Product details
Overview
TPS259814LRPWR from Texas Instruments is a 2.7V–16V, 10A, 6mΩ eFuse IC with latch-off overcurrent response, adjustable transient blanking timer (ITIMER), and integrated power path protection. It delivers fast short-circuit protection (640ns typical), ±10% current limit accuracy above 5A, and operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature for server power rails and optical module supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS259814LRPWR datasheet, TPS259814LRPWR pinout, TPS259814LRPWR application, or TPS259814LRPWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its latch-off fault behavior (vs auto-retry variants), 10-pin QFN package thermal performance (RθJA = 49.7°C/W), programmable ILIM (1.5A–11A), and dual enable/UVLO/OVLO pin functionality enabling flexible system-level sequencing and surge protection.
Technical Context
The TPS259814LRPWR implements a latch-off circuit-breaker overcurrent response mode-once triggered, it holds OFF until manually reset via EN/UVLO pin cycling. Its transient overcurrent blanking timer (ITIMER) allows controlled peak currents up to 2×ILIM during steady-state without tripping, set by an external capacitor to GND on pin 10.
It integrates dual analog inputs (EN/UVLO and EN/OVLO) that serve as both undervoltage lockout and overvoltage lockout thresholds, respectively, with independent 1.2V nominal thresholds and sub-100mV hysteresis. The device uses internal current-sense amplification and thermal shutdown (TSD = 154°C, 10°C hysteresis) for robust fault containment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 16V - supports wide-input industrial and server rails; absolute max 20V prevents damage during transients. |
| Continuous Current Rating | 10A - verified at TJ ≤ 125°C with RON ≤ 8.4mΩ across full temp/voltage range, enabling high-efficiency power delivery. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 6mΩ typical at 25°C - minimizes conduction loss (≤ 600mW at 10A), critical for thermal management in dense PCB layouts. |
| Overcurrent Response | Latch-off - ensures persistent fault isolation in safety-critical systems; requires explicit EN/UVLO toggle to recover. |
| Short-Circuit Response Time | 640ns typical - enables protection against destructive arc faults before trace fusing or board damage occurs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for enterprise networking, industrial PC, and UHDTV environments with sustained thermal stress. |
| Package | 10-pin HotRod™ QFN (2mm × 2mm, 0.45mm pitch) - low-inductance, thermally enhanced footprint for high-current switching integrity. |
Pinout & Package
TPS259814LRPWR uses a 10-pin, 2mm × 2mm HotRod™ QFN (RPW) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is top-left corner (IN), pin numbering proceeds counterclockwise. Thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal RθJB = 15.7°C/W performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Power Input | Main input supply connection; rated for 20V absolute max; feeds internal FET source and UVLO/OVLO comparators. |
| 2 EN/OVLO | Analog Input | Configurable as active-low enable or adjustable OVLO threshold (1.2V nominal); resistor divider sets trip point. |
| 3 PG | Digital Output | Open-drain Power Good signal asserted high when FET is fully ON and VOUT ≥ VIN − 0.6V; de-glitched (14µs). |
| 4 FLT | Digital Output | Active-low open-drain fault indicator pulled low on overcurrent, overvoltage, or thermal shutdown; internal 12.57Ω pulldown. |
| 5 OUT | Power Output | Switched output node; connects to load; supports quick discharge (RQOD = 488Ω typical) when disabled. |
| 6 GND | Ground Reference | System ground return for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to thermal pad and PCB ground plane. |
| 7 dVdt | Analog Output | Capacitor-to-GND sets output slew rate (SRON = 0.78–19.71 V/ms); floating for fastest turn-on; no reverse-blocking in L-variant. |
| 8 ILM | Analog I/O | Sets ILIM threshold (1.5–11A) via RILM to GND; also provides ±10% accurate analog current monitor (IMON = 95.3 µA/A). |
| 9 ITIMER | Analog Output | Capacitor-to-GND configures blanking interval for transient overcurrent; open for immediate fast-trip response (640ns). |
