TPS26602PWPT

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The TPS26602PWPT is a single-channel hot-swap voltage controller and electronic fuse manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within an input voltage range of 4.2V to 55V and supports a maximum output current of 2.35A. The device features a typical on-resistance of 150mΩ and maintains a quiescent current of 300µA. It is housed in a 16-pin PowerTSSOP package with a thermal pad, designed for surface-mount installation. The component functions reliably across an extended junction temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Integrated hot-swap controller with adjustable current limiting and soft-start capabilities
• Built-in protection against overvoltage, undervoltage lockout, and reverse current flow
• Low static current consumption suitable for power-sensitive industrial applications

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• Industrial equipment power distribution
• Telecommunications infrastructure protection
• Automotive electronics circuit management

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PWPT' corresponds to the cut-tape packaging variant rather than reel quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during assembly due to the sensitive internal MOSFET structures. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate parameter accuracy against current production standards.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel solution with integrated hot-swap control is required for voltages up to 55V. The 16-HTSSOP package offers a balance between thermal performance and board space efficiency compared to larger footprints. Consider the 150mΩ on-resistance for power loss calculations in high-current scenarios. This part is appropriate for designs needing precise current limiting without external discrete components.

Current Regulation/Management Part Context

This device belongs to the TPS2660x family of industrial eFuses and hot-swap controllers. It complements other variants like the TPS26600 and TPS26602RHFR by offering a specific pin-compatible or functionally similar alternative in a different package style. The family focuses on protecting downstream loads from fault conditions while managing inrush currents during system startup.

Current Regulation/Management Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include TPS26602RHFT and TPS26602PWPR within the same series. Verify package compatibility and pinout alignment before substitution. Alternative packages such as QFN may require PCB layout adjustments despite functional equivalence.
