The TPS25990 is an integrated, high-current circuit protection and power management device in a small package. The device provides multiple protection modes using very few external components and is a robust defense against overloads, short circuits, and excessive inrush current.

The integrated PMBus® interface allows a host controller to monitor, control and configure the system in real-time. Key system parameters can be read back by remote telemetry. Various protection, warning thresholds and coefficients can be configured through PMBus® or stored in non-volatile configuration memory. Blackbox fault recording feature helps in the debugging of field failures and returns.

The device can be used as a standalone eFuse, or connected as a primary controller in a parallel eFuse configuration for higher current support. All devices actively synchronize their operating state and share current during start-up and steady state to avoid over-stressing some of the devices which can result in premature or partial shutdown of the parallel chain.Read more
