TPS2551DBVT datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS2551DBVT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating of the TPS2551DBVT?
  The maximum current rating of the TPS2551DBVT is 2.5A, but it can be limited by the thermal performance of the PCB and the ambient temperature.
• How do I ensure the TPS2551DBVT is properly powered on and off?
  To ensure proper power-on and power-off, the EN pin should be driven high to turn on the device, and driven low to turn it off. The EN pin should be driven high for at least 10us to ensure proper startup.
• What is the purpose of the FLT pin, and how do I use it?
  The FLT pin is an open-drain output that indicates an overcurrent or overtemperature fault. It can be connected to a microcontroller or other logic circuit to detect faults and take corrective action.
• How do I choose the correct sense resistor value for my application?
  The sense resistor value should be chosen based on the maximum current rating of the TPS2551DBVT and the desired current limit. A smaller sense resistor value will result in a higher current limit, while a larger value will result in a lower current limit.
• What is the thermal resistance of the TPS2551DBVT, and how does it affect my design?
  The thermal resistance of the TPS2551DBVT is 24°C/W. This means that for every watt of power dissipated, the junction temperature will increase by 24°C. This should be taken into account when designing the PCB and thermal management system.
