SLVSD03 – DECEMBER 2015
TPS2559-Q1 Precision Adjustable Current-Limited Power-Distribution Switch
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS2559-Q1 power-distribution switch is
intended for applications where a low resistance,
precision current limit switch is required or heavy
capacitive loads are encountered. The TPS2559-Q1
provides up to 5.5 A of continuous load current with a
precise current limit set by a single resistor to ground.
Output current is maintained at a safe level by
switching into a constant-current mode when the
output load exceeds the current-limit threshold.
During overload events the output current is limited to
the level set by R(ILIM). If a persistent overload occurs,
the device goes into thermal shutoff to prevent
damage to the TPS2559-Q1.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The TPS2559-Q1 is a current-limited, power-distribution switch using N-channel MOSFETs for applications
where short circuits or heavy capacitive loads will be encountered. This device allows the user to program the
current-limit via an external resistor and the maximum continuous output current up to 5.5 A. This device
incorporates an internal charge pump and the gate drive circuitry necessary to drive the N-channel MOSFET.
The charge pump supplies power to the driver circuit and provides the necessary voltage to pull the gate of the
MOSFET above the source. The charge pump operates from input voltages as low as 2.5 V and requires little
supply current. The driver controls the gate voltage of the power switch. The driver incorporates circuitry that
controls the rise and fall times of the output voltage to limit large current and voltage surges and provides built-in
soft-start functionality. The TPS2559-Q1 limits the output current to the programmed current-limit threshold IOS
during an overcurrent or short-circuit event by reducing the charge pump voltage driving the N-channel MOSFET
and operating it in the linear range of operation. The result of limiting the output current to IOS reduces the output
voltage at OUT because N-channel MOSFET is no longer fully enhanced.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Thermal Sense
The TPS2559-Q1 self protects by using two independent thermal sensing circuits that monitor the operating
temperature of the power switch and disable operation if the temperature exceeds recommended operating
conditions. The TPS2559-Q1 device operates in constant-current mode during an over-current condition, which
increases the voltage drop across power switch. The power dissipation in the package is proportional to the
voltage drop across the power switch, which increases the junction temperature during an over-current condition.
The first thermal sensor (OTSD1) turns off the power switch when the die temperature exceeds 135°C (min) and
the part is in current limit. Hysteresis is built into the thermal sensor, and the switch turns on after the device has
cooled approximately 20°C.
The TPS2559-Q1 also has a second ambient thermal sensor (OTSD2). The ambient thermal sensor turns off the
power switch when the die temperature exceeds 155°C (min) regardless of whether the power switch is in
current limit and will turn on the power switch after the device has cooled approximately 20°C. The TPS2559-Q1
continues to cycle off and on until the fault is removed.

Feature Description (continued)
9.3.2 Overcurrent Protection
The TPS2559-Q1 responds to overcurrent conditions by limiting their output current to IOS. When an overload
condition is present, the device maintains a constant output current, with the output voltage determined by (IOS ×
RLOAD). Two possible overload conditions can occur.
The first condition is when a short circuit or partial short circuit is present when the device is powered-up or
enabled. The output voltage is held near zero potential with respect to ground and the TPS2559-Q1 ramps the
output current to IOS. The TPS2559-Q1 limits the current to IOS until the overload condition is removed or the
device begins to thermal cycle (see Figure 24).
The second condition is when a short circuit, partial short circuit, or transient overload occurs while the device is
enabled and powered on. The device responds to the overcurrent condition within time tIOS (see Figure 15). The
response speed and shape will vary with the overload level, input circuit, and rate of application. The current-limit
response will vary between simply settling to IOS, or turnoff and controlled return to IOS. Similar to the previous
case, the TPS2559-Q1 limits the current to IOS until the overload condition is removed or the device begins to
thermal cycle.
The TPS2559-Q1 thermal cycles if an overload condition is present long enough to activate thermal limiting in
any of the above cases. The device turns off when the junction temperature exceeds 135°C (min) while in current
limit. The device remains off until the junction temperature cools 20°C (typ) and then restarts. The TPS2559-Q1
cycles on/off until the overload is removed (see Figure 25).
9.3.3 FAULT Response
The FAULT open-drain output is asserted (active low) during an over-current or over-temperature condition. The
TPS2559-Q1 asserts the FAULT signal until the fault condition is removed and the device resumes normal
operation. The TPS2559-Q1 is designed to eliminate false FAULT reporting by using an internal delay "deglitch"
circuit for over-current (9-ms typ.) conditions without the need for external circuitry. This ensures that FAULT is
not accidentally asserted due to normal operation such as starting into a heavy capacitive load. The deglitch
circuitry delays entering and leaving current-limit induced fault conditions. The FAULT signal is not deglitched
when the MOSFET is disabled due to an over-temperature condition but is deglitched after the device has cooled
and begins to turn on. This unidirectional deglitch prevents FAULT oscillation during an over-temperature event.
9.4 Device Functional Modes
9.4.1 Operation with VIN Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Control
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables the power switch until the input voltage reaches the UVLO turnon threshold. Built-in hysteresis prevents unwanted on/off cycling due to input voltage droop during turn on.
9.4.2 Operation with EN Control
The logic enable controls the power switch and device supply current. The supply current is reduced to less than
2-μA when a logic low is present on EN. A logic high input on EN enables the driver, control circuits, and power
switch. The enable input is compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic levels.

