Product details
Overview
TPS259827ONRGER from Texas Instruments is a smart eFuse IC providing integrated hot-swap protection for 2.7V–24V power rails, featuring 2.7mΩ typical RON, ±1.5% accurate current monitoring (IOUT > 3A), circuit breaker response mode, and no overvoltage lockout (OVLO). It delivers robust short-circuit protection with <400ns fast-trip response and supports configurable fault recovery in server standby rail and PCIe add-on card applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS259827ONRGER datasheet, TPS259827ONRGER pinout, TPS259827ONRGER application, or TPS259827ONRGER equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-OVLO configuration, circuit breaker overcurrent response, adjustable ILIM (2A–15A), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and QFN-24 package compatibility with high-current PCB layout requirements.
Technical Context
The TPS259827ONRGER implements a precision current-limiting circuit breaker with dual-threshold detection: programmable ILIM (via RILIM) and fixed fast-trip at 210% ILIM. Its internal blanking timer (ITIMER) distinguishes transient load surges from hard faults, preventing nuisance tripping during inrush or line transients.
Configuration is fully analog: EN/UVLO sets undervoltage lockout via resistor divider; dVdt controls output slew rate with external capacitor; RETRY_DLY and NRETRY set auto-retry delay and count; LDSTRT enables handshake-based load validation. All fault responses-latch-off or finite/indefinite retry-are user-defined without firmware.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 24V - supports wide-range industrial and datacenter rails; 30V absolute max withstands surge events. |
| RON (typ) | 2.7mΩ - minimizes I²R loss and self-heating at 15A continuous, enabling compact thermal design. |
| Current Limit Range | 2A to 15A (set by RILIM) - covers low-power peripherals to high-current modules with ±8% accuracy above 5A. |
| Current Monitor Accuracy | ±1.5% (typ, 25°C, IOUT > 3A) - enables precise real-time load telemetry without external shunt amplifiers. |
| Fast-Trip Response | <400ns - shuts off output before fault energy damages downstream components during short-circuit events. |
| Overvoltage Lockout | No OVLO - eliminates clamping action, allowing unregulated input operation where upstream regulation is guaranteed. |
| Junction Temp Range | –15°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded systems with derated current. |
Pinout & Package
TPS259827ONRGER uses a 4mm × 4mm, 24-pin QFN package (RGE) with dual thermal pads (Pad 1 connected to IN, Pad 2 to GND) for optimal power dissipation and current handling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 1,2,3,16, Pad 1) | Power Input | High-current input node; thermal pad must be soldered to input plane for thermal management and current distribution. |
| OUT (Pins 17–24) | Power Output | Eight parallel output pins reduce trace resistance and inductance; supports up to 15A continuous with proper layout. |
| GND (Pins 4,5,14, Pad 2) | System Ground | Low-impedance return path; thermal pad provides additional heat sinking to PCB ground plane. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 6) | Enable / UVLO Input | Active-high enable with adjustable undervoltage threshold (1.2V typ); resistor divider sets turn-on voltage. |
| ILIM (Pin 8) | Current Limit Set | Connects to GND via resistor (100Ω–1650Ω) to program ILIM from 2A to 15A; also sets fast-trip threshold. |
| IMON (Pin 9) | Current Monitor Output | Sources 246µA/A (typ); convert to voltage with external resistor for analog current readback. |
| PG (Pin 13) | Power Good Indicator | Open-drain output asserted when FET is fully enhanced and VOUT ≥ VIN – 0.326V; requires external pull-up. |
| dVdt (Pin 15) | Slew Rate Control | Capacitor to GND sets output rise time; open = fastest slew; larger C = slower, controlled inrush. |
| ITIMER (Pin 7) | Blanking Timer | Capacitor to GND defines overcurrent blanking window; prevents false trips during transient overload. |
| RETRY_DLY (Pin 10) | Auto-Retry Delay | Capacitor to GND sets time between fault shutdown and next auto-retry attempt; tie to GND for latch-off. |
| NRETRY (Pin 11) | Retry Count Control | Capacitor to GND sets number of auto-retries; tie to GND for infinite retries after fault. |
