Product details
Overview
TPS2068EDBVR from Texas Instruments is a 1.5A current-limited, single-channel power-distribution switch in SOT-23-5 package, designed for USB and peripheral power rail protection. It features ±20% accurate fixed current limiting, 2µs overcurrent response, reverse current blocking, output discharge, and operates across 2.7V–5.5V input rails with –40°C to 85°C ambient range.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2068EDBVR datasheet, TPS2068EDBVR pinout, TPS2068EDBVR application, or TPS2068EDBVR equivalent, this device serves as a compact, thermally robust solution for short-circuit-prone 5V/3.3V load switching in space-constrained consumer and computing systems where predictable fault current and fast fault reporting are critical.
Technical Context
The TPS2068EDBVR integrates an N-channel MOSFET power switch with internal charge pump for gate drive, enabling low RDS(ON) (70–105 mΩ) without external components. Its constant-current limit mode activates when load exceeds 1.5A, maintaining safe fault current regardless of output voltage collapse.
Functional blocks include deglitched active-low FLT reporting (8ms filter), undervoltage lockout (2.6V turn-on threshold with 75mV hysteresis), and soft-start via controlled rise/fall times (0.4–1.5ms). Thermal shutdown engages at 135–175°C during sustained overload, with 10°C hysteresis for recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max continuous current | 1.5 A - fixed current limit ensures predictable fault behavior under short circuit |
| RDS(ON) | 70–105 mΩ - low conduction loss enables efficient 5V/3.3V rail switching |
| Overcurrent response time | 1.5 µs - rapid detection minimizes stress on upstream supply during hard shorts |
| Input voltage range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports USB-compliant and legacy 3.3V/5V system rails |
| Enable logic threshold | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 1.8 V - TTL/CMOS-compatible control with noise margin |
| FLT deglitch time | 6–12 ms - prevents false fault assertion during startup transients or ripple |
| Output discharge resistance | 400–810 Ω - safely drains load capacitance when disabled or in UVLO |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer end-equipment environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm footprint with exposed pad not present; thermal performance relies on PCB copper area connected to GND via pin 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (Pin 1) | Power-switch output | Connects to protected load; sinks up to 1.5A; includes integrated 500Ω discharge path to GND when disabled |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for power and logic; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| FLT (Pin 3) | Fault indicator | Active-low open-drain output asserted during overcurrent or overtemperature; requires external pull-up |
| EN/EN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Logic-high (≥1.8 V) enables switch; logic-low (≤0.8 V) disables with <1 µA quiescent current |
| IN (Pin 5) | Power input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V supply; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed current limit accuracy | ±20% tolerance ensures consistent trip point across voltage/temperature without calibration |
| Reverse current blocking | Prevents backflow from OUT to IN when disabled - eliminates need for external blocking diode |
| Built-in soft start | Controlled output rise time (0.4–1.5 ms) limits inrush current into heavy capacitive loads like USB hubs |
| UL Listed & CB File E169910 | Meets safety certification requirements for end-equipment compliance in commercial applications |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Auto-recovery after 10°C cooldown prevents latch-up during intermittent overload 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2069EDBVR | Same 1.5A current limit and SOT-23-5 package, but uses active-high enable (EN) instead of active-low (EN) | Requires inverted control signal logic; otherwise identical USB/peripheral use cases | Select when system MCU GPIO defaults to low-active or when synchronizing multiple switches with shared enable polarity |
| TPS2000EDBVR | 2A rated current, same package and feature set, higher RDS(ON) (70–105 mΩ vs. 87 mΩ typ. at 5V) | Supports higher-load peripherals (e.g., powered hubs); less suitable for strict 1.5A-limited designs | Choose when future-proofing for increased load current or when margin above 1.5A is required for derating |
Compared with TPS2068EDBVR, TPS2069EDBVR offers identical protection and packaging but differs only in enable polarity-making it a direct functional alternative where control logic allows inversion-while TPS2000EDBVR provides higher current capacity at the cost of slightly reduced efficiency, serving applications needing headroom beyond 1.5A.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS2068EDBVR?
The TPS2068EDBVR has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 6 V. However, its recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Operation above 5.5 V risks permanent damage and violates the device's specified safe operating area, even if brief. The TPS2068EDBVR is intended for standard USB and low-voltage logic rails-not for higher-voltage industrial supplies.
Does the TPS2068EDBVR require an external pull-up resistor on the FLT pin?
Yes, the TPS2068EDBVR FLT pin is an active-low open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor to a valid logic-high voltage (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). Typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. Without this resistor, the FLT signal cannot assert a defined high state during normal operation, compromising fault monitoring functionality in the host system.
How does the TPS2068EDBVR handle reverse current flow from output to input?
The TPS2068EDBVR provides inherent reverse current blocking when disabled or in UVLO - no external diode is needed. This is achieved through internal circuitry that disconnects the N-channel MOSFET's body diode path. Reverse leakage is specified at 0 µA (typical) when VOUT = 5.5 V and IN is grounded, ensuring zero backfeed into upstream supplies during standby or fault conditions.
Can the TPS2068EDBVR be used in automotive applications?
The TPS2068EDBVR is not AEC-Q200 qualified and is rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation - suitable for commercial and industrial environments but not for under-hood automotive use. Its thermal shutdown threshold (135–175°C) and lack of automotive-grade qualification make it inappropriate for direct deployment in automotive power domains without additional system-level validation and derating.
What is the typical RDS(ON) of the TPS2068EDBVR at 3.3V input and 25°C junction temperature?
At 3.3 V input and 25°C junction temperature, the TPS2068EDBVR exhibits a typical RDS(ON) of 70 mΩ, with a maximum of 105 mΩ across –40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in Section 6.5 of the datasheet under "POWER SWITCH (TPS2068E, TPS2069E)" test conditions, ensuring low conduction loss and minimal voltage drop (<105 mV at 1.5 A) in 3.3V rail applications.
