The TPS25221 is intended for applications where heavy capacitive loads and
short circuits may be encountered. The programmable current-limit threshold maybe set between 275
mA and 2.7 A (typical) using an external resistor. ILIMIT accuracy as tight
as ±6% can be achieved at the higher current-limit settings. Power-switch rise and fall times are
controlled to minimize current surges during turn on and turn off.
When a load attempts to draw current exceeding the programmed
ILIMIT the internal FET enters constant current mode in order to keep
ILOAD at or below ILIMIT. The
FAULT output will assert low during over-current conditions after the built
in de-glitch time.
