Product details
Overview
TPS2051BDGN 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 robust load switch in USB-powered peripherals and embedded systems with heavy capacitive loads.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2051BDGN datasheet, TPS2051BDGN pinout, TPS2051BDGN application, or TPS2051BDGN 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 fault reporting, and ultra-low 1μA standby supply current - all critical for reliable hot-swap and inrush control in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TPS2051BDGN 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 fault conditions.
Thermal shutdown engages at 135°C junction temperature and recovers automatically at 125°C with 10°C hysteresis. The device remains disabled until valid input voltage is present, and OC assertion is deglitched for 4–15ms to prevent false triggers during transient events like power-up or load switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 500 mA - supports sustained load delivery without derating under 85°C ambient |
| rDS(on) | 70 mΩ (typ) at 5V - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in 5V rail applications |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.75 A min / 1.25 A max - ensures predictable overcurrent response across temperature and voltage |
| 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 (typ) - controls inrush dI/dt to limit stress on upstream regulators and bulk capacitance |
| Standby Supply Current | 1 μA - enables always-on power management without measurable battery drain |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded environments |
Pinout & Package
HVSSOP-8 (DGN) package: 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body, exposed PowerPAD™ thermally connected to GND for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path; PowerPAD™ must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity |
| IN | Power input | Accepts 2.7–5.5V supply; feeds internal charge pump and high-side switch |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control (VIH ≥ 2V); enables/disables output with no external pull-up required |
| OC | Open-drain fault output | Active-low overcurrent indicator; deglitched 4–15ms; requires external pull-up for MCU interrupt |
| OUT | Switched power output | Drives downstream load; internally limited to safe current during shorts or overload |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated charge pump | Enables full MOSFET enhancement from 2.7V input - eliminates need for external gate-drive circuitry |
| Accurate current limit | Guaranteed 0.75–1.25A window ensures consistent trip behavior across voltage, temperature, and process variation |
| OC deglitching | 4–15ms filtering prevents false fault reporting during benign transients like capacitor charging or ESD events |
| Thermal shutdown recovery | Automatic restart at 125°C after cooling - avoids manual reset while preventing latch-up damage |
| UL Recognition | E169910 certified - meets safety requirements for end-equipment compliance without additional isolation |
Applications
| USB Peripheral Power Switching | Industrial Sensor Node Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Hot-plug USB devices (keyboards, hubs, dongles) powered from host 5V rail with large decoupling capacitance. IC Role / Device Role: High-side load switch managing inrush current and isolating faults from upstream USB controller.

Use Value: UL E169910 recognition supports regulatory submission; thermal shutdown prevents hazardous overheating during cable fault conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-distribution switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2041BDGN | Same HVSSOP-8 package and pinout; active-low EN (vs active-high for TPS2051B); identical rDS(on), current limit, and protection features | Requires inverted enable logic; otherwise drop-in in layout and BOM; suitable where system uses active-low control signals | Select TPS2041BDGN only if existing firmware/hardware drives EN low to enable - no change to thermal or electrical performance |
| TPS2051BDBVR | SOT-23-5 package (2.90mm × 1.60mm); same electrical specs and active-high EN; higher rDS(on) (95–140mΩ) due to smaller die | Used where board area is more constrained than thermal margin; lower power density increases junction temp rise under 500mA | Choose TPS2051BDBVR for ultra-compact designs accepting ~25% higher conduction loss; verify thermal performance with RθJA = 208.6°C/W |
Compared with TPS2041BDGN and TPS2051BDBVR, the TPS2051BDGN delivers optimal balance of low rDS(on), compact HVSSOP-8 footprint, and active-high logic compatibility - making it preferred for new 5V USB and industrial control designs where thermal headroom and control simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the TPS2051BDGN?
The TPS2051BDGN is rated for 500 mA continuous output current across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design using the exposed PowerPAD™ connected to a sufficient copper area. Exceeding this current may trigger current-limit mode or thermal shutdown depending on ambient conditions and load duration.
Does the TPS2051BDGN require an external gate driver or charge pump capacitor?
No, the TPS2051BDGN integrates a fully self-contained charge pump that generates the necessary gate voltage for its internal high-side N-channel MOSFET. No external capacitors or drivers are needed - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count while maintaining full switch enhancement down to 2.7V input.
How does the overcurrent (OC) pin behave during a short-circuit event on the TPS2051BDGN?
During a short circuit, the TPS2051BDGN enters constant-current mode and pulls the OC pin low within microseconds. The OC signal is deglitched for 4–15ms to reject noise, then remains asserted until the fault clears and the device recovers. Once the short is removed, the switch resumes normal operation automatically unless thermal shutdown has also been triggered.
What is the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold for the TPS2051BDGN?
The TPS2051BDGN features an undervoltage lockout with a rising threshold between 2.0 V and 2.6 V (typical 2.3 V), and hysteresis of 75 mV. This ensures the device remains disabled until the input rail is sufficiently stable, preventing erratic switching or incomplete turn-on during brownout conditions.
Can the TPS2051BDGN be used in battery-powered applications with strict quiescent current requirements?
Yes - the TPS2051BDGN draws only 1 μA of supply current in standby (output disabled), making it ideal for battery-powered systems requiring ultra-low power consumption during sleep or idle states. This value is guaranteed across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and does not increase with input voltage.
