Product details
Overview
TPS22950CDDCR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel adjustable current-limited load switch with 34 mΩ typical RON at 5 V, 3.2-A maximum continuous output current, auto-retry overcurrent response, always-on reverse current blocking, and integrated fault indication (FLT). It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V input and is used in power rail sequencing for portable computing peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the TPS22950CDDCR datasheet, TPS22950CDDCR pinout, TPS22950CDDCR application, or TPS22950CDDCR equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable ILIM range (0.5–3.5 A), thermal shutdown (170°C), quick output discharge (150 Ω), smart ON-pin pulldown (500 kΩ), and SOT-23-6 (DDC) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS22950CDDCR integrates a low-RON N-channel MOSFET with precision current-sense amplifier and analog control logic to enforce programmable current limiting via external RILIM. Its auto-retry behavior cycles ON/OFF during sustained overloads until fault removal, while maintaining reverse current blocking when VOUT > VVIN.
It features active fault signaling through open-drain FLT pin (low during thermal shutdown or reverse current), slow turn-ON timing (800 µs at 5 V) to limit inrush, and smart ON-pin pulldown that disengages after VIH threshold is met-enabling direct interface with 1.8-V/3.3-V GPIO without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V–5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across USB, Li-ion, and regulated DC rails. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 3.2 A - enables high-current peripheral switching (e.g., SSD modules, display interfaces). |
| RON @ 5 V | 34 mΩ (typ.) - minimizes conduction loss (≤170 mW at 2.3 A), reducing thermal stress on PCB. |
| Current Limit Range | 0.5 A–3.5 A (adjustable via RILIM) - allows precise protection tuning for diverse loads without redesign. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 170°C (rising), 150°C (hysteresis) - provides robust self-protection during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Turn-ON Time @ 5 V | 800 µs (typ.) - controls inrush dI/dt to prevent input rail collapse during hot-plug events. |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Always-on, 44 mV activation threshold - prevents backfeed from downstream supplies without external diodes. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA (typ.) - enables ultra-low standby power in battery-backed systems. |
Pinout & Package
TPS22950CDDCR uses the DDC (SOT-23-6) package: 2.90 mm × 2.80 mm body, 0.95 mm max height, lead pitch 0.95 mm, 6-pin configuration with GND on pin 3 for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ON (Pin 1) | Digital enable input | Active-high control; smart pulldown (500 kΩ) prevents floating during power-up; compatible with 1.8-V logic. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Power input | Switch input node; accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires local 1-µF decoupling per layout guidelines. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground reference | Primary thermal and signal return; must connect to solid ground plane for RθJA = 104.8°C/W performance. |
| ILIM (Pin 4) | Current limit programming | Connects to GND via resistor to set ILIM (0.5–3.5 A); no external voltage source required. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Switched output | Delivers regulated load current; includes QOD (150 Ω) to discharge output within milliseconds when disabled. |
| FLT (Pin 6) | Fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during thermal shutdown or reverse current; requires external pull-up for host MCU monitoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable current limiting | 0.5–3.5 A via single external resistor - eliminates need for multiple fixed-limit switches in BOM. |
| Auto-retry overcurrent response | Self-cycling ON/OFF during sustained overload - maintains system visibility without latching off critical rails. |
| Always-on reverse current blocking | 44-mV activation threshold, 3-µs response - protects upstream sources without adding Schottky diode losses. |
| Quick output discharge (QOD) | 150 Ω (at 5 V) - discharges VOUT to <100 mV within ~1 ms, preventing unintended wake-up or latch-up. |
| Smart ON-pin pulldown | 500 kΩ typ. resistance, disengages at VIH - ensures reliable startup sequencing without external components. |
| Fault indication with open-drain FLT | Low-active signal during thermal shutdown or reverse current - enables real-time system-level fault logging. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS22950DDCR | Same DDC package but lower IMAX (2.7 A); ILIM range starts at 0.05 A (not 0.5 A); no UL 2367 certification. | Suitable for lower-current rails (e.g., sensor clusters) where wide ILIM tuning is needed but safety certification isn't required. | Select TPS22950DDCR only if 2.7-A rating suffices and sub-0.5-A current limiting is necessary. |
| TPS22975YFPR | 4-A rated, 19-mΩ RON, WSON-8 package; includes enable-controlled QOD disable; no reverse current blocking. | Better for high-efficiency, high-current rails (e.g., GPU memory) where reverse blocking is handled elsewhere. | Choose TPS22975YFPR when lower conduction loss and higher current headroom outweigh need for integrated RCB. |
Compared with TPS22950DDCR and TPS22975YFPR, the TPS22950CDDCR uniquely combines UL 2367 certification, 3.2-A capability, auto-retry behavior, and always-on reverse current blocking in a compact SOT-23-6 footprint-making it optimal for safety-critical, space-constrained portable power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the TPS22950CDDCR?
The TPS22950CDDCR has a maximum continuous output current rating of 3.2 A, as specified in Section 7.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the datasheet. This value is validated across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) and assumes proper PCB thermal design per the recommended layout guidelines.
Does the TPS22950CDDCR provide reverse current blocking, and how does it behave?
Yes, the TPS22950CDDCR provides always-on reverse current blocking with a 44-mV activation threshold and 3-µs response time. When VOUT exceeds VVIN, the device actively blocks reverse current flow through the internal FET-no external diode is required. This function remains active regardless of ON pin state.
How is the current limit adjusted on the TPS22950CDDCR?
The current limit on the TPS22950CDDCR is adjusted by connecting an external resistor (RILIM) between the ILIM pin and GND. Using the equation ILIM = 1.18 × (RILIM)–1.072, a 2.21-kΩ resistor sets a typical ILIM of 0.5 A, while a 610-Ω resistor yields ~2.0 A. The ILIM pin draws negligible current and requires no voltage source.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of the TPS22950CDDCR?
The TPS22950CDDCR triggers thermal shutdown at 170°C (rising) and resumes operation once junction temperature falls to 150°C (15°C hysteresis). During shutdown, the FLT pin is pulled low and VOUT is disconnected. The device automatically attempts restart after cooldown-consistent with its auto-retry overcurrent response.
Can the TPS22950CDDCR be used with 1.8-V GPIO control signals?
Yes, the TPS22950CDDCR supports 1.8-V GPIO directly: its ON pin VIH threshold is 1 V (min), and it features a smart pulldown (500 kΩ typ.) that holds the pin low during power-up. Once driven above VIH, the pulldown disconnects-eliminating static current draw and enabling seamless interface with low-voltage microcontrollers.
