The TPS1689x is an integrated high current circuit protection and power management solution in a small package. The device provides multiple protection modes using very few external components and is a robust defense against overloads, short circuits and excessive inrush current. The integrated PMBus™ interface allows a host controller to monitor, control and configure the system in real-time. Key system parameters can be read back for remote telemetry. Various protection/warning thresholds and coefficients can be configured through PMBus or stored in non-volatile configuration memory. An integrated fast and accurate sense analog load current monitor facilitates predictive maintenance and advanced dynamic platform power management such as Intel® PSYS and PROCHOT to optimize server and data-center performance. Blackbox fault recording feature helps in debug of field failure/returns. For higher current support, TPS1689x can be connected in parallel with TPS1685x. The devices are characterized for operation over a junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
