The TPS2560 and TPS2561 (TPS256x) are dualchannel 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 through an
external resistor. The power-switch rise and fall times
are controlled to minimize current surges during turn
on and off.
Two separate current limiting channels
Meets USB current-limiting requirements
Adjustable current limit: 250 mA to 2.8 A (typ)
± 7.5% current-limit accuracy at 2.8 A
Fast overcurrent response: 3.5 μs (typ)
Two 44-mΩ high-side MOSFETs
Operating range: 2.5 V to 6.5 V
2-μA maximum standby supply current
Built-in soft-start
15-kV, 8-kV system-level ESD capable
UL listed: file no. E169910
CB and Nemko certified
Each channel of the TPS256x devices limit 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.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The TPS256x 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 TPS256x 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.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Overcurrent Conditions
The TPS256x 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 TPS256x ramps the
output current to IOS. The TPS256x 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 8-2).
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 TPS256x will limit the current to IOS until the overload condition is removed or the device begins to
thermal cycle.
The TPS256x 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 TPS256x cycles
on/off until the overload is removed (see Figure 7-4).
9.3.2 FAULTx Response
The FAULTx open-drain outputs are asserted (active low) on an individual channel during an overcurrent or
overtemperature condition. The TPS256x asserts the FAULTx signal until the fault condition is removed and the
device resumes normal operation on that channel. The TPS256x 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.
9.3.3 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.
9.3.4 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.
9.3.5 Thermal Sense
The TPS256x 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 TPS256x 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 TPS256x 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 TPS256x continues to cycle off and on until the fault is removed.

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
10.1.1 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.

10.1.2 Two-Level Current-Limit Circuit
Some applications require different current-limit thresholds depending on external system conditions. Figure
10-3 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.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
10.2.2.1 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.
10.2.2.2 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 TPS256x 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 TPS256x should be as short as
possible to reduce parasitic effects on the current-limit accuracy.

10.2.2.3 Application 1: Designing Above a Minimum Current Limit
Some applications require that current limiting cannot occur below a certain threshold. For this example, assume
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 10-5 to select RILIM.

10.2.2.5 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 TPS256x 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.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 Self-Powered and Bus-Powered Hubs
A SPH has a local power supply that powers embedded functions and downstream ports. This power supply
must provide between 4.75 V to 5.25 V to downstream facing devices under full-load and no-load conditions.
SPHs are required to have current-limit protection and must report overcurrent conditions to the USB controller.
Typical SPHs are desktop PCs, monitors, printers, and stand-alone hubs. A BPH obtains all power from an
upstream port and often contains an embedded function. It must power up with less than 100 mA. The BPH
usually has one embedded function, and power is always available to the controller of the hub. If the embedded
function and hub require more than 100 mA on power up, the power to the embedded function may need to be
kept off until enumeration is completed. This is accomplished by removing power or by shutting off the clock to
the embedded function. Power switching the embedded function is not necessary if the aggregate power draw
for the function and controller is less than 100 mA. The total current drawn by the bus-powered device is the sum
of the current to the controller, the embedded function, and the downstream ports, and it is limited to 500 mA
from an upstream port.
10.2 Low-Power Bus-Powered and High-Power Bus-Powered Functions
Both low-power and high-power bus-powered functions obtain all power from upstream ports. Low-power
functions always draw less than 100 mA; high-power functions must draw less than 100 mA at power up and can
draw up to 500 mA after enumeration. If the load of the function is more than the parallel combination of 44 Ω
and 10 μF at power up, the device must implement inrush current limiting.

11.1 Layout Guidelines
•

•
•
Place the 100-nF bypass capacitor near the IN and GND pins, and make the connections using a lowinductance trace
Place 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 thermal pad should be directly connected to PCB ground plane using wide and short copper trace
11.1.1 Power Dissipation
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 with Equation 6.
This step calculates the total power dissipation of the N-channel MOSFET.
PD = (RDS(on) × IOUT1 2) +(RDS(on) × IOUT2 2)
(6)
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)

Finally, calculate the junction temperature with Equation 7.
TJ = PD × RθJA + TA
(7)
where
•
•
•
TA = Ambient temperature (°C)
RθJA = 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 RθJA, and thermal resistance is highly dependent on the individual package and board
layout. The Dissipation Ratings table provides example thermal resistances for specific packages and board
layouts.
