TPS2592AADRCR

The Texas Instruments TPS2592AADRCR is an electronic fuse (eFuse) belonging to the eFuses and hot swap controllers family. It is designed to provide robust power protection in various applications. This device operates over a wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 13.8V, with a maximum absolute voltage rating of 20V.

Key electrical characteristics include an adjustable current limit ranging from 2A to 3.7A with ±15% accuracy, and a typical on-resistance of 28mΩ. It features a fixed 15V overvoltage clamp to protect downstream components from voltage transients. The eFuse also includes an analog current monitor, overcurrent response, fault response, and auto-retry functionality.

Packaged in a compact 10-VSON (3x3 mm) surface-mount package, the TPS2592AADRCR is suitable for space-constrained designs. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C. The device also supports reverse current blocking and programmable slew rate and undervoltage lockout (UVLO).

This eFuse is noted as 'NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS' by the manufacturer, though it remains available for existing customers. New designs should consider alternate products like the TPS25924, which offers upgraded functionality.
