Product details
Overview
TPS2042BDGNRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, current-limited, high-side power-distribution switch featuring two 70mΩ N-channel MOSFETs, 500mA continuous output per channel, thermal and short-circuit protection, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V. It serves as a fault-protected power gate in USB peripheral ports, hot-swap interfaces, and point-of-load distribution where heavy capacitive loads and transient overloads occur.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2042BDGNRG4 datasheet, TPS2042BDGNRG4 pinout, TPS2042BDGNRG4 application, or TPS2042BDGNRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include per-channel current limiting (0.75–1.25A), fast rise time (0.6ms typical), undervoltage lockout (2.0–2.6V threshold), deglitched OC reporting, and ultra-low standby current (≤1μA per channel).
Technical Context
The TPS2042BDGNRG4 integrates two independent high-side switches with internal charge-pump gate drivers enabling full enhancement down to 2.7V input-eliminating external components while controlling rise/fall times to suppress inrush surges. Each channel operates autonomously: EN1/EN2 enable logic-low inputs control OUT1/OUT2 respectively, and OC1/OC2 provide open-drain, active-low fault signals with 4–15ms deglitching.
Current limiting is implemented via constant-current foldback during overload or short-circuit events; thermal shutdown activates at 135°C junction temperature with 10°C hysteresis and automatic recovery. Internal UVLO prevents operation below valid supply voltage, and reverse leakage remains ≤0.2μA at 5.5V output-to-input reverse bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 500mA per channel - supports USB-compliant downstream ports and low-power peripherals without external current sensing. |
| rDS(on) | 70mΩ typical at 5V - minimizes conduction loss (≤17.5mW at 500mA) and self-heating in compact HVSSOP-8 packages. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V logic rails, and 5V USB VBUS without level-shifting. |
| Rise Time (tr) | 0.6ms typical - limits inrush di/dt into large capacitive loads (e.g., 100µF bus capacitance) to prevent supply droop. |
| Standby Supply Current | ≤1μA per channel - enables always-on power gating in battery-backed systems with negligible quiescent drain. |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 0.75A min / 1.25A max - provides accurate, temperature-stable current limiting across –40°C to 85°C ambient range. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 135°C trip, 125°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or PCB-level thermal runaway without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
HVSSOP-8 package (3.0mm × 3.0mm body, 0.65mm pitch); thermally enhanced PowerPAD™ internally connected to GND for PCB heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Primary return path for both channels and internal charge pump; must be connected to PowerPAD™ and system ground plane. |
| IN (Pin 2) | Power input | Common input rail for both high-side switches; accepts 2.7–5.5V with integrated UVLO. |
| EN1 (Pin 3) | Channel 1 enable | Logic-low input enables OUT1; no pull-up required - direct interface with microcontroller GPIO or PMIC sequencer. |
| EN2 (Pin 4) | Channel 2 enable | Logic-low input enables OUT2; independent control allows staggered power-up of dual-rail subsystems. |
| OC1 (Pin 5) | Channel 1 fault flag | Open-drain, active-low signal asserted during overcurrent or thermal shutdown; 4–15ms deglitch prevents false triggers. |
| OUT2 (Pin 6) | Channel 2 output | Switched power output for second load; rated for 500mA continuous, 70mΩ on-resistance. |
| OUT1 (Pin 7) | Channel 1 output | Switched power output for first load; electrically isolated from OUT2 but shares IN and GND. |
| OC2 (Pin 8) | Channel 2 fault flag | Independent open-drain fault indicator for OUT2; enables per-channel fault diagnostics in multi-load systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 70mΩ High-Side MOSFET | Reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in space-constrained HVSSOP-8 layout; eliminates need for external FETs and drivers. |
| Accurate Current Limit (0.75–1.25A) | Guarantees consistent trip behavior across voltage and temperature - avoids overdesign of downstream protection circuitry. |
| Deglitched OC Reporting | 4–15ms noise immunity prevents spurious fault interrupts during switching transients or ESD events. |
| No OC Glitch During Power-Up | Ensures clean system initialization - OC outputs remain high-Z until stable regulation is achieved, avoiding false host alerts. |
| UL Recognition (E169910) | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in industrial and consumer applications without additional testing. |
Applications
| USB Peripheral Port Protection | Hot-Swap Board Insertion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel power-switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2042BDRBR | Same electrical specs and pinout, but SON-8 package (3.0mm × 3.0mm) with bottom-exposed thermal pad instead of HVSSOP-8's side-exposed PowerPAD™. | Requires different PCB land pattern and reflow profile; better thermal performance (RθJB = 14.2°C/W vs 35.5°C/W) but less compatible with legacy HVSSOP footprints. | Select TPS2042BDRBR only when board-level thermal dissipation is critical and layout revision is feasible. |
| TPS2052BDGNR | Identical HVSSOP-8 package and pinout, but features logic-high enable (ENx = high to turn on) and higher current-limit threshold (1.55–2A). | Suitable for higher-power loads (e.g., motor drivers, LED arrays); incompatible with existing low-enable control logic without level-shifting. | Choose TPS2052BDGNR only when higher trip current is required and enable polarity can be accommodated in firmware/hardware. |
Compared with TPS2042BDGNRG4, TPS2042BDRBR offers superior thermal resistance but demands layout changes, while TPS2052BDGNR retains mechanical compatibility but alters enable polarity and current-limit behavior - neither is drop-in; both require validation of control logic and thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per channel for the TPS2042BDGNRG4?
The TPS2042BDGNRG4 supports 500mA continuous output current per channel under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, VI(IN) = 2.7–5.5V). This rating is validated across the full –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature range and accounts for thermal derating in the HVSSOP-8 package with proper PCB copper area.
Does the TPS2042BDGNRG4 support independent enable and fault reporting for each channel?
Yes, the TPS2042BDGNRG4 provides fully independent control and monitoring: EN1 and EN2 are separate logic-low enable inputs for OUT1 and OUT2, while OC1 and OC2 deliver dedicated open-drain, active-low fault signals for each channel - enabling precise per-load diagnostics and sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What is the purpose of the PowerPAD™ in the TPS2042BDGNRG4 HVSSOP-8 package?
The PowerPAD™ in the TPS2042BDGNRG4 is an exposed thermal pad on the underside of the HVSSOP-8 package, internally connected to GND. It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to the system ground plane to lower junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB = 35.5°C/W), improving power handling and reliability during sustained 500mA operation.
How does the TPS2042BDGNRG4 handle short-circuit events?
Upon detecting an output short, the TPS2042BDGNRG4 enters constant-current mode, limiting output current to 0.75–1.25A. If power dissipation causes junction temperature to reach 135°C, thermal shutdown disables the affected channel. Recovery occurs automatically once TJ falls to 125°C, and OC1/OC2 assert low to signal the fault condition with 4–15ms deglitching.
Is the TPS2042BDGNRG4 compliant with safety standards for end-equipment certification?
Yes, the TPS2042BDGNRG4 carries UL Recognition under File Number E169910, confirming compliance with UL 60950-1 and UL 62368-1 for insulation, flammability, and fault withstand - reducing certification burden for industrial, medical, and consumer products integrating this device.
