Typical Application

The TPS25940 is a smart eFuse. It is typically used for Hot-Swap and Power rail protection applications. It operates from 2.7 V to 18 V with programmable current limit, overvoltage and undervoltage protection. The device aids in controlling the in-rush current and provides fast turn-off during reverse voltage conditions for systems such as Enterprise SSDs, HDDs, Servers, Power Back-up Storage units and RAID cards. The device also provides robust protection for multiple faults on the sub-system rail.

The following design procedure can be used to select component values for the device.
