TPS26600PWPT – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The Texas Instruments TPS26600PWPT is a 4-channel, 2A, independent hot-swap controller housed in a 20-pin 4x4mm QFN package. It features individual MOSFET control for each channel, enabling independent power sequencing and fault detection. Each channel operates with an input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V, supporting a wide variety of power sources. The device incorporates overcurrent, overvoltage, and short-circuit protection for each channel, ensuring robust system reliability. Its low quiescent current (typically <100µA per channel) contributes to improved power efficiency._x000D_ _x000D_ The TPS26600PWPT employs a proprietary soft-start algorithm to minimize inrush current, protecting sensitive downstream components. It communicates system status via open-drain flags, allowing for seamless integration with microcontroller-based systems. Common use cases include powering multiple peripherals or modules in industrial control systems, data centers, and automotive applications where independent power management and fault protection are critical. Its high current handling capability and multiple channel control, combined with its compact QFN packaging, make it an advantageous choice for space-constrained designs requiring robust power management solutions. The device's inherent protection mechanisms reduce the need for external components, simplifying design and reducing BOM costs.
