The TPS24701EVM-002 is an evaluation module for TPS24701 positive voltage power limiting hotswap controller. The evaluation module is a 12V, 25A hot swap controller in latch off mode with an external MOSFET. The programmable current limit and fault time protect the supply and load from excessive current at startup. After startup, currents above the user selected limit are allowed to flow until programmed timeout except in extreme overload events when load is immediately disconnected from source. The low, 25mV current sense threshold is highly accurate and allows use of smaller, more efficient sense resistors, yielding lower powerloss and smaller footprint. A power good output is provided for status monitoring and downstream load control. TPS24701 replaces the LTC4211 in existing designs with no PCB board changes and only minor external component changes yielding a more accurate, efficient solution.
2.5V to 20V operation
Programmable power limit for FET protection
Programmable fault timer
High side drive for external NFET
This EVM should be operated within the input voltage range of 3V to 20V and the output voltage range of 3V to 20V. Exceeding the specified input voltage range may cause damage to the EVM.
