Product details
Overview
TPS26614DDFR from Texas Instruments is a universal ±20 mA / 4–20 mA current loop protector with integrated bipolar 32-mA current limit, ±50-V operating voltage, 7.5-Ω typical RON, EN pin for enable control, and auto-retry fault response-designed for analog input/output modules in PLCs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the TPS26614DDFR datasheet, TPS26614DDFR pinout, TPS26614DDFR application, or TPS26614DDFR equivalent, key selection criteria include its EN-controlled switching, ±50-V miswiring tolerance, auto-retry behavior under overload (tRETRY1 = 0.8 s), HART-compliant 10-kHz bandwidth, and SOT-23-8 (DDF) package compatibility with space-constrained I/O designs.
Technical Context
The TPS26614DDFR implements dual-stage overcurrent protection: a regulated 32-mA bipolar current limit (extendable to 60 mA via MODE pin) and sub-5-µs fast-trip shutdown for short-circuit transients. Its EN pin enables system-level power sequencing, while SGOOD provides open-drain fault signaling with 685-µs deglitching.
It supports unipolar (3–30 V) and bipolar (±2.25 V to ±20 V) supply operation, delivers <100 nA loop leakage, and features output-side undervoltage/overvoltage cutoff (VOUT_OVLO = +Vs + 0.05–0.30 V; VO_UVLO = –Vs – 0.40–0.20 V) to protect against field-side miswiring-without requiring external TVS for IEC61000-4-4 EFT immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage | ±50 V - withstands field-side polarity reversals and surge events without latch-off |
| Bipolar Current Limit | ±32 mA typical - precise regulation for 4–20 mA and ±20 mA loops; extends sense resistor lifetime |
| RON | 7.5 Ω typical - minimizes voltage drop (<1.6 V at 20 mA), enabling operation with low-voltage supplies |
| Enable Control | EN pin with 1.72-V rising threshold - allows software-controlled channel isolation in multiplexed I/O systems |
| Fault Response | Auto-retry (tRETRY1 = 0.8 s, tRETRY2 = 1.6 s) - recovers autonomously after overload without host intervention |
| HART Bandwidth | 10 kHz - preserves 1200-baud HART signal integrity across protected analog inputs |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160 °C with 11 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
TPS26614DDFR uses an 8-pin SOT-23-THN (DDF) package measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm, optimized for high-density industrial I/O modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Reference ground | Common return for internal biasing; must connect to system GND plane for stable operation |
| MODE | Overload configuration | Selects current limit mode (32 mA, 60 mA, or extended pulse duration); 180-kΩ pull-down enables 2×IOL |
| –Vs | Negative supply rail | Accepts –20 V to 0 V; tied to GND in unipolar configurations to block reverse current |
| IN | Field-side input | Receives ±20 mA or 4–20 mA loop current; rated for ±55 V absolute max to survive miswiring |
| OUT | System-side output | Drives ADC burden resistor or transmitter load; includes OVLO/UVO protection to prevent downstream damage |
| +Vs | Positive supply rail | Accepts 2.25 V to 30 V; powers internal circuitry and FET gate drive independently of loop current |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; internal pullup allows floating = enabled; 10-µA leakage enables low-power standby |
| SGOOD | Fault status indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during normal operation; goes high on fault or startup for system health monitoring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bipolar current limiting | 32-mA fixed threshold with MODE-selectable 60-mA pulse mode - eliminates need for external current-sense resistors and op-amps |
| Input/output miswiring protection | Automatic cutoff when IN or OUT exceeds ±Vs rails - prevents damage from field wiring errors without external components |
| Auto-retry fault recovery | Two-phase retry timer (0.8 s / 1.6 s) - restores operation after transient overloads without manual reset or host command |
| HART signal transparency | 10-kHz small-signal bandwidth - passes 1200-baud HART digital signals superimposed on 4–20 mA analog without distortion |
| Low loop-side quiescent current | <100 nA IQ - avoids loading precision 4–20 mA loops, preserving measurement accuracy in high-impedance receiver stages |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current loop protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS26611DDFR | No auto-retry; latch-off fault response; same EN, MODE, and SGOOD functionality | Suited for safety-critical systems requiring manual reset after fault | Choose TPS26611DDFR when deterministic fault lockout is required and automatic recovery is prohibited. |
| TPS26632DDFR | Higher 60-V rating; 45-mA current limit; no EN pin; single-supply only (3–36 V) | Optimized for 2-wire transmitter protection, not multiplexed I/O | Choose TPS26632DDFR for transmitter-side protection where enable control and bipolar operation are unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS26614DDFR, TPS26611DDFR offers identical pinout and protection features but requires external reset after fault, while TPS26632DDFR trades EN control and auto-retry for higher voltage rating and simplified unipolar supply-making it unsuitable for HART-enabled multiplexed inputs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for TPS26614DDFR?
The TPS26614DDFR supports ±50 V continuous operating voltage on its IN and OUT pins, with ±55 V absolute maximum ratings. This allows direct connection to industrial field wiring without external clamping, protecting against common miswiring conditions such as reversed polarity or accidental connection to higher-voltage sources. The device maintains regulation and protection functionality across this full range when powered within its specified ±2.25 V to ±20 V or 3 V to 30 V supply limits.
How does the EN pin function on TPS26614DDFR?
The EN pin on TPS26614DDFR is an active-high enable input with a 1.72-V rising threshold and internal pullup. When pulled high (≥1.72 V), the device operates normally; when pulled low (<1 V), it disables the pass FET and reduces supply current to 0.27 mA. This allows precise channel-level control in multiplexed I/O systems. The pin draws only ±10 µA leakage, making it compatible with microcontroller GPIOs without additional level-shifting or buffering circuitry.
Does TPS26614DDFR support HART communication?
Yes, TPS26614DDFR is explicitly HART compliant with a 10-kHz small-signal bandwidth. It preserves the 1200-baud HART digital signal superimposed on 4–20 mA analog loops without attenuation or phase shift, meeting the spectral requirements of the HART Physical Layer specification. This capability is validated across temperature and supply variations, ensuring reliable configuration and diagnostics in field instruments connected through TPS26614DDFR-protected inputs.
What fault recovery behavior does TPS26614DDFR implement?
TPS26614DDFR uses auto-retry fault recovery: after an overload event triggers current limiting, it enters a timed off-state (tRETRY1 = 0.8 s), then attempts restart. If the fault persists, it repeats with tRETRY2 = 1.6 s. This continues until the overload clears. Unlike latch-off variants (e.g., TPS26611), TPS26614DDFR requires no external reset signal-enabling autonomous recovery in remote or inaccessible installations where manual intervention is impractical.
Can TPS26614DDFR operate from a single supply?
Yes, TPS26614DDFR supports unipolar supply operation from 3 V to 30 V on +Vs, with –Vs tied to GND. In this configuration, it provides reverse-current blocking for 4–20 mA loops and retains full miswiring protection on IN and OUT. The device draws only 1.07–1.65 mA from +Vs in normal operation and maintains its 32-mA current limit, 7.5-Ω RON, and HART bandwidth-making it suitable for cost-sensitive, space-constrained single-supply industrial I/O designs.
