TPS2001D USB Power Distribution Switch

Texas Instruments TPS2001D USB Power Distribution Switch is intended for applications where heavy capacitive loads and short circuits are likely to be encountered, such as USB. The TPS2001D limits the output current to a safe level by operating in a constant-current mode when the output load exceeds the current limit threshold. This feature provides a predictable fault current under all conditions. The fast overload response time eases the burden on the main 5V supply to provide regulated power when the output is shorted. The power-switch rise and fall times are controlled to minimize current surges during turn on and turn off.
