Product details
Overview
TPS2051BDBVT 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 hot-swap capability and robust fault management.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2051BDBVT datasheet, TPS2051BDBVT pinout, TPS2051BDBVT application, or TPS2051BDBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include its accurate 0.75A–1.25A current-limit threshold, 0.6ms typical rise time, 1μA standby supply current, undervoltage lockout (2.0–2.6V), and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS2051BDBVT integrates an internal charge pump to drive the high-side MOSFET gate, enabling full enhancement down to 2.7V input while controlling rise/fall times to suppress inrush current. Its deglitched OC output provides noise-immune overcurrent reporting without false triggers during power-up.
Under overload, it enters constant-current limiting; sustained faults trigger thermal shutdown at 135°C with 10°C hysteresis and automatic recovery. Internal UVLO ensures the switch remains off until valid input voltage is present, preventing erratic behavior during brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 500 mA - supports USB-compliant downstream ports and low-power peripheral rails |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.75 A min / 1.25 A max - enables precise fault detection without nuisance tripping |
| RDS(on) | 70 mΩ (D/DGN) / 95 mΩ (DBV) - determines conduction loss and self-heating under load |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with Li-ion, USB, and regulated 3.3V/5V system rails |
| Rise Time (tr) | 0.6 ms typical - limits inrush di/dt into heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 100 µF decoupling) |
| Standby Supply Current | 1 µA - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems |
| Thermal Shutdown | 135°C trip / 125°C recovery - protects against sustained short circuits and board-level overheating |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected internally to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Power input | Connects to 2.7–5.5V supply rail; feeds internal charge pump and switch FET source |
| OUT | Switched power output | Delivers current-limited, protected power to load; no external flyback diode required |
| EN | Enable input (active-high) | Logic-high (>2V) turns on switch; logic-low disables output and reduces quiescent current to 1 µA |
| OC | Open-drain overcurrent flag | Pulled low during current limit or thermal shutdown; requires external pull-up for host monitoring |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for power, control, and thermal path; must be low-impedance for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated charge pump | Enables full MOSFET enhancement from 2.7V input-no external components needed |
| Accurate current limit | Guaranteed 0.75–1.25A range eliminates need for external sense resistors or calibration |
| Deglitched OC output | 4–15ms filter prevents false fault reporting from transient spikes or switching noise |
| No OC glitch at power-up | Ensures clean initialization-host MCU can safely monitor OC without startup spurious asserts |
| UL Recognized (E169910) | Validated for end-equipment safety compliance in commercial and industrial applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-distribution switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2041BDBVR | Same SOT-23-5 package, but active-low EN and lower RDS(on) (70mΩ typ); no UL recognition | Requires inverted enable logic; suited for cost-sensitive designs without safety certification needs | Choose when EN polarity matches existing control logic and UL listing is not required |
| AP2171SG-13 | 500mA rating, 110mΩ RDS(on), 1.2µA quiescent, but no deglitched OC output or UL recognition | Lacks fault debouncing-requires external RC filtering for noisy environments | Select for compact footprint and basic current limiting where OC reliability is secondary |
Compared with TPS2041BDBVR and AP2171SG-13, the TPS2051BDBVT offers guaranteed active-high enable timing, UL safety recognition, and hardware-deglitched OC reporting-critical for certified industrial and USB-compliant designs where fault integrity and regulatory compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the TPS2051BDBVT?
The TPS2051BDBVT supports 500 mA continuous output current. This rating is maintained across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and input voltage range (2.7 V to 5.5 V). The device enters constant-current limiting if load demand exceeds this value, protecting both itself and the downstream circuitry. Peak short-circuit current is specified between 0.75 A and 1.25 A depending on junction temperature and input voltage.
Does the TPS2051BDBVT require external components for basic operation?
No, the TPS2051BDBVT operates autonomously with no external components required for core functionality. Its integrated charge pump eliminates the need for external gate-drive circuitry, and the deglitched OC output functions with only a single external pull-up resistor. Input and output capacitors are recommended per layout guidelines but are not part of the IC's internal functional block.
How does the TPS2051BDBVT handle thermal overload conditions?
When power dissipation causes junction temperature to reach 135°C, the TPS2051BDBVT activates thermal shutdown, turning off the internal MOSFET and pulling the OC pin low. Recovery occurs automatically once the die cools to approximately 125°C (10°C hysteresis). This behavior is independent of enable state and ensures protection even during sustained short-circuit faults.
What is the purpose of the deglitched OC output in the TPS2051BDBVT?
The deglitched OC output in the TPS2051BDBVT filters transient overcurrent events with a 4–15 ms blanking window, preventing false fault assertions caused by inrush surges or noise. This allows host microcontrollers to reliably detect only sustained faults-not momentary spikes-reducing unnecessary system resets or error logging. The OC pin is open-drain and requires an external pull-up resistor.
Is the TPS2051BDBVT UL-recognized, and what does that mean for system design?
Yes, the TPS2051BDBVT carries UL Recognition under file E169910. This certification validates its construction, isolation, and fault-handling performance for use in end equipment seeking UL/CSA safety approval. Designers can leverage this recognition to simplify system-level safety testing and reduce time-to-market for commercial and industrial products requiring regulatory compliance.
