Product details
Overview
TPS2221PWPR from Texas Instruments is a single-slot PC Card power-interface switch for parallel PCMCIA controllers, delivering programmable 3.3 V, 5 V, and 1.8 V to VCC and VPP/VCORE outputs with integrated current-limiting protection, thermal shutdown, and break-before-make switching in a 14-pin HTSSOP package. It supports CableCARD™ applications and operates across −40°C to 85°C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2221PWPR datasheet, TPS2221PWPR pinout, TPS2221PWPR application, or TPS2221PWPR equivalent, key selection criteria include its parallel interface (VD0–VD3), dual-output voltage routing (VCC/VPP-VCORE), 64 µA typical quiescent current at 3.3 V input, overcurrent reporting via open-drain OC pin, and compliance with PC Card standards for notebook, PDA, and digital camera host systems.
Technical Context
The TPS2221PWPR implements a parallel-control power switch architecture with four dedicated VD[3:0] inputs driving independent logic states for VCC and VPP/VCORE outputs. Each output path includes thermally compensated current limiting and UVLO monitoring per input rail (3.3VIN, 5VIN, 1.8VIN).
It features separate discharge resistors (0.1–0.5 kΩ) on both VCC and VPP/VCORE outputs, asynchronous SHDN_RST and OC signaling, and dual thermal shutdown thresholds (120°C for overcurrent-induced heating, 155°C for general junction protection), ensuring robust fault handling without host processor intervention.
Key Specifications

| Package | 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP), 5.0 mm × 6.4 mm × 1.2 mm, exposed thermal pad |
Pinout & Package
TPS2221PWPR uses a 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the index mark.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5VIN | 5-V input supply for VCC and VPP/VCORE outputs; must be present for 5-V operation |
| 2 | VD1 | Parallel control bit 1; part of 4-bit VD[3:0] word defining output state and voltage selection |
| 3 | 3.3VIN | 3.3-V input supply and mandatory chip power rail; device does not operate without this |
| 4,5 | VCC | Dual-pin output delivering switched 0 V / 3.3 V / 5 V to PC Card VCC terminals |
| 6 | 5VIN | Second 5-V input connection; tied internally to Pin 1 for redundancy and current sharing |
| 7 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuits and output discharge paths |
| 8 | SHDN_RST | Asynchronous active-low shutdown/reset; forces all outputs to Hi-Z and enables discharge |
| 9 | OC | Open-drain overcurrent status flag; pulled low during any output current-limit event |
| 10 | 1.8VIN | 1.8-V input for VPP/VCORE output; required only when 1.8-V card power is enabled |
| 11,12 | VPP/VCORE | Dual-pin output delivering switched 0 V / 1.8 V / 3.3 V / 5 V to PC Card VPP/VCORE terminals |
| 13 | VD3 | Parallel control bit 3; MSB of VD[3:0] control word |
| 14 | VD2 | Parallel control bit 2; completes 4-bit parallel interface for deterministic output configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Parallel 4-bit interface (VD0–VD3) | Enables deterministic, glitch-free output state selection without serial clock/data timing constraints |
| Independent VCC and VPP/VCORE switching | Allows simultaneous but distinct voltage delivery (e.g., 3.3 V to VCC, 1.8 V to VPP/VCORE) per PC Card spec |
| Break-before-make switching | Prevents cross-conduction and bus contention during voltage transitions between 1.8 V / 3.3 V / 5 V rails |
| Per-rail UVLO monitoring | Disables affected outputs if 3.3VIN, 5VIN, or 1.8VIN drops below threshold - prevents brownout-induced misoperation |
| Integrated output discharge (0.1–0.5 kΩ) | Ensures rapid, controlled ramp-down of VCC and VPP/VCORE when disabled - meets PCMCIA hot-swap safety requirements |
| Asynchronous SHDN_RST with internal pullup | Guarantees known Hi-Z state on power-up or system reset without external biasing components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PC Card power-switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2221PWP | No R suffix; same die, identical electrical specs, but supplied in cut-tape instead of reel | Same footprint and functionality; differs only in packaging format and minimum order quantity | Select TPS2221PWP for prototyping or low-volume builds where reel packaging is unnecessary |
| TPS2228PWP | Dual-slot serial-interface variant with 20-pin HTSSOP; supports two independent PC Card sockets via CLOCK/DATA/LATCH | Designed for dual-socket hosts (e.g., docking stations); incompatible pinout and control protocol | Choose TPS2228PWP only when expanding to dual-slot architecture - not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with TPS2221PWP, TPS2221PWPR offers identical performance in a tape-and-reel format optimized for automated SMT assembly, while TPS2228PWP provides dual-slot capability at the cost of increased pin count, serial interface complexity, and no pin compatibility.

FAQ
What is the function of the SHDN_RST pin on the TPS2221PWPR?
The SHDN_RST pin on the TPS2221PWPR is an asynchronous active-low input that simultaneously forces all VCC and VPP/VCORE outputs into high-impedance (Hi-Z) state and activates internal discharge paths. It features an internal pullup resistor, ensuring a defined Hi-Z default on power-up or system reset - eliminating need for external biasing. This pin serves dual role as both shutdown and hardware reset signal for deterministic power-state recovery.
Does the TPS2221PWPR support 1.8-V-only PC Cards?
Yes, the TPS2221PWPR supports 1.8-V-only PC Cards via its dedicated 1.8VIN input and VPP/VCORE output. When 1.8VIN is applied and appropriate VD[3:0] control bits are set, the device delivers regulated 1.8 V to the VPP/VCORE terminals while VCC remains unpowered or set to 3.3 V/5 V independently. The 1.8-V path has 69 mΩ typical rDS(on) and 500 mA current limit at TJ = 100°C - fully compliant with JEDEC JESD8-12A for low-voltage card operation.
How does overcurrent protection work on the TPS2221PWPR?
The TPS2221PWPR implements per-output current limiting with separate thresholds: VCC limits at 1 A (typ), VPP/VCORE limits at 500 mA (1.8 V/3.3 V) or 100 mA (5 V). Upon overcurrent detection, it linearly regulates output current rather than latching off, and asserts the open-drain OC pin low within 2–250 µs depending on rail voltage. The OC signal remains active until current falls below hysteresis threshold, enabling host-level fault logging without interrupting other outputs.
Can the TPS2221PWPR be used in place of the TPS2228PWPR?
No, the TPS2221PWPR cannot substitute for the TPS2228PWPR due to fundamental architectural differences: TPS2221PWPR is single-slot with parallel VD[3:0] control and 14-pin HTSSOP package, while TPS2228PWPR is dual-slot with serial CLOCK/DATA/LATCH interface and 20-pin HTSSOP. Their pinouts, control protocols, and output channel counts are incompatible - using one in place of the other would require PCB redesign and firmware changes.
What is the purpose of the dual VCC and VPP/VCORE output pins on the TPS2221PWPR?
The dual-pin VCC (Pins 4,5) and dual-pin VPP/VCORE (Pins 11,12) on the TPS2221PWPR directly mirror the PC Card standard's requirement for redundant power terminals: two VCC and two VPP/VCORE connections minimize contact resistance and voltage drop across the 68-pin connector. This design ensures stable, low-noise power delivery to the card while meeting PCMCIA mechanical and electrical specifications for hot-plug reliability and current sharing.
