8.2.2.8 Input and Output Protection

Proper operation of the TPS2490 hot swap circuit requires a voltage clamping element present on the supply side of the connector into which the hot swap circuit is plugged in. A TVS is ideal, as depicted in . The TVS is necessary to absorb the voltage transient generated whenever the hot swap circuit shuts off the load current. This effect is the most severe during a hot-short when a large current is suddenly interrupted when the FET shuts off. The TVS should be chosen to have minimal leakage current at VIN,MAX and to clamp the voltage during hot-short events. For many high power applications, SMBJ30A-13-F is a good choice.
