FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The TPS2590 provides highly integrated hot-swap

Integrated Pass MOSFET
power management and superior protection in
3-V to 20-V Bus Operation
applications where the load is powered by voltages
Programmable Fault Timer
between 3.0 V and 20 V. This device is intended for
systems where a voltage bus must be protected to

other system components. The TPS2590 is in a 16-
Fast Disable
pin QFN package.
Thermal Shutdown
The TPS2590 has multiple programmable protection
Load Fault Alert
features. Load protection is accomplished by a non-
current limiting fault threshold, a hard current limit
Latching and Auto-retry Operation
threshhold, and a fault timer. The dual current
4-mm x 4-mm QFN
thresholds allow the system to draw high current for
-40°C to 125°C Junction Temperature Range
short periods without causing a voltage droop at the
load. An example of this is a disk drive startup. This
UL Listed - File Number E169910
technique is ideal for loads that experience brief high
demand, but benefit from protection levels consistent

against SOA related failures.
Disk Drive
The TPS2590 provides a fault indicator output and
