Product details
Overview
TPS2041BDGNG4 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 power sequencing and fault isolation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2041BDGNG4 datasheet, TPS2041BDGNG4 pinout, TPS2041BDGNG4 application, or TPS2041BDGNG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its accurate 0.75A–1.25A current-limit threshold, 0.6ms typical rise time, undervoltage lockout (2.0–2.6V), deglitched OC reporting, and 1μA standby supply current - all critical for reliable hot-swap and inrush management in space-constrained 5V rail designs.
Technical Context
The TPS2041BDGNG4 integrates an internal charge pump to drive the high-side MOSFET gate, 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 fault conditions.
Thermal shutdown engages at 135°C junction temperature with 10°C hysteresis, and automatic recovery occurs after cooling to 125°C. Undervoltage lockout prevents switching below valid input voltage, and the deglitched OC output eliminates false triggers during power-up transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 500 mA - supports sustained loads such as USB peripherals, sensors, or small actuators without derating at 25°C ambient. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.75 A min / 1.25 A max - provides precise overcurrent protection with minimal trip variation across temperature and voltage. |
| RDS(on) | 70 mΩ (typ) at 5 V - minimizes conduction loss (≤17.5 mW at 500 mA), reducing thermal stress and PCB footprint requirements. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V logic rails, and standard 5V USB power buses. |
| Rise Time | 0.6 ms (typ) - controls inrush current into heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 100 µF downstream), preventing supply droop and bus reset. |
| Standby Supply Current | 1 µA - enables ultra-low-power system sleep modes without compromising fast wake-up capability. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
TPS2041BDGNG4 is packaged in an 8-pin HVSSOP (DGN) package measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm with exposed thermal pad. The package supports efficient heat dissipation via PowerPAD™ connected internally to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for power and logic; must be connected to PCB ground plane and PowerPAD™ for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| IN | Power input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V supply; feeds internal charge pump and high-side switch; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling. |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control (VIH ≥ 2 V); enables/disables output with no external pull-up required. |
| OUT | Switched power output | Drives load; features controlled slew rate to limit inrush; connects directly to downstream capacitance or load. |
| OC | Open-drain fault indicator | Active-low overcurrent signal; requires external pull-up; debounced (4–15 ms deglitch) to reject noise and startup transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated charge pump | Enables full MOSFET enhancement from 2.7V input - eliminates need for external boost circuitry or higher-voltage rails. |
| Accurate current limit | Guaranteed 0.75–1.25A window ensures predictable fault response across voltage, temperature, and process variation. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts off at 135°C and recovers at 125°C - prevents latch-up and enables autonomous fault recovery in sealed enclosures. |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | Prevents erratic switching below 2.0–2.6V - ensures clean enable/disable behavior during brown-out or battery discharge. |
| De-glitched OC output | 4–15 ms filtering rejects transient overloads (e.g., capacitor charging spikes), avoiding false system-level fault assertions. |
Applications
| USB Peripheral Power Switching | Industrial Sensor Node Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Hot-plug USB devices (e.g., HID keyboards, serial adapters) powered from a shared 5V rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side load switch controlling power delivery and isolating faults to prevent host port shutdown.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2041BDR | Same electrical specs; SOIC-8 package (4.90 × 3.91 mm), higher RθJA (119.3°C/W) than DGN (53.6°C/W). | Less thermally efficient in compact layouts; suitable where board area is less constrained than thermal budget. | Select TPS2041BDR only if SOIC footprint compatibility is required and thermal margin permits. |
| TPS2051BDGNR | Pin-compatible variant with active-high EN and identical DGN package; differs in enable polarity and OC assertion timing per family revision. | Requires firmware logic inversion on EN signal; OC behavior matches TPS205xB series timing profiles. | Choose TPS2051BDGNR only when migrating to TI's newer enable-polarity standard and verifying OC timing in system fault response. |
Compared with TPS2041BDGNG4, TPS2041BDR offers legacy SOIC compatibility but sacrifices thermal performance, while TPS2051BDGNR maintains identical packaging and footprint but mandates enable-signal rework and OC timing validation - making TPS2041BDGNG4 optimal for new designs prioritizing thermal efficiency and known enable polarity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the TPS2041BDGNG4?
The TPS2041BDGNG4 is rated for 500 mA continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C). This rating applies across the full input voltage range (2.7 V to 5.5 V) and ambient temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), with thermal derating required above 85°C ambient depending on PCB layout and airflow.
Does the TPS2041BDGNG4 require external components to operate?
No, the TPS2041BDGNG4 requires only two external capacitors: a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND for input decoupling, and optionally a pull-up resistor on the OC pin. Its integrated charge pump eliminates the need for external boost circuitry, enabling full functionality from a single 2.7–5.5 V supply.
How does the overcurrent (OC) pin behave during a short-circuit event on the TPS2041BDGNG4?
During a short circuit, the TPS2041BDGNG4 enters constant-current mode and pulls the OC pin low within 4–15 ms (deglitched). The OC pin remains low until the overload clears and the device recovers - either automatically after thermal cooldown or upon EN toggling. The open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10 kΩ) to interface with MCU GPIO.
What is the purpose of the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) feature in the TPS2041BDGNG4?
The UVLO feature disables the internal power switch when the IN voltage falls below 2.0–2.6 V (depending on temperature), preventing unstable operation, erratic switching, or partial turn-on that could cause shoot-through or excessive heating. It ensures clean, predictable enable/disable behavior during brown-out or battery discharge scenarios.
Can the TPS2041BDGNG4 be used in automotive applications?
The TPS2041BDGNG4 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is specified for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation - making it suitable for under-dash industrial or commercial automotive-adjacent applications (e.g., infotainment accessories, diagnostic tools), but not for under-hood or safety-critical vehicle subsystems requiring automotive-grade qualification.
