1 Device Overview

The TPS7H2201-SP is a space grade, radiation-hardened, 1.5 to 7 V, 6 A ,e-fuse. The device contains a P-channel MOSFET as the switch element. The device supports a maximum of six amps of continuous current and provides a programmable current limit pin and fast current trip for overcurrent load protection. Additional features of the device include the following:

• Programmable soft start (used to limit the inrush current)
• Reverse current protection
• Programmable fault timers for current limit and re-try modes
• Thermal shutdown
• Programmable EN and OVP voltage
• A pin (CS) that outputs a current proportional to the current across the pass element for health monitoring

The device is offered in a thermally enhanced 16-pin ceramic, dual in-line flat-pack package. Table 1-1 lists the general device information and test conditions. See the TPS7H2201-SP product page for more detailed technical specifications, user guides, and applications notes.
