internal and requires only one external resistor for load monitoring and one external capacitor to set fault time. To comply with the AdvancedMC™ requirements, the 12-V output is disabled unless the 3.3-V Power Good signal is asserted. Load current monitors are provided for both the 12 V and 3.3 V channels. Status outputs include Power Good and Fault indicators for each channel. The TPS2458 is in a 32-pin PQFN package.

The TPS2459 hot-plug controller performs all necessary power interface functions for an AdvancedMC™ (Advanced Mezzanine Card). A fully integrated 3.3-V channel provides inrush control, over-current protection, and FET ORing. A 12-V channel provides the same functions using external FETs and sense resistors. The 3.3-V current limit is factory set to AdvancedMC™ compliant levels while the 12-V current limit is programmed using external sense resistors. The accurate current sense comparators of the TPS2459 satisfy the narrow ATCA™ AdvancedMC™ current limit requirements.

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.
