Texas Instruments TPS24701 2.5V to 18V High Efficiency Hot-Swap Controller TPS24701DGK

The TPS24701DGK is a high-efficiency hot-swap controller designed for operation within a voltage range of 2.5V to 18V. It features accurate current limiting for startup conditions, with a precise 25mV current sense threshold that allows for the use of smaller, more efficient sense resistors, reducing power loss and footprint. The device includes a timed overcurrent breaker and a fast breaker for short-circuit protection, ensuring reliable operation under fault conditions. Additionally, the TPS24701 offers a power-good output for status monitoring and downstream load control. It is available in a compact MSOP-8 package and serves as a drop-in replacement for the LTC4211, requiring no layout changes in existing designs. The operating temperature range is specified from -40¬8C to 85¬8C, making it suitable for various applications, including server backplanes, storage area networks, medical systems, and consumer electronics.