| 10 EN/UVLO | Analog Input | Active-high enable with adjustable UVLO (1.2V nominal); resistor divider from IN to GND sets rising/falling thresholds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latch-off fault response | Ensures permanent isolation after overcurrent event-eliminates uncontrolled auto-retry cycles in mission-critical power domains. |
| Adjustable transient blanking timer (ITIMER) | Allows temporary current peaks up to 2×ILIM without tripping, improving system resilience to startup surges or burst-mode loads. |
| Dual-function EN/UVLO and EN/OVLO pins | Enables single-resistor-divider configuration for both input undervoltage lockout and overvoltage lockout, reducing BOM count. |
| ±10% current limit accuracy (ILIM > 5A) | Guarantees precise protection margin across voltage, temperature, and process variation-critical for predictable fault coverage. |
| Integrated quick output discharge (RQOD = 488Ω) | Drains output capacitance rapidly upon disable, preventing backfeed and ensuring safe hot-swap sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar eFuse protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS259814ARPWR | Auto-retry overcurrent response instead of latch-off; identical pinout, RON, and timing specs. | Suitable where automatic recovery after transient overload is acceptable (e.g., non-safety-critical peripherals). | Select if system firmware can handle retry coordination and fault logging; avoid where persistent isolation is required post-fault. |
| TPS25942ARVCR | Lower 5.5A rating, 12V max input, different 16-pin WQFN package; includes reverse-current blocking FET driver. | Targeted at lower-power embedded systems needing bidirectional current control and smaller footprint. | Choose only if reverse-current blocking is mandatory and 10A/16V capability is unnecessary; not pin-compatible. |
Compared with TPS259814LRPWR, the TPS259814ARPWR offers identical protection features but auto-retries after fault clearance-making it unsuitable for fail-safe isolation. The TPS25942ARVCR trades current capacity and voltage range for reverse-blocking capability and a larger package, limiting direct substitution in high-density 10A designs.

FAQ
What is the overcurrent protection behavior of TPS259814LRPWR?
The TPS259814LRPWR implements a latch-off overcurrent response: once the current exceeds the programmed ILIM threshold (1.5A–11A), the internal FET turns OFF and remains latched until the EN/UVLO pin is cycled low then high. This prevents automatic re-enabling during persistent faults, ensuring safe isolation in critical systems.
How does the ITIMER pin function in TPS259814LRPWR?
The ITIMER pin on TPS259814LRPWR accepts an external capacitor to GND that sets the duration of the transient overcurrent blanking window. During this interval, output current may exceed ILIM (up to 2×ILIM) without triggering a fault-enabling tolerance of benign load transients while preserving fast 640ns short-circuit response when needed.
Can TPS259814LRPWR drive an external FET for reverse-current blocking?
No. The TPS259814LRPWR does not support reverse-current blocking FET drive. That feature is exclusive to the TPS259813x variants (e.g., TPS259813LRPW). On TPS259814LRPWR, the dVdt pin is dedicated solely to slew-rate control and must not be used for external FET gate drive.
What is the thermal performance of TPS259814LRPWR in its QFN package?
TPS259814LRPWR in the 10-pin HotRod™ QFN (RPW) package achieves RθJA = 49.7°C/W on a 4-layer PCB with thermal vias, and RθJB = 15.7°C/W to the board. Its thermal shutdown activates at TJ = 154°C with 10°C hysteresis, enabling reliable operation at 10A continuous current within the –40°C to +125°C junction range.
How do the EN/UVLO and EN/OVLO pins differ in function on TPS259814LRPWR?
EN/UVLO is an active-high enable input with a 1.2V nominal UVLO threshold; pulling it below 1.09V disables the device. EN/OVLO serves dual roles: as an active-low enable (low = ON) or as an adjustable OVLO input with the same 1.2V threshold-configured via external resistor dividers. Both require termination; neither may float.