10 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
10.1 Application Information
The TPS2559-Q1 current limited power switch uses N-channel MOSFETs in applications requiring up to 5.5 A of
continuous load current. The device enters constant-current mode when the load exceeds the current limit
threshold.
The TPS2559-Q1 power switch is used to protect the up-stream power supply when the output is overloaded.

When choose power switch, there are some several general steps:
1. What is the power rail, 3.3 V or 5 V, and then choose the operation range of power switch can cover the
power rail.
2. What is the normal operation current, for example, the maximum allowable current drawn by portable
equipment for USB 2.0 port is 500mA, so the normal operation current is 500mA and the minimum current
limit of power switch must exceed 500 mA to avoid false trigger during normal operation.
3. What is the maximum allowable current provided by up-stream power, and then decide the maximum current
limit of power switch that must lower it to ensure power switch can protect the up-stream power when overload is encountered at the output of power switch.

Rating Current
Minimum Current Limit
Maximum Current Limit
10.2.2.2 Input and Output Capacitance
Input and output capacitance improves the performance of the device; the actual capacitance should be
optimized for the particular application. For all applications, a 0.1μF or greater ceramic bypass capacitor between
IN and GND is recommended as close to the device as possible for local noise decoupling. This precaution
reduces ringing on the input due to power-supply transients. Additional input capacitance may be needed on the
input to reduce voltage undershoot from exceeding the UVLO of other load share one power rail with TPS2559Q1 or overshoot from exceeding the absolute-maximum voltage of the device during heavy transient conditions.
This is especially important during bench testing when long, inductive cables are used to connect the evaluation
board to the bench power supply.
Output capacitance is not required, but placing a high-value electrolytic capacitor on the output pin is
recommended when large transient currents are expected on the output to reduce the undershoot, which caused
by the inductance of the output power bus just after a short has occurred and the TPS2559-Q1 has abruptly
reduced OUT current. Energy stored in the inductance will drive the OUT voltage down and potentially negative
as it discharges.
10.2.2.3 Programming the Current-Limit Threshold
The overcurrent threshold is user programmable via an external resistor. The TPS2559-Q1 uses an internal
regulation loop to provide a regulated voltage on the ILIM pin. The current-limit threshold is proportional to the
current sourced out of ILIM. The recommended 1% resistor range for R(ILIM) is 24.9 kΩ ≤ R(ILIM) ≤ 100 kΩ to
ensure stability of the internal regulation loop.
When ILIM pin short to GND (single point failure), maximum current limit is less than 8 A over temperature and
process variation.
Many applications require that the minimum current limit is above a certain current level or that the maximum
current limit is below a certain current level, so it is important to consider the tolerance of the overcurrent
threshold when selecting a value for R(ILIM). The equations and the graph below can be used to estimate the
minimum and maximum variation of the current-limit threshold for a predefined resistor value within R(ILIM) is 24.9
kΩ ≤ R(ILIM) ≤ 100 kΩ. This variation is an approximation only and does not take into account, for example, the
resistor tolerance. For examples of more-precise variation of IOS refer to the current-limit section of the Electrical
Characteristics table.

