Key Features
- 5 A continuous current rating with adjustable overcurrent threshold protects downstream loads from fault conditions in 4.5 V to 13.8 V systems
- Programmable current limit replaces fixed-threshold fuses for flexible overcurrent protection tuned to each application load profile
- Compact 10-pin VSON 3x3 mm package (S-PDSO-N10) minimizes PCB area while integrating eFuse functionality in a single device
- RoHS compliant lead-free (e4) construction with 15-year YTEOL for use in long-lifecycle industrial and infrastructure designs
Applications
The TPS259241DRCR is designed for electronic fuse protection in server power distribution boards, USB Type-C port protection, and industrial equipment power rails operating from 4.5 V to 13.8 V. Its adjustable overcurrent threshold and 5 A rating make it ideal for protecting individual PCIe slots, M.2 storage modules, and embedded computing modules where traditional polyfuses are too slow and mechanical fuses are not resettable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum current TPS259241DRCR can handle, and what input voltage range does it support?
The TPS259241DRCR handles up to 5 A of continuous load current with an adjustable overcurrent threshold, operating across an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 13.8 V, making it compatible with 5 V USB, 9 V fast-charge, and 12 V server bus power architectures in a single device.
How does the adjustable overcurrent threshold of TPS259241DRCR benefit system designers compared to a fixed-threshold fuse?
With a programmable current limit, TPS259241DRCR allows designers to tune the trip point from well below 5 A down to match each load's specific maximum current requirement. This prevents nuisance trips for inrush-heavy loads like capacitive USB devices while still protecting against real faults, unlike fixed polyfuses that require selecting from a limited set of standard ratings.
What package does TPS259241DRCR use, and how does it compare to discrete protection implementations?
TPS259241DRCR is housed in a 10-pin VSON 3x3 mm package (S-PDSO-N10), integrating eFuse, current sensing, and protection logic in less than 9 mm² footprint, replacing a discrete implementation of a P-channel MOSFET, sense resistor, comparator, and gate driver that would occupy 3x to 5x more PCB area.
Is TPS259241DRCR a suitable long-term supply for a 10-year industrial program?
Yes, TPS259241DRCR carries a YTEOL of 15 years and RoHS-compliant e4 lead-free status, providing the supply continuity and regulatory compliance required for 10-year-plus industrial, medical, and telecom product programs without requiring a mid-life component substitution or re-qualification effort.
