TPS26635RGER

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The TPS26635RGER is a 60-V, 6-A industrial eFuse from the Texas Instruments TPS2663x family. It features an integrated 31-mΩ N-channel power FET and supports input voltages from 4.5 V to 60 V. The device includes adjustable current limiting (0.6 A to 6 A), output voltage slew rate control, and programmable overvoltage protection. It provides fast reverse current blocking and thermal regulation for charging large capacitive loads.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Integrated 31-mΩ power FET with B-FET driver for external N-channel FET control
• Adjustable output power limiting (PLIM) for IEC61010-1 and UL1310 compliance
• Fast reverse current blocking capability with configurable fault response modes
• Thermal regulation support for safe charging of unknown or large capacitive loads

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• Industrial PLCs and DCS systems requiring IEC61000-4-5 surge protection
• Factory automation I/O modules and sensor hubs
• Motor drives including CNC systems and encoder supplies
• Electronic circuit breakers and hot-swap power distribution

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the package type matches the design requirements, as the RGER suffix indicates a specific surface-mount configuration. Confirm that the component meets the required industrial temperature range specifications. Ensure that the ordering information aligns with the exact functional variant needed, particularly regarding power limiting capabilities. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm availability and any potential obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring robust surge immunity and precise power management. The TPS26635RGER is suitable for applications needing adjustable current limits and output power limiting to meet safety standards. Consider its integration of protection features against short circuits, overvoltages, and reverse currents. Evaluate the need for external FET control if higher current handling or specific reverse blocking characteristics are required beyond the internal FET capabilities.

Current Regulation/Management Part Context
