TPS2590RSAT (TEXAS INSTRUMENTS)

The TPS2590RSAT is a high current Load Switch with dual fault threshold and selectable fault response. It provides highly integrated hot-swap power management and superior protection in applications where the load is powered by busses up to 20V. The maximum UV turn-on threshold of 2.9V makes the TPS2590 device well suited to standard bus voltages as low as 3.3V. This device is intended for systems where a voltage bus must be protected to prevent load shorts from interrupting or damaging other system components. It has multiple programmable protection features. Load protection is accomplished by a non-current-limiting fault threshold, a hard current-limit threshold and a fault timer. The dual current thresholds allow the system to draw high current for short periods without causing a voltage droop at the load.
