where heavy capacitive loads and short circuits
are likely to be encountered. The TPS2043 and
NC – No internal connection
the TPS2053 incorporate in single packages three 135-mΩ N-channel MOSFET high-side power switches for
power-distribution systems that require multiple power switches. Each switch is controlled by a logic enable that
is compatible with 5-V logic and 3-V logic. Gate drive is provided by an internal charge pump that controls the
power-switch rise times and fall times to minimize current surges during switching. The charge pump, requiring
no external components, allows operation from supplies as low as 2.7 V.
When the output load exceeds the current-limit threshold or a short is present, the TPS2043 and TPS2053 limit
the output current to a safe level by switching into a constant-current mode, pulling the overcurrent (OCx
output low. When continuous heavy overloads and short circuits increase the power dissipation in the switch
causing the junction temperature to rise, a thermal protection circuit shuts off the switch to prevent damage.
Recovery from a thermal shutdown is automatic once the device has cooled sufficiently. Internal circuitry
ensures the switch remains off until valid input voltage is present.
The TPS2043 and TPS2053 are designed to limit at0.9-A load. These power distribution switches are available
in a 16-pin small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package and operate over an ambient temperature range of
–40°C to 85°C.

The power switch is an N-channel MOSFET with a maximum on-state resistance of 135 mΩ (V
Configured as a high-side switch, the power switch prevents current flow from OUTx to INx and INx to OUTx
when disabled. The power switch supplies a minimum of 500 mA per switch.
charge pump
An internal 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 2.7 V and requires
very little supply current.
driver
The driver controls the gate voltage of the power switch. T o limit large current surges and reduce the associated
electromagnetic interference (EMI) produced, the driver incorporates circuitry that controls the rise times and
fall times of the output voltage. The rise and fall times are typically in the 2-ms to 4-ms range.
enable (ENx
The logic enable disables the power switch and the bias for the charge pump, driver, and other circuitry to reduce
the supply current to less than 20 µA when a logic high is present on ENx

A sense FET monitors the current supplied to the load. The sense FET measures current more efficiently than
conventional resistance methods. When an overload or short circuit is encountered, the current-sense circuitry
sends a control signal to the driver. The driver in turn reduces the gate voltage and drives the power FET into
its saturation region, which switches the output into a constant current mode and holds the current constant
while varying the voltage on the load.
thermal sense
The TPS2043 and TPS2053 implement a dual-threshold thermal trip to allow fully independent operation of the
power distribution switches. In an overcurrent or short-circuit condition the junction temperature rises. When
the die temperature rises to approximately 140°C, the internal thermal sense circuitry checks to determine which
power switch is in an overcurrent condition and turns off that switch, thus isolating the fault without interrupting
operation of the adjacent power switch. Hysteresis is built into the thermal sense, and after the device has cooled
approximately 20 degrees, the switch turns back on. The switch continues to cycle off and on until the fault is
removed. The (OCx
