Product details
Overview
TPS2223ADBG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual-slot CardBus™ power-interface switch IC designed for controlled 3.3 V and 5 V distribution to two PC Card sockets. It integrates dual VCC and dual VPP switching paths, features 110 mΩ typical rDS(on) at 5 V→xVCC, 140 µA typical quiescent current from 3.3 V, thermal shutdown at 135°C, and break-before-make switching - enabling compliant power management in notebook computers and CableCARD™ host systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2223ADBG4 datasheet, TPS2223ADBG4 pinout, TPS2223ADBG4 application, or TPS2223ADBG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions for the 24-pin HTSSOP (DB) package, confirmed dual-slot PCMCIA power-switching capability without 12 V support, and validated alternatives for legacy CardBus interface designs.
Technical Context
The TPS2223ADBG4 implements two independent high-side power switches per slot (AVCC/BVCC for 3.3 V/5 V VCC; AVPP/BVPP for VPP), with separate logic-controlled enable via serial interface (CLOCK/DATA/LATCH) and asynchronous SHDN/RESET inputs. Its internal current-limit circuit responds in ≤10 µs to short-circuit faults on xVCC outputs and ≤3 µs on xVPP outputs, with steady-state limits of 1 A (xVCC) and 200 mA (xVPP) at TJ = 100°C.
UVLO thresholds are set at 2.7 V (3.3 V rail) and 2.5 V (5 V rail); POR asserts RESET internally below 1.7 V on VI(3.3V). All outputs enter high-impedance state during UVLO or shutdown, and discharge resistors (0.7 kΩ typical at xVCC, 0.4 kΩ at xVPP) actively pull down capacitive loads when disabled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| rDS(on) (5V→xVCC) | 110 mΩ typical - ensures ≤750 mV drop at 750 mA load, meeting PC Card 5% VO(reg) spec under worst-case PCB loss |
| IO(xVCC) limit | 1 A steady-state - supports peak current demands of 3.3 V/5 V PC Cards per slot without external fusing |
| IO(xVPP) limit | 200 mA steady-state - sufficient for 3.3 V/5 V VPP programming in flash-based cards; no 12 V support per datasheet note |
| Quiescent current | 140 µA typical from 3.3 V - enables low-power standby in battery-operated notebooks and PDAs |
| Thermal shutdown | 135°C trip point with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in compact enclosures |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C ambient - qualified for industrial and mobile computing environments |
| Logic compatibility | TTL-level inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - interfaces directly with standard 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers and CPLDs |
Pinout & Package
TPS2223ADBG4 is housed in a 24-pin HTSSOP (DB) package with exposed thermal pad, measuring 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the index mark.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 24 | 5V input | Primary 5-V supply input for both slots; must be decoupled locally per datasheet layout guidance |
| 3 | DATA input | Serial data line for configuring switch states (D0–D10); LSB-first, clocked on rising edge |
| 4 | CLOCK input | Serial interface clock; max 2.5 MHz; synchronizes DATA sampling and LATCH capture |
| 5 | LATCH input | Active-high signal that latches current DATA word into control register; internal pulldown |
| 7, 20 | NC | No internal connection - pins 7 and 20 are explicitly unused for TPS2223A per datasheet note |
| 8 | AVPP output | Switched VPP output for Slot A; supports 3.3 V or 5 V only (no 12 V capability) |
| 9, 10 | AVCC output | Switched VCC output for Slot A; delivers 3.3 V or 5 V to card VCC pins |
| 11 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuits and switch return paths |
| 12 | RESET input | Asynchronous active-low reset; internal pullup; forces all switches to Hi-Z and discharge on assertion |
| 13, 14 | 3.3V input | 3.3-V supply for chip logic and Slot A/B VCC switching; required for all operation |
| 15 | OC output | Open-drain overcurrent flag; sinks 10 mA max; requires external pullup to monitor fault conditions |
| 17, 18 | BVCC output | Switched VCC output for Slot B; identical function and rating to AVCC |
| 19 | BVPP output | Switched VPP output for Slot B; 3.3 V/5 V only, matching AVPP capability |
| 21 | SHDN input | Asynchronous active-low shutdown; internal pullup; places all switches in Hi-Z and disables logic |
