TPS2561DRCT

The TPS2561DRCT is a dual-channel Power Distribution Switch intended for applications where precision current limiting is required or heavy capacitive loads and short circuits are encountered. This device offers a programmable current-limit threshold between 250mA and 2.8A (typical) per channel through an external resistor. The power-switch rise and fall times are controlled to minimize current surges during turn on and off. Each channel of the TPS256x devices limits the output current to a safe level by switching into a constant-current mode when the output load exceeds the current-limit threshold. The FAULTx logic output for each channel independently asserts low during overcurrent and overtemperature conditions.
