Product details
Overview
TPS2041BD from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, current-limited power-distribution switch featuring a 70mΩ high-side N-channel MOSFET, 500mA continuous output current, thermal and short-circuit protection, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V. It serves as a smart load switch in USB-powered peripherals and embedded systems requiring controlled inrush current and fault isolation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2041BD datasheet, TPS2041BD pinout, TPS2041BD application, or TPS2041BD equivalent, key selection criteria include its precise 0.75A–1.25A current-limit threshold, 0.6ms typical rise time, undervoltage lockout (2.0–2.6V), deglitched OC fault reporting, and 1μA standby supply current - all critical for reliable hot-swap and capacitive-load management.
Technical Context
The TPS2041BD integrates an internal charge pump to drive the gate of its high-side MOSFET, enabling full enhancement down to 2.7V input without external components. Its constant-current limiting activates when load current exceeds the specified threshold, pulling the open-drain OC pin low to signal overcurrent.
Thermal shutdown engages at 135°C junction temperature and recovers automatically at 125°C with 10°C hysteresis. Undervoltage lockout prevents erroneous switching below 2.0V (rising) and ensures stable enable behavior across –40°C to 85°C ambient operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 500 mA - supports USB-compliant downstream ports and moderate-power peripherals |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.75 A min / 1.25 A max - provides accurate fault detection with ±25% tolerance for design margining |
| RDS(on) | 70 mΩ (typ, 5 V) - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating under full load |
| Rise Time | 0.6 ms (typ, 5.5 V) - controls inrush dv/dt to prevent bus voltage droop during hot-plug events |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V system rails |
| Standby Supply Current | 1 μA - enables ultra-low-power sleep states in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer-grade embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
TPS2041BD is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size, with exposed thermal pad internally connected to GND for PCB heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for power switch and internal circuitry; must be connected to PCB ground plane |
| IN | Power input | Supplies the high-side MOSFET source; accepts 2.7–5.5 V with UVLO protection |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control (VIH ≥ 2 V); turns on MOSFET when driven high |
| OC | Overcurrent flag | Open-drain output pulled low during current limit or thermal shutdown; requires external pull-up |
| OUT | Switched output | Drives load; features controlled rise/fall times to suppress inrush transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated charge pump | Enables full MOSFET enhancement from 2.7V input - no external gate-drive components required |
| Deglitched OC output | 4–15 ms glitch immunity prevents false fault latching during startup or transient surges |
| Thermal shutdown recovery | Automatic restart after cooling to 125°C - eliminates manual reset requirement in field-deployed systems |
| UL Recognition (E169910) | Meets safety standards for end-equipment certification in commercial and industrial applications |
| No OC glitch at power-up | Ensures clean enable sequence - OC remains high until valid IN and EN conditions are met |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-distribution switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2051BD | Same pinout, same SOIC-8 package, but active-high enable with identical electrical specs except OC assertion timing (slightly faster deglitch) | Drop-in replacement where enable polarity matches existing layout; functionally identical for most USB and load-switch use cases | Select TPS2051BD if system logic uses active-high enable signals and OC response speed is prioritized |
| AP2171SG-13 | Single-channel, 500mA, 2.7–5.5V, but higher RDS(on) (120mΩ typ), no UL recognition, and 2.5μA standby current | Lacks safety certification and has higher conduction loss - suitable only for cost-sensitive non-certified consumer designs | Choose AP2171SG-13 only when UL compliance is not required and board space allows for higher thermal dissipation |
Compared with TPS2041BD, TPS2051BD offers identical performance and pin compatibility with minor enable-polarity alignment benefits, while AP2171SG-13 trades certification and efficiency for lower unit cost in non-regulated applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the TPS2041BD?
The TPS2041BD is rated for 500 mA continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (2.7 V to 5.5 V input, –40°C to 85°C ambient). Its current-limit threshold is specified from 0.75 A minimum to 1.25 A maximum, ensuring safe operation during overload events without exceeding thermal limits. This rating applies across all supported packages including the SOIC-8 variant used in TPS2041BD.
Does the TPS2041BD require external components for gate driving?
No, the TPS2041BD does not require external components for gate driving. It integrates an internal charge pump that fully enhances the high-side N-channel MOSFET from input voltages as low as 2.7 V. This eliminates the need for external bootstrap capacitors or level-shifters, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM count while maintaining fast 0.6 ms typical rise time.
How does the overcurrent (OC) pin behave during fault conditions?
The OC pin on the TPS2041BD is an open-drain output that pulls low during overcurrent or thermal shutdown events. It features a deglitch circuit with 4–15 ms filtering to reject transient spikes, and it asserts cleanly without glitches at power-up. The pin remains low until the fault condition clears and the device recovers - either automatically after thermal cooldown or upon current reduction below the trip threshold.
What is the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold for the TPS2041BD?
The TPS2041BD has an undervoltage lockout threshold of 2.0 V (minimum) to 2.6 V (maximum) on the IN pin, with 75 mV hysteresis. When input voltage falls below the falling threshold, the internal switch disables and OC is deasserted. UVLO ensures stable operation and prevents erratic switching during brown-out conditions across the full –40°C to 85°C temperature range.
Is the TPS2041BD UL-recognized, and what is the file number?
Yes, the TPS2041BD is UL Recognized under file number E169910. This certification confirms compliance with UL 60950-1 and UL 62368-1 for information technology and audio/video equipment, supporting end-product safety approvals in commercial and industrial applications without requiring additional component-level testing.