| LDSTRT (Pin 12) | Load Detect Handshake | Capacitor to GND sets handshake timeout; pulled low by load within PG assertion window to maintain ON state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Circuit Breaker Response Mode | Hard disconnect on overcurrent (vs. active limiting), eliminating sustained fault current and thermal stress on MOSFET. |
| No Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO) | Omits internal OVP cutoff, enabling use in systems with upstream regulated supplies or external OVP supervision. |
| Adjustable Load Transient Blank Time | Configurable ITIMER capacitor allows system-specific tuning to ignore benign inrush while retaining fast fault response. |
| ±1.5% Accurate Current Monitoring | Enables closed-loop load diagnostics and predictive maintenance without calibration or external sensing components. |
| UL 2367 & IEC 62368 Certified | Meets safety standards for end-equipment certification; reduces compliance burden for industrial and consumer OEMs. |
| Thermal Shutdown with 10°C Hysteresis | Shuts down at 150°C junction temp and re-enables only below 140°C, preventing thermal oscillation under overload. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar eFuse protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS259827LNRGE | Same RON, ILIM range, and package; differs only in overcurrent response mode - active current limiter instead of circuit breaker. | Used where sustained overload tolerance is required (e.g., motor startup), not immediate disconnection. | Select TPS259827LNRGE if load can tolerate temporary current limiting; choose TPS259827ONRGER for fail-fast isolation. |
| TPS259421ARVCR | Lower voltage range (2.7V–18V), higher RON (3.5mΩ), fixed 3.7V OVLO, and smaller 3mm × 3mm QFN-16 package. | Targeted at space-constrained edge devices with lower current (<8A) and strict OVLO requirements. | Choose TPS259421ARVCR for compact designs needing UL-certified protection below 18V; retain TPS259827ONRGER for 24V, 15A, no-OVLO needs. |
Compared with TPS259827LNRGE and TPS259421ARVCR, the TPS259827ONRGER uniquely combines no-OVLO operation, circuit breaker behavior, and 15A capability in a thermally optimized 4mm × 4mm QFN - making it optimal for high-reliability 24V hot-swap systems requiring unconditional fault isolation.

FAQ
What is the overvoltage lockout (OVLO) configuration of the TPS259827ONRGER?
The TPS259827ONRGER has no overvoltage lockout (no-OVLO) functionality. Unlike other variants in the TPS25982 family (e.g., TPS259822ONRGE with 3.7V OVLO), this part omits internal overvoltage cutoff circuitry - allowing operation in systems where input voltage is tightly regulated or externally supervised. This simplifies design when upstream regulation guarantees safe VIN levels.
How does the TPS259827ONRGER implement circuit breaker behavior versus current limiting?
The TPS259827ONRGER operates as a circuit breaker: upon detecting current exceeding the programmed ILIM threshold (or fast-trip at 210% ILIM), it fully disables the internal FET and holds output at 0V until reset via EN toggle or auto-retry sequence. This differs from current-limiter variants (e.g., TPS259827LNRGE), which sustain regulated current flow during overload - making TPS259827ONRGER ideal for fail-safe isolation.
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the TPS259827ONRGER?
The TPS259827ONRGER supports up to 15A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, proper PCB copper area, and thermal pad soldering). Derating applies at elevated ambient temperatures or reduced airflow; thermal performance is validated per JEDEC 4-layer board with 2oz copper and 3×2 via array.
Can the TPS259827ONRGER be used without an external current-sense resistor?
Yes - the TPS259827ONRGER integrates high-accuracy current monitoring via IMON pin, eliminating need for external shunt resistors. IMON sources 246µA/A (typ) proportional to load current; a simple resistor-to-ground converts this to measurable voltage. External sensing is optional only for ultra-high-precision applications beyond ±1.5% spec.
What safety certifications apply to the TPS259827ONRGER?
The TPS259827ONRGER carries UL 2367 Recognition (File E339631, requiring RILIM ≥ 182Ω) and IEC 62368 CB Certification. These approvals validate its suitability in end equipment requiring safety agency compliance - including industrial PCs, network infrastructure, and commercial servers - without requiring additional component-level safety testing.
