Product details
Overview
TPS25974ARPWR from Texas Instruments is a 2.7V–23V, 7A, 9.8mΩ eFuse IC with circuit-breaker overcurrent protection, adjustable transient blanking timer (ITIMER), ±8% load current monitor accuracy, and adjustable overvoltage lockout (OVLO) response in 1.2μs. It operates across –40°C to +125°C and is used in server power rails and enterprise storage for robust input surge and short-circuit defense.
For engineers reviewing the TPS25974ARPWR datasheet, TPS25974ARPWR pinout, TPS25974ARPWR application, or TPS25974ARPWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its circuit-breaker mode (vs active limit), OVLO-only overvoltage response, PG/PGTH power-good signaling, dVdt slew control, and 10-pin HotRod™ QFN package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS25974ARPWR implements a precision analog current-limit threshold set by an external resistor on ILM, with circuit-breaker behavior triggering full output disable upon sustained overcurrent exceeding ILIM +30% for ≥2µs. Its OVLO function uses a resistor divider on Pin 2 to define a 1.2V reference-based threshold, enabling fast 1.2µs shutdown without clamping.
It integrates dual digital outputs: open-drain PG (power-good) with user-adjustable threshold via PGTH pin, and fault indication logic tied to internal protection events. Thermal shutdown activates at 154°C with 10°C hysteresis, and all protections support auto-retry recovery after fault clearance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 23V - supports wide-input industrial and computing rails; 28V absolute max prevents damage during transients. |
| Continuous Current Rating | 7A - maximum steady-state load current before thermal derating; validated at TJ ≤ 125°C. |
| RON | 9.8mΩ (typ.) - low conduction loss enables <100mW dissipation at 7A, reducing thermal stress in compact layouts. |
| Overcurrent Response | Circuit-breaker mode - latches off output until reset; distinct from TPS25970x's active current limit. |
| OVLO Response Time | 1.2µs (typ.) - ultrafast cutoff for input overvoltage events, minimizing downstream component stress. |
| Current Monitor Accuracy | ±8% (max) - enables reliable real-time load monitoring for system health diagnostics and telemetry. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and enterprise storage environments. |
Pinout & Package
TPS25974ARPWR uses a 10-pin HotRod™ QFN package (2.0mm × 2.0mm, 0.45mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation. The package supports automated optical inspection and high-density routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 5) | Power Input | High-side switch source node; accepts 2.7V–23V supply with 28V abs max rating. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Power Output | Switched output rail; voltage follows IN when enabled, clamped or cut off during faults. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 1) | Enable & UVLO Input | Active-high enable; resistor divider sets undervoltage lockout threshold (1.2V ref). |
| OVLO (Pin 2) | Overvoltage Lockout Input | Resistor divider sets OVLO threshold (1.2V ref); triggers 1.2µs shutdown on overvoltage. |
| PG (Pin 3) | Power-Good Output | Open-drain indicator asserted high when OUT is stable and PGTH threshold is exceeded. |
| PGTH (Pin 4) | PG Threshold Input | Analog input setting power-good activation level; referenced to internal 1.2V comparator. |
| dVdt (Pin 7) | Slew Rate Control | Capacitor-to-GND sets output turn-on slew rate; open for fastest rise time. |
| GND (Pin 8) | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and power circuits; must connect to system ground plane. |
| ILM (Pin 9) | Current Limit & Monitor | Resistor-to-GND sets ILIM (0.87A–7.7A); pin voltage provides analog IOUT monitor signal. |
| ITIMER (Pin 10) | Transient Blanking Timer | Capacitor-to-GND sets blanking interval allowing temporary >ILIM peaks before circuit-breaker action. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Circuit-Breaker Overcurrent Protection | Full output disable on sustained overload (>ILIM+30% for ≥2µs), preventing thermal runaway in fault conditions. |
| Adjustable Power-Good Signaling | PG output asserts only when VOUT exceeds user-defined PGTH threshold, enabling precise rail sequencing control. |
| Configurable Transient Blanking | ITIMER capacitor allows controlled tolerance of brief current surges (e.g., capacitor charging), avoiding nuisance trips. |
| Accurate Analog Load Monitoring | ILM pin delivers ±8% accurate current-sense voltage (105.5 µA/A typical gain), supporting closed-loop telemetry. |
| Fast OVLO Response | 1.2µs overvoltage lockout ensures sub-microsecond reaction to input surges, protecting downstream ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar eFuse applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS25970ARPWR | Active current limit mode (not circuit-breaker); no PG/PGTH pins; FLT-only fault reporting. | Preferred where constant-current foldback is required instead of latch-off behavior; unsuitable for PG-driven sequencing. | Select when continuous current regulation under overload is needed, not full shutdown. |
| TPS25974LRPW | Latch-off (non-auto-retry) overcurrent response; identical OVLO, PG/PGTH, and pinout. | Used where permanent fault isolation is mandated (e.g., safety-critical subsystems), requiring manual reset. | Choose for fail-safe systems needing irreversible trip until operator intervention. |
Compared with TPS25974ARPWR, TPS25970ARPWR offers active current limiting but lacks power-good signaling, while TPS25974LRPW provides identical protection features but with latch-off instead of auto-retry-making TPS25974ARPWR optimal for self-recovering, sequenced power systems.

FAQ
What protection modes does the TPS25974ARPWR support?
The TPS25974ARPWR supports circuit-breaker overcurrent protection (not active current limit), adjustable overvoltage lockout (OVLO) with 1.2µs response, fast-trip short-circuit detection (550ns), thermal shutdown at 154°C, and programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO). It does not support overvoltage clamping (OVC), which is exclusive to TPS25972x variants.
How is the current limit threshold set on the TPS25974ARPWR?
The current limit threshold (ILIM) on the TPS25974ARPWR is set by an external resistor (RILM) connected between the ILM pin and GND. RILM values from 715Ω to 6.65kΩ configure ILIM from 0.87A to 7.7A. The ILM pin also serves as an analog current monitor output with ±8% accuracy and 105.5 µA/A typical gain.
Does the TPS25974ARPWR provide power-good signaling?
Yes, the TPS25974ARPWR provides open-drain power-good (PG) signaling via Pin 3. PG asserts high when the output is fully enabled and the voltage at the PGTH pin exceeds its rising threshold (1.2V typ.). PGTH is configured using an external resistor divider, enabling precise rail validation before system boot.
What is the purpose of the ITIMER pin on the TPS25974ARPWR?
The ITIMER pin on the TPS25974ARPWR sets the transient overcurrent blanking interval using an external capacitor. During this interval, output current may exceed ILIM (up to 2× ILIM) without triggering circuit-breaker action-accommodating benign inrush or burst loads while maintaining protection against sustained faults.
Is the TPS25974ARPWR RoHS-compliant and certified for safety standards?
Yes, the TPS25974ARPWR is RoHS-compliant and carries UL 2367 recognition (File No. E339631) and IEC 62368-1 CB certification. These certifications validate its suitability for safety-critical end equipment including medical devices, enterprise servers, and industrial point-of-sale systems.
