Texas Instruments TPS25981x 2.7V to 16V 10A eFuses are highly integrated circuit protection and power management solutions in a small package. The devices provide multiple protection modes using very few external components and are a robust defense against overloads, short circuits, voltage surges, and excessive inrush current.
A single external capacitor can adjust the output slew rate and inrush current. Loads are protected from input overvoltage conditions by cutting off the output if the input exceeds an adjustable overvoltage threshold. The devices respond to output overload by actively limiting the current (during start-up) or breaking the circuit (during steady-state). The overcurrent protection threshold, as well as the transient overcurrent blanking timer, are user-adjustable. The current limit control pin also functions as an analog load current monitor.
The Texas Instruments TPS25981x are available in a 2mm × 2mm, 10-pin HotRod™ QFN package for reduced system footprint and improved thermal performance. The devices are characterized for operation over a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
