Product details
Overview
TPS2226ADB from Texas Instruments is a dual-slot CardBus™ power-interface switch IC designed for controlled 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V distribution to two PC Card sockets. It integrates independent VCC/VPP switching, break-before-make logic, thermal shutdown (135°C), fast current-limit response (3 µs for 12 V), and open-drain overcurrent reporting (OC). Used in notebook computers and CableCARD™ host systems requiring compliant PC Card power management.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2226ADB datasheet, TPS2226ADB pinout, TPS2226ADB application, or TPS2226ADB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated 24-pin HTSSOP package mapping, confirmed dual-slot power sequencing behavior, and real-world timing values including 0.26 ms rise time on 12 V xVPP and 2.35 ms fall time on 5 V xVCC under 150 µF load.
Technical Context
The TPS2226ADB implements dual-channel MOSFET-based power switching with separate control paths for AVCC/AVPP (Slot A) and BVCC/BVPP (Slot B), each supporting 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V outputs. Its serial interface (CLOCK/DATA/LATCH) enables programmable slot enable/disable and voltage selection without external logic.
Internal protection includes per-channel current limiting (1 A steady-state on xVCC, 100 mA on xVPP at TJ = 100°C), thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis, UVLO on 3.3 V (2.7 V threshold), and power-on reset (POR) asserting RESET below 1.7 V. All switches enter high-impedance state during UVLO or SHDN assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| rDS(on) 5V→xVCC | 110 mΩ typical at TJ = 25°C - ensures ≤0.825 V drop at 7.5 A peak per PC Card spec |
| rDS(on) 12V→xVPP | 2.5 Ω typical at TJ = 25°C - supports 100 mA programming current with ≤0.25 V drop |
| Current limit xVCC | 1 A steady-state - meets PC Card 5 V average current requirement (1 A max) |
| Current limit xVPP | 100 mA steady-state at TJ = 100°C - satisfies flash memory VPP programming compliance |
| Quiescent current | 140 µA typical from 3.3 V - enables low-power standby in portable systems |
| Thermal shutdown | 135°C trip point with 10°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload |
| Propagation delay xVPP | 0.26 ms rise time (12 V, CL = 0.1 µF) - ensures safe power ramping per CardBus timing |
Pinout & Package
TPS2226ADB is housed in a 24-pin HTSSOP (DB) package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal dissipation in space-constrained notebook designs. Pin pitch is 0.65 mm; body dimensions are 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 30 | 5V input | Primary 5 V supply for both slots; must be present for all operations |
| 7, 24 | 12V input | External 12 V source for xVPP outputs; pins require external connection |
| 8 | AVPP output | Switched 12 V/5 V/3.3 V output for Slot A VPP; high-Z when disabled |
| 9, 10, 11 | AVCC output | Switched 5 V/3.3 V output for Slot A VCC; supports dual-voltage card detection |
| 20, 21, 22 | BVCC output | Switched 5 V/3.3 V output for Slot B VCC; independent of Slot A control |
| 23 | BVPP output | Switched 12 V/5 V/3.3 V output for Slot B VPP; shares 12V input with AVPP |
| 3, 4, 5 | DATA/CLOCK/LATCH | 3-wire serial interface for slot configuration; LATCH has internal pulldown |
| 12 | RESET input | Asynchronous active-low reset; internal pullup; asserts POR below 1.7 V |
| 14 | SHDN input | Asynchronous active-low shutdown; places all outputs in high-impedance state |
| 15 | OC output | Open-drain overcurrent flag; requires external pullup; sinks 10 mA max |
| 18 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuits and switch returns |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent VPP/VCC switching | Enables simultaneous or staggered power-up of VCC and VPP per slot - required for PC Card initialization sequence |
| Break-before-make switching | Prevents short-circuit transients during voltage transitions between 3.3 V/5 V/12 V - eliminates need for external sequencing logic |
| Faster current-limit response | 3 µs response on 12 V xVPP (vs. older TPS222x) - isolates faults before damage occurs in flash-programming circuits |
| Integrated discharge paths | 0.4 kΩ typical discharge resistance on xVCC/xVPP - ensures rapid voltage decay after shutdown per CardBus safety requirements |
| TTL-compatible logic inputs | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - interfaces directly with standard 3.3 V microcontrollers without level-shifting |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2224ADB | Same 24-pin HTSSOP package; identical pinout; no 12 V support on xVPP outputs (12V pins NC) | Restricted to 3.3 V/5 V-only cards (e.g., modem-only notebooks); cannot drive flash memory requiring 12 V VPP | Select when system uses only 3.3 V/5 V PC Cards and cost reduction is prioritized over 12 V flexibility |
| TPS2226APWP | 30-pin SSOP package; same electrical specs; larger footprint (11.6 mm × 5.3 mm) and higher thermal rating (1095 mW vs. 890 mW) | Suitable for industrial designs requiring enhanced thermal margin or legacy SSOP layout compatibility | Select when board space allows larger package and higher continuous power dissipation is needed for extended ambient temperatures |
Compared with TPS2224ADB, TPS2226ADB adds full 12 V VPP capability essential for flash-programmable cards, while TPS2226APWP offers superior thermal performance in constrained airflow environments - neither is pin-compatible with TPS2226ADB due to differing pin counts and layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by TPS2226ADB on its 12 V xVPP channel?
The TPS2226ADB supports a steady-state short-circuit current limit of 100 mA on each xVPP output (AVPP and BVPP) at TJ = 100°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is designed to meet PC Card Standard requirements for flash memory programming voltage (VPP) delivery while maintaining thermal stability. The device will enter current-limit mode and report fault via OC pin if load exceeds this threshold.
Does TPS2226ADB support independent control of VCC and VPP for each slot?
Yes, TPS2226ADB provides fully independent VCC and VPP switching for both Slot A (AVCC/AVPP) and Slot B (BVCC/BVPP) through its 11-bit serial interface. Each output can be enabled/disabled and configured for 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V independently - satisfying the CardBus specification requirement for per-slot voltage arbitration and safe power sequencing during card insertion.
What is the purpose of the OC pin on TPS2226ADB, and how should it be interfaced?
The OC (Overcurrent) pin on TPS2226ADB is an open-drain output that pulls low when any xVCC or xVPP channel exceeds its current-limit threshold. It requires an external pullup resistor (typically 10 kΩ to 3.3 V) and connects directly to a host microcontroller's interrupt or GPIO pin. The TPS2226ADB datasheet specifies a 10 mA sink capability, enabling direct interface without additional buffering.
Can TPS2226ADB operate without a 12 V supply connected?
Yes, TPS2226ADB operates normally with only 3.3 V and 5 V supplies applied. The 12 V inputs (pins 7 and 24) are optional and only required when driving cards needing 12 V VPP. If unused, these pins must be left unconnected (NC), as confirmed in the Terminal Functions table. All other functions - including 3.3 V/5 V VCC and VPP delivery - remain fully operational.
What thermal protection mechanisms does TPS2226ADB include, and how do they behave?
TPS2226ADB incorporates thermal shutdown with a rising-temperature trip point of 135°C and 10°C hysteresis. When junction temperature exceeds 135°C, all power switches enter high-impedance state and OC remains asserted until temperature falls below 125°C. This behavior is documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections and applies uniformly across all output channels.
