Product details
Overview
TPS2220APWPRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-slot CardBus™ power-interface switch IC designed for controlled 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V distribution to PC Card sockets. It integrates dual-channel VCC/VPP switching, break-before-make logic, thermal shutdown (135°C), current-limit protection (1 A xVCC / 100 mA xVPP), and 140-µA typical quiescent current from 3.3-V input. It serves in notebook computers and digital cameras requiring compliant PC Card power management.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2220APWPRG4 datasheet, TPS2220APWPRG4 pinout, TPS2220APWPRG4 application, or TPS2220APWPRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package, independent VPP/VCC control, UVLO thresholds (2.4 V on 3.3V pin, 2.3 V on 5V pin), and fast 10 µs current-limit response on 5V-to-xVCC paths.
Technical Context
The TPS2220APWPRG4 implements a serial interface (CLOCK/DATA/LATCH) with TTL-compatible logic inputs and open-drain OC fault reporting. Its internal architecture includes dedicated UVLO and POR circuits that assert RESET internally below 1.7 V and force all switches to high-impedance state during undervoltage conditions.
It features dual-output discharge resistors (0.5–0.7 kΩ at xVCC, 0.2–0.4 kΩ at xVPP) and supports independent enable/disable of 5V and 12V supplies via SHDN and serial commands. The device operates across –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature and meets current PC Card™ standards for voltage regulation, timing, and fault response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range (3.3V) | 3 V to 3.6 V - required for all circuit operation; powers internal logic and enables switching |
| rDS(on) (3.3V → xVCC) | 85–110 mΩ at TJ = 25°C - ensures ≤85 mV drop at 750 mA load, meeting PC Card 5% regulation |
| rDS(on) (5V → xVPP) | 0.8–1 Ω at TJ = 25°C - supports 50 mA programming current with <0.5 V drop |
| Current Limit (xVCC) | 1 A steady-state - protects against short-circuit faults without external fuses |
| Current Limit Response Time | 10 µs on 5V-to-xVCC path - isolates faults before thermal damage occurs |
| Quiescent Current | 140 µA typical from 3.3-V input - minimizes standby power in battery-operated systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C ambient - validated for industrial and portable computing environments |
Pinout & Package
TPS2220APWPRG4 is housed in a 24-pin HTSSOP package (PWP), thermally enhanced with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments are defined for single-slot operation: AVCC/AVPP outputs serve one card socket; BVCC/BVPP pins are NC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 (5V) | Power Input | 5-V supply input for card power and internal circuitry; must be present for 5V output operation |
| 7, 20 (12V) | Power Input | 12-V input for xVPP switching; both pins require external connection per TI note C |
| 8 (AVPP) | Output | Switched 3.3/5/12-V output to card; 12 V enabled only when 12V pins are powered |
| 9, 10 (AVCC) | Output | Switched 3.3/5-V output to card; supports up to 750 mA per channel |
| 11 (GND) | Ground | Primary ground reference for power and logic sections; connects to thermal pad |
| 12 (RESET) | Input | Asynchronous active-low reset; internal pullup; forces Hi-Z on all switches when asserted |
| 13 (3.3V) | Power Input | 3.3-V input powering internal logic and enabling all functions; mandatory for operation |
| 15 (OC) | Output | Open-drain overcurrent flag; requires external pullup; sinks 10 mA max during fault |
| 21 (SHDN) | Input | Asynchronous active-low shutdown; internal pullup; disables all outputs and reduces IQ to 0.3 µA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Prevents cross-conduction during voltage transitions, eliminating bus contention in multi-voltage PC Card slots |
| Independent VPP/VCC control | Enables selective activation of programming (VPP) and operating (VCC) voltages-critical for flash memory erase/write sequences |
| UVLO with hysteresis (100 mV) | Ensures clean power-up sequencing and prevents erratic switching near supply thresholds |
| Thermal shutdown (135°C) | Protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking; 10°C hysteresis prevents oscillation |
| Serial interface (3-wire) | Reduces PCB routing complexity vs parallel control; supports daisy-chaining in multi-socket designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CardBus power-switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2223APWPR | Dual-slot variant with BVCC/BVPP outputs; no 12 V on AVPP (pin 7/20 NC); same PWP package | Required for two-socket hosts; lacks 12 V on primary slot but adds second slot capability | Select when designing dual-PCMCIA-host systems where 12 V is not needed on Slot A |
| TPS2224APWPR | Dual-slot with full 12 V support on both AVPP and BVPP; identical pinout and electrical specs to TPS2220APWPRG4 except for added BVxx pins | Supports two independent 12 V–capable slots; requires additional PCB routing for BVPP/BVCC | Choose for dual-slot notebooks needing full 12 V VPP on both slots, with shared 3.3 V/5 V inputs |
Compared with TPS2223APWPR and TPS2224APWPR, the TPS2220APWPRG4 offers lowest BOM count and layout simplicity for single-slot implementations, avoids unused BVxx pins and associated routing, and maintains identical thermal performance and fault response in its targeted use case.

FAQ
What is the function of the OC pin on the TPS2220APWPRG4?
The OC (Overcurrent) pin on the TPS2220APWPRG4 is an open-drain output that pulls low when any xVCC or xVPP output exceeds its current limit threshold. It requires an external pullup resistor and sinks up to 10 mA during fault conditions. This signal allows the host controller to detect and respond to overloads without polling, enabling rapid system-level fault isolation in applications like notebook computers using the TPS2220APWPRG4.
Does the TPS2220APWPRG4 support 12 V on both AVPP and BVPP outputs?
No. The TPS2220APWPRG4 is a single-slot device with AVPP (pin 8) and AVCC (pins 9,10) outputs only; BVPP and BVCC pins are marked NC in its pin table. Only the dual-slot variants TPS2224A and TPS2226A provide functional BVPP/BVCC outputs with full 12 V support. The TPS2220APWPRG4 uses pins 7 and 20 as 12 V inputs to enable AVPP 12 V output, consistent with its single-socket role.
How does the UVLO circuit behave on the 3.3V and 5V inputs of the TPS2220APWPRG4?
The TPS2220APWPRG4 features separate UVLO comparators: the 3.3V pin has a 2.4–2.9 V threshold with 100 mV hysteresis, disabling all switches if voltage falls below 2.4 V; the 5V pin has a 2.3–2.8 V threshold, disabling only 5V-related outputs (xVCC/xVPP sourced from 5V) while preserving 3.3V functionality. This staged shutdown ensures graceful degradation-critical in systems where 3.3 V may remain stable while 5 V sags, such as in the TPS2220APWPRG4's target applications.
Can the TPS2220APWPRG4 be used without connecting the 12V pins?
Yes. The TPS2220APWPRG4 operates fully with only 3.3 V and 5 V applied: 3.3V (pin 13) is mandatory for logic and bias; 5V (pins 1,2) enables 5 V xVCC/xVPP outputs. Pins 7 and 20 (12V) are optional-if unconnected, AVPP defaults to 3.3 V or 5 V only. This flexibility allows the same TPS2220APWPRG4 design to support both 12 V–capable and 12 V–optional PC Card slots without hardware change.
What is the purpose of the SHDN and RESET pins on the TPS2220APWPRG4?
SHDN (pin 21) is an asynchronous active-low shutdown input that disables all outputs and reduces quiescent current to ≤2 µA; it has an internal pullup. RESET (pin 12) is also asynchronous active-low and forces all switches to high-impedance while closing discharge paths-used for hard reset during initialization or fault recovery. Both pins have internal biasing, eliminating need for external resistors in most TPS2220APWPRG4 implementations.
