Product details
Overview
LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an Intel Node Manager 2.0/2.5-compliant system power management and protection IC with PMBus™ interface, operating from 2.9V to 17V input. It integrates hot-swap control, real-time telemetry (VIN, IIN, PIN, VOUT, VAUX, temperature), programmable current/power limiting, and circuit breaker protection. Used in server backplane systems for precise inrush control and fault response.
For engineers reviewing the LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB datasheet, LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB pinout, LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB application, or LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include PMBus compliance, READ_EIN energy accumulator capability, ±1% current measurement accuracy (LM25066IA variant), 12-bit telemetry resolution, and WQFN-24 thermal performance.
Technical Context
The LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB implements a dual-stage protection architecture: programmable current limiting (25mV/46mV thresholds) combined with power limiting via external resistor on PWR pin, both feeding into a fast-acting circuit breaker (response <1.2 µs). Its telemetry subsystem uses simultaneous sampling and hardware averaging (0.001–4 s intervals) across VIN, IIN, PIN, and VOUT channels.
Control logic includes configurable UVLO/OVLO with hysteresis, RETRY latching behavior, and TIMER-based insertion delay/fault timeout. The SMBus/I²C interface supports full PMBus 1.2 command set including READ_EIN, black box telemetry capture on WARN/FAULT, and SMBA alert notification.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar system power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM25066IAIPSQX/NOPB | Higher current accuracy (±1% vs ±2.4% for LM25066I), same pinout and PMBus feature set. | Preferred for precision power budgeting where current measurement fidelity is critical (e.g., AI accelerator racks). | Select LM25066IAIPSQX/NOPB when ±1% IIN accuracy is required; otherwise LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB offers cost-optimized Node Manager compliance. |
| TPS2491PWR | No PMBus interface; analog-only configuration via resistors; lacks READ_EIN, black box, and VAUX telemetry. | Suitable for simpler hot-swap applications without system-level telemetry or firmware integration needs. | Choose TPS2491PWR only if PMBus telemetry, energy accumulation, and multi-parameter monitoring are unnecessary. |
Compared with LM25066IAIPSQX/NOPB, LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB trades ±1% current accuracy for lower cost while retaining identical Node Manager compliance, READ_EIN, and black box functionality; versus TPS2491PWR, it adds full PMBus telemetry at the expense of analog configurability and higher BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB in a server backplane?
The LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB serves as an intelligent hot-swap controller and power monitor, enforcing inrush current limits, detecting overcurrent/overvoltage faults, and providing real-time telemetry (VIN, IIN, PIN, VOUT, temperature) via PMBus to the system management controller. It ensures safe hot-plug operation while meeting Intel Node Manager 2.5 requirements.
Does the LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB support energy measurement, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB supports true input energy measurement via the READ_EIN PMBus command. It uses simultaneous sampling of VIN and IIN to compute instantaneous power and integrate over time, delivering accurate energy accumulation without host CPU overhead.
How does the circuit breaker function differ from the current limit function in the LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB?
The current limit operates continuously to regulate load current during startup or overload, while the circuit breaker is a fast-acting (sub-microsecond) hard shutdown triggered when current exceeds 1.8× or 3.6× the programmed limit (set by CB pin). It protects against catastrophic shorts independently of the slower power-limit loop.
What telemetry data can be captured in the LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB's black box mode?
The LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB captures a time-stamped snapshot of VIN, IIN, PIN, VOUT, VAUX, temperature, and device status registers upon WARN or FAULT assertion. This data is stored in nonvolatile memory and retrievable via PMBus for post-fault diagnostics without host intervention.
Is the LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB pin-compatible with the LM25066IAIPSQX/NOPB?
Yes, the LM25066IAPSQX/NOPB and LM25066IAIPSQX/NOPB share identical pinout, package, and electrical interface. They differ only in internal calibration - the LM25066IA variant delivers ±1% current measurement accuracy versus ±2.4% for the LM25066I, making them direct drop-in replacements where accuracy requirements permit.