10.2.2.6 Accounting for Resistor Tolerance
The previous sections described the selection of R(ILIM) given certain application requirements and the
importance of understanding the current-limit threshold tolerance. The analysis focused only on the TPS2559-Q1
is bounded by an upper and lower tolerance centered on a nominal resistance. The additional RILIM resistance
tolerance directly affects the current-limit threshold accuracy at a system level. Table 1 shows a process that
accounts for worst-case resistor tolerance assuming 1% resistor values.
Step one follows the selection process outlined in the application examples above.
Step two determines the upper and lower resistance bounds of the selected resistor.
Step three uses the upper and lower resistor bounds in the IOS equations to calculate the threshold limits.
It is important to use tighter tolerance resistors, that is, 0.5% or 0.1%, when precision current limiting is desired.

10.2.2.7 Power Dissipation and Junction Temperature
The low on-resistance of the N-channel MOSFET allows small surface-mount packages to pass large currents. It
is good design practice to estimate power dissipation and junction temperature. The below analysis gives an
approximation for calculating junction temperature based on the power dissipation in the package. However, it is
important to note that thermal analysis is strongly dependent on additional system level factors. Such factors
include air flow, board layout, copper thickness and surface area, and proximity to other devices dissipating
power. Good thermal design practice must include all system level factors in addition to individual component
analysis. Begin by determining the rDS(on) of the N-channel MOSFET relative to the input voltage and operating
temperature. As an initial estimate, use the highest operating ambient temperature of interest and read rDS(on)
from the typical characteristics graph. Using this value, the power dissipation can be calculated using Equation 8:
PD = rDS(on) × IOUT2
(8)
Where:
PD = Total power dissipation (W)
rDS(on) = Power switch on-resistance (Ω)
IOUT = Maximum current-limit threshold (A)
This step calculates the total power dissipation of the N-channel MOSFET.
Finally, calculate the junction temperature:
TJ = PD × θJA + TA
(9)
Where:
TA = Ambient temperature (°C)
θJA = Thermal resistance (°C/W)
PD = Total power dissipation (W)
Compare the calculated junction temperature with the initial estimate. If they are not within a few degrees, repeat
the calculation using the "refined" rDS(on) from the previous calculation as the new estimate. Two or three
iterations are generally sufficient to achieve the desired result. The final junction temperature is highly dependent
on thermal resistance θJA and thermal resistance is highly dependent on the individual package and board
layout.
10.2.2.8 Auto-Retry
Some applications require that an overcurrent condition disables the part momentarily during a fault condition
and re-enables after a pre-set time. This auto-retry functionality can be implemented with an external resistor and
capacitor. During a fault condition, FAULT pulls low EN. The part is disabled when EN is pulled below the turn-off
threshold, and FAULT goes high impedance allowing C(RETRY) to begin charging. The part re-enables when the
voltage on EN reaches the turn-on threshold. The part will continue to cycle in this manner until the fault
condition is removed. The auto-retry cycling time is determined by the resistor/capacitor time constant, TPS2559Q1 turn on time and FAULT deglitch time (see Figure 28).

10.2.2.9 Two-level Current-limit
Some applications require different current-limit thresholds depending on external system conditions. Figure 20
shows an implementation for an externally-controlled, two-level current-limit circuit. The current-limit threshold is
set by the total resistance from ILIM to GND (see previously discussed Programming the Current-Limit Threshold
section). A logic-level input enables/disables MOSFET Q1 and changes the current-limit threshold by modifying
the total resistance from ILIM to GND (see Figure 29 and Figure 30). Additional MOSFET/resistor combinations
can be used in parallel to Q1/R2 to increase the number of additional current-limit levels.
NOTE
ILIM should never be driven directly with an external signal.

12.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
•
Place the 100-nF bypass capacitor near the IN and GND pins, and make the connections using a lowinductance trace.
Placing a high-value electrolytic capacitor and a 100-nF bypass capacitor on the output pin is recommended
when large transient currents are expected on the output.
The traces routing the RILIM resistor to the device should be as short as possible to reduce parasitic effects on
the current limit accuracy.
The PowerPAD should be directly connected to PCB ground plane using wide and short copper trace.
