DESCRIPTION
Operating Range: 2.5 V to 6.5 V
2-μA Maximum Standby Supply Current
Built-in Soft-Start
The TPS2556/57 power-distribution switches are
intended for applications where precision current
limiting is required or heavy capacitive loads and
short circuits are encountered. These devices offer a
programmable current-limit threshold between 500
mA and 5.0 A (typ) via an external resistor. The
power-switch rise and fall times are controlled to
minimize current surges during turn on/off.
15 kV / 8 kV System-Level ESD Capable
UL Listed* – File No. E169910
CB & Nemko Certification*
*RILIM ≥ 24.9 kΩ (5A maximum)
TPS2556/57 devices limit the output current to a safe
level by switching into a constant-current mode when
the output load exceeds the current-limit threshold.
The FAULT logic output asserts low during
overcurrent and over temperature conditions.
