Product details
Overview
LM25066PSQE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a PMBus™-compliant system power management and protection IC for hot-swap control and real-time telemetry. It operates from 2.9 V to 17 V input, delivers ±2.4% current measurement accuracy over temperature, supports 12-bit VIN/IIN/PIN/VOUT monitoring at 1-kHz sampling, and integrates programmable 25-mV/46-mV current limiting with configurable circuit breaker protection. It is deployed in server backplane power distribution to prevent damage during live board insertion.
For engineers reviewing the LM25066PSQE/NOPB datasheet, LM25066PSQE/NOPB pinout, LM25066PSQE/NOPB application, or LM25066PSQE/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-pin WQFN package, SMBus interface timing compliance (up to 400 kHz), dual-threshold undervoltage/overvoltage lockout with hysteresis, real-time power averaging via simultaneous VIN/IIN sampling, and black-box telemetry capture triggered by WARN/FAULT events.
Technical Context
The LM25066PSQE/NOPB implements a dedicated hot-swap controller block with fast-acting current limiting and fault detection logic that drives an external N-channel MOSFET gate. Its analog front-end uses precision current sensing across an external shunt resistor (SENSE–VIN) and performs true input power calculation by synchronously sampling VIN and IIN before computing PIN = VIN × IIN.
Its digital subsystem includes a PMBus™-compliant SMBus interface with SDA/SCL/SMBA pins, address configuration via ADR0–ADR2, and register-mapped telemetry storage for voltage, current, power, temperature, and fault status. The internal 2.73-V reference (VREF) and 12-bit ADC support auxiliary inputs (VAUX, DIODE) and enable remote thermal monitoring using an external diode.
Key Specifications

| Configurable circuit breaker | CB pin sets trip point at 1.8× or 3.6× current limit-provides graded response to hard shorts vs. overload conditions. |
| Real-time power averaging | Simultaneous 12-bit VIN/IIN sampling eliminates phase error in PIN = VIN × IIN computation-critical for accurate dynamic power telemetry. |
| Black-box telemetry capture | Automatically stores pre-fault telemetry (VIN, IIN, PIN, VOUT, temp) and device status upon WARN/FAULT trigger-enables root-cause analysis without host polling. |
| Remote temperature sensing | DIODE pin interfaces with external NPN diode-monitors MOSFET junction or board hotspot temperature with 9-bit resolution and ±10°C accuracy. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hot-swap and power telemetry applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM25066IY/NOPB | Same silicon die, identical electrical specs, but in 24-pin HTSSOP package (7.8 mm × 4.4 mm) with gull-wing leads. | Requires different PCB layout and reflow profile; less thermally efficient (RθJA = 52.5°C/W vs. 34.1°C/W). | Choose LM25066IY/NOPB only if through-hole or hand-soldering compatibility is required. |
| TPS2491PWR | Non-PMBus™ hot-swap controller with fixed 20-mV current limit, no power telemetry, and no black-box logging. | Lacks real-time power monitoring, SMBus interface, and fault snapshot capability-suitable only for basic current limiting. | Choose TPS2491PWR only when telemetry and digital configurability are unnecessary and cost is primary constraint. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LM25066PSQE/NOPB in a power system?
The LM25066PSQE/NOPB serves as a PMBus™-compliant hot-swap controller and power telemetry IC. It manages safe board insertion into live backplanes, enforces programmable current limits, detects overvoltage/undervoltage faults, and provides real-time 12-bit measurements of VIN, IIN, PIN, VOUT, and temperature. Its core value lies in combining protection and visibility in a single 24-pin WQFN device-LM25066PSQE/NOPB replaces discrete monitoring and control circuits in server and telecom power architectures.
How does the LM25066PSQE/NOPB achieve accurate input power measurement?
The LM25066PSQE/NOPB achieves ±3% input power accuracy by performing simultaneous 12-bit sampling of VIN and IIN at 1-kHz rate, then computing PIN = VIN × IIN in real time. This synchronous sampling eliminates phase-induced errors common in sequential ADC architectures. The internal 2.73-V reference (VREF) and precision current-sense amplifier ensure stability across –40°C to +85°C-LM25066PSQE/NOPB's true power calculation is validated in TI's SNVS654J datasheet Section 7.5.
Can the LM25066PSQE/NOPB be used without an external microcontroller?
Yes-the LM25066PSQE/NOPB operates autonomously for core protection functions: current limiting, UVLO/OVLO, circuit breaker tripping, and PGD assertion all execute independently of SMBus communication. Configuration (e.g., thresholds, retry behavior) can be set via hardware pins (CL, CB, RETRY). However, full telemetry access, black-box log retrieval, and dynamic reconfiguration require an SMBus host-LM25066PSQE/NOPB retains full standalone functionality even with SMBus lines unconnected.
What is the role of the TIMER pin on the LM25066PSQE/NOPB?
On the LM25066PSQE/NOPB, the TIMER pin controls three timing functions via a single external capacitor: insertion delay (time before GATE enables), fault timeout period (duration before circuit breaker triggers), and restart interval (delay between retry attempts). Its voltage thresholds (1.7 V upper, 1.0 V lower) define state transitions-LM25066PSQE/NOPB uses this pin to coordinate controlled power-up sequences and deterministic fault recovery without external timers or firmware.
Does the LM25066PSQE/NOPB support remote temperature monitoring?
Yes-the LM25066PSQE/NOPB supports remote temperature sensing via its DIODE pin, which sources a programmable current (9.4 µA low / 250 µA high) into an external NPN transistor configured as a diode. This enables monitoring of MOSFET junction temperature or other thermally sensitive components with ±10°C accuracy and 9-bit resolution-LM25066PSQE/NOPB's thermal telemetry is fully integrated into its PMBus™ register map for host-read accessibility.
