3 Description

The TPS25990 is an integrated, high-current circuit

protection and power management device in a small

package. The device provides multiple protection

modes using very few external components and is a

robust defense against overloads, short circuits, and

excessive inrush current.

The integrated PMBus? interface allows a host

controller to monitor, control and configure the system

in real-time. Key system parameters can be read

back by remote telemetry. Various protection, warning

thresholds and coefficients can be configured through

PMBus? or stored in non-volatile configuration

memory. Blackbox fault recording feature helps in the

debugging of field failures and returns.

The device can be used as a standalone eFuse, or

connected as a primary controller in a parallel eFuse

configuration for higher current support. All devices

actively synchronize their operating state and share

current during start-up and steady state to avoid overstressing

some of the devices which can result in

premature or partial shutdown of the parallel chain.
