TPS2561DRCT

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Overview

The TPS2561DRCT is a dual-channel power distribution switch from Texas Instruments, housed in a 10-VSON package. It supports an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 6.5 V and delivers up to 2.5 A output current per channel. The device features adjustable current limiting from 250 mA to 2.8 A and a maximum on-resistance of 50 mΩ. It includes controlled slew rate, status flags, and protection against over-temperature, under-voltage lockout, and short circuits. Operating temperature spans -40°C to +125°C.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Feature Summary

• Dual-channel N-channel power switch with independent control
• Adjustable current limiting for flexible load management
• Integrated thermal shutdown and under-voltage lockout protection
• Controlled slew rate to minimize inrush current

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Applications

• USB hub power distribution
• Peripheral port power switching
• Battery-powered equipment load management
• Industrial I/O board power sequencing

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DRCT' corresponds to the cut-tape packaging variant when ordering. Confirm that the automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100) aligns with your system requirements, as standard industrial versions may differ. Ensure the 10-VSON footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to confirm pinout compatibility with existing designs.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring dual independent power paths with precise current regulation. The adjustable current limit allows optimization for various load types. Consider the low on-resistance for efficiency and the wide operating temperature range for harsh environments. Evaluate the controlled slew rate benefit for sensitive downstream components against potential switching speed requirements.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the TPS2561 family of power switches. It shares architectural similarities with the TPS2561AQ but differs in automotive qualification. The 'DRCT' designation indicates a tape-and-reel cut version, distinct from bulk or reel-only packaging options found in other variants within the same product line.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Replacement Considerations

TPS2561ADRCR offers identical electrical specifications and pinout in a compatible VSON-10 package. Verify that the non-automotive grade of the substitute meets your environmental reliability standards before implementation.
