Product details
Overview
TPS259461ARPWR from Texas Instruments is a bidirectional eFuse IC providing overvoltage, overcurrent, and thermal protection for 2.7–23 V power rails with 5.5-A continuous current capability, 28.3-mΩ on-resistance, and auto-retry fault response-designed for USB On-The-Go (OTG) power path control in smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the TPS259461ARPWR datasheet, TPS259461ARPWR pinout, TPS259461ARPWR application, or TPS259461ARPWR equivalent, key selection factors include its SPLYGD/FLT dual digital fault signaling, adjustable ILIM (0.5–6 A), 1.2-μs OVLO response, 500-ns short-circuit trip, and QFN 2 mm × 2 mm HotRod package with back-to-back FET architecture enabling reverse-current blocking.
Technical Context
The TPS259461ARPWR integrates complementary high-side and low-side MOSFETs to support bidirectional conduction during ON state and full reverse-current blocking during OFF state-critical for USB OTG host/peripheral role switching. Its protection logic combines active current limiting with scalable fast-trip (2×ILIM) and fixed 22.2-A short-circuit thresholds, plus programmable blanking via ITIMER capacitor.
Control is implemented through analog-configurable pins: EN/UVLO sets undervoltage lockout (1.20 V typ.), OVLO defines overvoltage threshold (1.20 V typ.), and ILM serves dual roles-setting current limit via RILM (549 Ω → 6.07 A) and outputting ±6% accurate analog load current monitoring. SPLYGD and FLT provide independent open-drain status signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 23 V-supports wide-input portable and industrial rails including USB PD and 12-V systems. |
| Continuous Current Rating | 5.5 A at TJ ≤ 125°C-enables robust power delivery to high-current peripherals without external heatsinking. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 28.3 mΩ typ. at 12 V, 3 A-minimizes conduction loss (<160 mW at 5.5 A) and self-heating in compact layouts. |
| Overvoltage Response Time | 1.2 μs typ.-cuts off output before transient surges damage downstream circuitry. |
| Short-Circuit Trip Time | 500 ns typ.-prevents destructive energy dissipation during OUT-to-GND faults. |
| Current Limit Accuracy | ±10% for ILIM > 1 A-ensures predictable foldback behavior across voltage, temperature, and process variation. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C-validated for automotive cabin, industrial, and consumer environments with thermal shutdown at 154°C. |
Pinout & Package
TPS259461ARPWR uses a 10-pin QFN (RPW) package with 2 mm × 2 mm body size, 0.45-mm pitch, and exposed thermal pad-optimized for thermal performance and PCB area efficiency in space-constrained designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Power input | Main supply rail connection; supports up to 28 V absolute max; feeds internal UVLO and OVLO comparators. |
| OUT | Power output | Protected load rail; bidirectional current path enabled only when device is ON; blocks reverse flow when disabled. |
| EN/UVLO | Analog enable/UVLO input | Active-high enable with adjustable undervoltage lockout (1.20 V typ.); resistor divider sets turn-on threshold. |
| OVLO | Analog overvoltage threshold input | Sets adjustable overvoltage lockout point (1.20 V typ.); also functions as active-low enable if needed. |
| SPLYGD | Digital supply-good output | Open-drain indicator asserted high when IN is valid and inrush completes-replaces PG in TPS259461x variant. |
| FLT | Digital fault output | Active-low open-drain signal pulled low on overcurrent, overvoltage, or thermal fault; enables system-level fault logging. |
| ITIMER | Analog blanking timer control | Capacitor-to-GND sets overcurrent blanking interval; allows temporary peaks up to 2×ILIM without tripping. |
| ILM | Current limit & monitor | Resistor-to-GND sets ILIM (549 Ω → 6.07 A); pin voltage provides ±6% accurate analog IOUT monitor signal. |
| dVdt | Slew rate control | Capacitor-to-GND adjusts output rise time (0.5–44.8 V/ms); prevents inrush-induced voltage droop or ringing. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return for all internal circuits and thermal pad; must be low-impedance connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional current support | Back-to-back FET architecture enables safe USB OTG role reversal while blocking reverse current in OFF state. |
| Auto-retry fault recovery | 110-ms retry interval after fault clearance-maintains system availability without manual reset or host intervention. |
| Adjustable slew rate control | dVdt pin accepts external capacitor to tune output rise time from 0.5 to 44.8 V/ms-eliminates need for discrete RC snubbers. |
| Dual digital fault signaling | SPLYGD confirms stable input and successful inrush; FLT asserts low on any fault-enables independent status monitoring. |
| UL 2367 & IEC 62368-1 certified | Recognized under UL File E339631 and CB-certified-reduces safety compliance effort for end equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar eFuse protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS259460ARPWR | Features Power Good (PG) and adjustable PGTH instead of SPLYGD/FLT; same ILIM range and protection specs. | Preferred where system requires power-rail validation timing (e.g., FPGA configuration sequencing) rather than discrete fault indication. | Select TPS259460ARPWR when PG threshold adjustment is needed; TPS259461ARPWR is optimal for fault isolation and logging. |
| TPS259472ARPWR | Higher 8.5-A rating, 18-mΩ RON, identical pinout and feature set except fixed 110-ms retry and no UVLO adjustability. | Better suited for high-power accessories (e.g., USB-C docks) requiring >5.5 A; lacks EN/UVLO resistor-divider flexibility. | Choose TPS259461ARPWR for design flexibility in mid-power OTG devices; upgrade to TPS259472ARPWR only if current headroom is critical. |
Compared with TPS259460ARPWR, TPS259461ARPWR trades PGTH configurability for dedicated SPLYGD/FLT signaling-enhancing fault diagnostics in resource-constrained hosts. Against TPS259472ARPWR, it offers lower cost and wider UVLO adjustability at the expense of current headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for TPS259461ARPWR?
The TPS259461ARPWR supports 5.5 A continuous current at junction temperatures ≤125°C, verified across the full 2.7–23 V input range. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design per TI's recommended layout with thermal vias under the exposed pad. Derating applies above 125°C per the device's thermal shutdown threshold of 154°C.
How does TPS259461ARPWR differ from TPS259460ARPWR in fault signaling?
TPS259461ARPWR replaces the PG/PGTH outputs of TPS259460ARPWR with SPLYGD (supply-good) and FLT (fault) pins-providing independent open-drain signals for input validation and fault event indication. This eliminates shared PGTH resistor dependencies and simplifies host MCU interrupt handling for fault diagnostics.
Can TPS259461ARPWR support bidirectional current flow in both ON and OFF states?
TPS259461ARPWR supports bidirectional current flow only in the ON state via integrated back-to-back FETs. In the OFF state, it blocks current flow in both directions-critical for USB OTG role reversal safety. Reverse current is never permitted during fault conditions or disable sequences.
What is the purpose of the ITIMER pin on TPS259461ARPWR?
The ITIMER pin on TPS259461ARPWR sets the overcurrent blanking interval using an external capacitor. This allows transient load currents up to 2×ILIM to pass without triggering current limit, preventing nuisance trips during normal operation-such as motor startup or capacitor charging-while retaining fast 500-ns short-circuit response.
Is TPS259461ARPWR certified for safety standards?
Yes, TPS259461ARPWR is UL 2367 recognized (File E339631) and IEC 62368-1 CB certified. These certifications validate its suitability for end-equipment safety compliance in consumer and industrial applications without requiring additional external protection components for basic insulation requirements.