| 22, 23 | NC | No internal connection - confirmed unused per Terminal Functions table |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-slot VCC/VPP switching | Independent control of AVCC/AVPP and BVCC/BVPP enables simultaneous or staggered power-up of two PC Cards |
| Break-before-make sequencing | Prevents cross-conduction between voltage rails during switching transitions, eliminating shoot-through risk |
| Integrated current limiting & thermal protection | Eliminates need for external fuses or discrete current-sense circuits in space-constrained CardBus hosts |
| Active discharge on disable | 0.7 kΩ (xVCC) / 0.4 kΩ (xVPP) internal discharge paths rapidly collapse output voltages, aiding hot-plug safety |
| Power-on reset with UVLO | Guarantees known Hi-Z state at power-up and during brownout; prevents undefined card power states |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-slot CardBus power-switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2224ADBG4 | Supports 12 V on AVPP/BVPP pins; otherwise identical pinout, logic, and switching specs | Required where legacy PC Cards demand 12 V VPP programming voltage | Select TPS2224ADBG4 only if 12 V VPP capability is needed; TPS2223ADBG4 reduces cost and complexity when 12 V is unused. |
| TPS2226APWPR | 30-pin SSOP package; adds third VCC/VPP channel and extended feature set including standby-mode support | Targeted at triple-slot or enhanced interface-mode host designs not supported by TPS2223ADBG4 | Choose TPS2226APWPR only for systems requiring >2 slots or advanced serial command features; not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with TPS2224ADBG4 and TPS2226APWPR, the TPS2223ADBG4 offers optimal cost and footprint for dual-slot hosts exclusively using 3.3 V/5 V VCC/VPP - eliminating unused 12 V circuitry and minimizing thermal dissipation in space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported load current per VCC channel on the TPS2223ADBG4?
The TPS2223ADBG4 provides a steady-state current-limit threshold of 1 A per xVCC output (AVCC and BVCC) at TJ = 100°C, with typical rDS(on) of 110 mΩ at 5 V input. This supports full PC Card 5 V peak current requirements while maintaining voltage regulation within ±5% under worst-case PCB trace resistance. The device also features fast current-limit response (<10 µs) to prevent damage during short-circuit events.
Does the TPS2223ADBG4 support 12 V VPP output?
No, the TPS2223ADBG4 does not support 12 V VPP output. Pins 7 and 20 are explicitly marked NC (no internal connection) for this variant, and the datasheet confirms "Optimized for lower power implementation, the TPS2223A does not support 12-V switching to VPP." AVPP and BVPP outputs are limited to 3.3 V or 5 V only - making it suitable for modern CardBus applications where 12 V is obsolete.
How does the TPS2223ADBG4 handle power sequencing during startup?
The TPS2223ADBG4 incorporates a power-on reset (POR) circuit that asserts internal RESET below 1.7 V on the 3.3 V input, forcing all switches into high-impedance state until stable supply is detected. Combined with UVLO thresholds (2.7 V on 3.3 V rail, 2.5 V on 5 V rail), this ensures deterministic startup behavior: all outputs remain off until both supplies meet minimum regulation, preventing partial or unsafe power application to PC Cards.
What is the purpose of the OC pin on the TPS2223ADBG4?
OC is an open-drain overcurrent reporting output on the TPS2223ADBG4 that pulls low when any xVCC or xVPP output exceeds its programmed current-limit threshold. It sinks up to 10 mA and requires an external pullup resistor. This pin enables system-level fault isolation - for example, a microcontroller can monitor OC to identify which slot experienced overload and initiate graceful shutdown or retry logic without disrupting the other slot.
Can the TPS2223ADBG4 be used in single-slot applications?
Yes, the TPS2223ADBG4 is fully compatible with single-slot implementations. Its dual-channel architecture allows either AVCC/AVPP or BVCC/BVPP to be used independently while leaving the other channel unconnected or configured inactive via serial interface. The device's 140 µA typical quiescent current and break-before-make switching ensure efficient, safe operation even when only one slot is populated - making it a flexible choice for scalable host designs.
