Texas Instruments TPS281C100 Single-Channel Smart High-Side Switch

The device integrates protection features such as current limit, thermal shutdown, and output clamp. These features improve system robustness during fault events such as short circuits. TPS281C100 implements an adjustable current limiting circuit that enhances the system’s reliability by reducing inrush current when driving large capacitive loads and minimizing overload current. To drive high inrush current loads such as fast-charging capacitive loads or lamps, TPS281C100A implements an inrush current time period with a higher level of allowed current. The device provides an accurate load current sense for improved load diagnostics. These improvements include overload and open-load detection, enabling better predictive maintenance.

The Texas Instruments TPS281C100 is available in a small 14-pin, 4.4mm×5mm HTSSOP leaded package with 0.65mm pin pitch and 12-pin, 4mm×4mm WSON with 0.5mm pin pitch minimizing the PCB footprint.
