FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
The TPS25910 device provides highly integrated hotswap power management and superior protection in
applications up to 20 V. The maximum UV turn-on
threshold of 2.9 V makes the TPS25910 device well
suited to standard bus voltages as low as 3.3 V. This
device is intended for systems where a voltage bus
must be protected from undesired permanent and
transient overload.

PIN DESCRIPTION
FLT: Open-drain output that pulls low during thermal shutdown. FLT activates when device thermally shuts down
and deactivates when die temperature cools down below the device thermal protection threshold and the device
ends thermal shutdown cycle. FLT becomes operational before UV, when VIN is greater than 1 V.
GND: This is the most negative voltage in the circuit and is used as reference for all voltage measurements
unless otherwise specified. All the GND pins must be connected to system power supply negative return point
GATE: Output that provides gate drive for the internal pass FET. Its sourcing current is about 11 µA. An internal
clamp prevents GATE from rising 6.6 V above OUT. CINT is 200 pF.
The GATE pin is disabled by the following mechanisms:
1. When EN is above its rising threshold, GATE is pulled down by a 40-Ω resistor connecting to GND for
approximately 50 µs. Then, a 7.5-kΩ resistor ties GATE to GND to ensure the GATE is off.
2. When VIN drops below the UVLO threshold, GATE is pulled down by a 40-Ω resistor connecting to GND for
approximately 50 µs. Then, a 7.5-kΩ resistor ties GATE to GND to ensure the GATE is off.
3. When short circuit fault occurs, GATE is pulled down by a 40-Ω resistor connecting to GND for approximately
50 µs. Then, a 500-µA current source continues to pull down on the GATE.
4. If the chip die temperature exceeds the OTSD rising threshold, GATE is pulled down to GND by a 7.5-kΩ
resistor.
An external capacitor can be connected from GATE pin to GND pin to create linear inrush profile. The slew rate
of the inrush can be controlled by a different capacitor value.

EN: When this pin is pulled low, the device is enabled. The input threshold is hysteretic, allowing the user to
program a startup delay with an external RC circuit. EN is pulled to VIN by a 10-MΩ resistor, pulled to GND by
16.8 MΩ and is clamped to ground by a 7-V Zener diode. Because high impedance pullup and or down resistors
are used to reduce current draw, any external FET controlling this pin must be low leakage.
IN: Input voltage to the TPS25910 device. The recommended operating voltage range is 3 V to 20 V. All VIN
pins must be connected together and to the power source.
OUT: Output connection for the TPS25910 device. When switched on, the output voltage is approximately:
VOUT = VIN - 0.04 ´ IOUT

All OUT pins must be connected together and to the load.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Programming the Current-Limit Threshold
The over-current threshold is user programmable via an external resistor. The TPS25910 device 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 RILIM is 0 kΩ ≤ RILIM ≤ 237 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 over-current threshold when selecting a value for RILIM. Consult the ELECTRICAL
CHARACTERISTICS table for specific current-limit settings. The traces routing the RILIM resistor to the
TPS25910 device must be as short as possible to reduce parasitic effects on the current-limit accuracy.

Slew Rate Control Using CGATE
The TPS25910 device can be used with applications that require constant turn-on currents. The current is
controlled by a single capacitor from the GATE terminal to ground. The TPS25910 internal MOSFET appears to
operate as a source follower (following the gate voltage) in this implementation. Choose a time to charge, Δt,
based on the output capacitor, input voltage VI, and desired charge current, ICHARGE. Select the device load to be

Thermal Sense
The TPS25910 self protects by using a thermal sensing circuit that monitors the operating temperature of the
power switch and disables operation if the temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown condition (160°C typical).
The TPS25910 device operates in power-limit mode during an overload condition and increases the voltage drop
across power switch. The thermal sensor turns off the power switch when the die temperature exceeds 160°C.
Hysteresis is built into the thermal sensor, and the switch turns on after the device has cooled approximately
20°C. Figure 9 below illustrates the thermal behavior during output overload.

Back-to-Back (B2B) FET Operation
Many applications require reverse current blocking (from load to input source) so that pending system activities
can be completed (such as writing important data to non-volatile memory) prior to power down or during brown
out. The TPS25910 device provides the GATE pin externally for slew rate control, but this external connection
can also be used to control an external blocking MOSFET, Q1 as shown in Figure 10.
As VIN drops during input power removal, the comparator circuit de-asserts ENb, GATE falls, and both the
TPS25910 internal MOSFET and Q1 is turned off and block any current flow from VLOAD to VIN. CLOAD can then
be chosen to furnish the required load current for long enough to complete the required power down system
activities.

Circuit operation is illustrated in Figure 11 and Figure 12. Figure 11 shows the power down event with no load at
the output. When VIN drops to approximately 10 V (threshold of comparator circuit), ENb is de-asserted and
GATE falls and enables reverse current blocking. The voltage on CLOAD then stops following VIN and remains flat
for a long duration.

Figure 12 illustrates the power down event with a 200-mA load. As VIN starts to fall, the output load is supplied by
CLOAD. CLOAD must be large enough to support VLOAD for long enough for the power down activities to complete.
For the case shown in Figure 12, CLOAD is a 3900-µF capacitor and can support a droop from approximately 10 V
to approximately 5 V for approximately 170 ms.
The TPS3700DDC (dual comparator with wide input voltage range) can be used for the B2B comparator circuit
shown in Figure 10. Only one comparator is needed, but the second comparator can be utilized as either a
power good flag or as a notification to the system load that a brownout or power down event is about to occur.

Maximum Load at Startup
The power limiting function of the TPS25910 device provides effective protection for the internal FET.
Expectedly, there is a supply voltage dependent maximum load which the device is able to power up. Loads
above this level can cause the device to shut off current before startup is complete. Neglecting any load
capacitance, the maximum load (minimum load resistance) is calculated using Equation 13;
V 2
RMIN = IN
12
(13)
Adding load capacitance may reduce the maximum load which can be present at start up.
If EN is tied to GND at startup and IN does not ramp quickly, the TPS25910 device can momentarily turn off then
on during startup. This can happen if a capacitive load pulls down the input voltage below the UV threshold. If
necessary, this can be avoided by delaying the EN assertion until VIN is fully up.
Transient Protection
The need for transient protection in conjunction with hot-swap controllers should always be considered. When
the TPS25910 device interrupts current flow, input inductance generates a positive voltage spike on the input
and output inductance generates a negative voltage spike on the output. Such transients can easily exceed twice
the supply voltage if steps are not taken to address the issue. Typical methods for addressing transients include;
• Minimizing lead length/inductance into and out of the device.
• Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) on the input to absorb inductive spikes.
• Schottky diode across the output to absorb negative spikes.
• A combination of ceramic and electrolytic capacitors on the input and output to absorb energy.
The following equation estimates the magnitude of these voltage spikes:
Where;
VSPIKE(absolute ) = VNOM + ILOAD ´ L

•
C
VNOM equals the nominal supply voltage
ILOAD equals the load current
C equals the capacitance present at the input or output of the TPS25910 device
L equals the effective inductance seen looking into the source or the load
(14)
The inductance because of a straight length of wire equals approximately.

Some applications may require the addition of a TVS to prevent transients from exceeding the absolute ratings if
sufficient capacitance cannot be included.
