DESCRIPTION
The TPS2560A and TPS2561A are dual-channel
power-distribution switches intended for applications
where precision current limiting is required or heavy
capacitive loads and short circuits are encountered.
These devices offer a programmable current-limit
threshold between 250 mA and 2.8 A (typ) per
channel via an external resistor. The power-switch
rise and fall times are controlled to minimize current
surges during turn on/off.
Each channel of the TPS2560A/61A 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 over temperature conditions.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
The TPS2560A/61A is a dual-channel, 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 threshold between 250 mA and 2.8 A (typ) per channel via an external resistor. This
device incorporates an internal charge pump and gate drive circuitry necessary to drive the N-channel
MOSFETs. The charge pump supplies power to the driver circuit for each channel 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. Each channel of the TPS2560A/61A 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 OUTx because the N-channel MOSFET is no
longer fully enhanced.
OVERCURRENT CONDITIONS
The TPS2560A/61A responds to overcurrent conditions by limiting the output current per channel to IOS. When
an overcurrent condition is detected, the device maintains a constant output current and reduces the output
voltage accordingly. 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 TPS2560A/61A ramps the
output current to IOS. The TPS2560A/61A devices will limit the current to IOS until the overload condition is
removed or the device begins to thermal cycle.
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 3). The
current-sense amplifier is overdriven during this time and momentarily disables the internal current-limit
MOSFET. The current-sense amplifier recovers and ramps the output current to IOS. Similar to the previous case,
the TPS2560A/61A will limit the current to IOS until the overload condition is removed or the device begins to
thermal cycle.
The TPS2560A/61A 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
TPS2560A/61A cycles on/off until the overload is removed (see Figure 9) .

FAULTx RESPONSE
The FAULTx open-drain outputs are asserted (active low) on an individual channel during an overcurrent or
overtemperature condition. The TPS2560A/61A asserts the FAULTx signal until the fault condition is removed
and the device resumes normal operation on that channel. The TPS2560A/61A is designed to eliminate false
FAULTx reporting by using an internal delay "deglitch" circuit (9-ms typ) for overcurrent conditions without the
need for external circuitry. This ensures that FAULTx is not accidentally asserted due to normal operation such
as starting into a heavy capacitive load. The deglitch circuitry delays entering and leaving current-limited induced
fault conditions. The FAULTx signal is not deglitched when the MOSFET is disabled due to an overtemperature
condition but is deglitched after the device has cooled and begins to turn on. This unidrectional deglitch prevents
FAULTx oscillation during an overtemperature event.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables the power switch until the input voltage reaches the UVLO
turn-on threshold. Built-in hysteresis prevents unwanted on/off cycling due to input voltage droop during turn on.
ENABLE (ENx OR ENx)
The logic enables control the power switches and device supply current. The supply current is reduced to less
than 2-μA when a logic high is present on ENx or when a logic low is present on ENx. A logic low input on ENx
or a logic high input on ENx enables the driver, control circuits, and power switches. The enable inputs are
compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic levels.
THERMAL SENSE
The TPS2560A/61A 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. Each channel of the TPS2560A/61A operates in constant-current mode during an overcurrent
conditions, which increases the voltage drop across the 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
overcurrent condition. The first thermal sensor (OTSD) turns off the individual power switch channel when the die
temperature exceeds 135°C (min) and the channel 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 TPS2560A/61A also has a second ambient thermal sensor (OTSD2). The ambient thermal sensor turns off
both power switch channels when the die temperature exceeds 155°C (min) regardless of whether the power
switch channels are in current limit and will turn on the power switches after the device has cooled approximately
20°C. The TPS2560A/61A continues to cycle off and on until the fault is removed.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
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 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.
PROGRAMMING THE CURRENT-LIMIT THRESHOLD
The overcurrent threshold is user programmable via an external resistor, RILIM. RILIM sets the current-limit
threshold for both channels. The TPS2560A/61A use 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 RILIM is 20 kΩ ≤ RILIM ≤ 187 kΩ to ensure stability of the internal regulation loop. 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 RILIM. The following equations calculates the resulting overcurrent threshold for a given
external resistor value (RILIM). The traces routing the RILIM resistor to the TPS2560A/61A should be as short as
possible to reduce parasitic effects on the current-limit accuracy.

that 2 A must be delivered to the load so that the minimum desired current-limit threshold is 2000 mA. Use the
IOS equations and Figure 18 to select RILIM.

ACCOUNTING FOR RESISTOR TOLERANCE
The previous sections described the selection of RILIM given certain application requirements and the importance
of understanding the current-limit threshold tolerance. The analysis focused only on the TPS2560A/61A
performance and assumed an exact resistor value. However, resistors sold in quantity are not exact and are
bounded by an upper and lower tolerance centered around a nominal resistance. The additional RILIM resistance
tolerance directly affects the current-limit threshold accuracy at a system level. The following table 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, e.g. 0.5% or 0.1%,
when precision current limiting is desired.

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 by:
PD = (RDS(on) × IOUT1 2) +(RDS(on) × IOUT2 2)
Where:
PD = Total power dissipation (W)
rDS(on) = Power switch on-resistance of one channel (Ω)
IOUTx = Maximum current-limit threshold set by RILIM(A)
This step calculates the total power dissipation of the N-channel MOSFET.
Finally, calculate the junction temperature:
TJ = PD × θJA + TA
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. The Dissipating Rating Table provides example thermal resistances for specific packages and board
layouts.

AUTO-RETRY FUNCTIONALITY
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, FAULTx pulls ENx low disabling the part. The part is disabled when ENx is
pulled below the turn-off threshold, and FAULTx goes high impedance allowing CRETRY to begin charging. The
part re-enables when the voltage on ENx reaches the turn-on threshold, and the auto-retry time is determined by
the resistor/capacitor time constant. The part will continue to cycle in this manner until the fault condition is
removed.

TWO-LEVEL CURRENT-LIMIT CIRCUIT
Some applications require different current-limit thresholds depending on external system conditions. Figure 21
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. 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.
