The TPS2491DGSR is an IC component from Texas Instruments designed to protect circuitry from overcurrent and short circuit events. It is a precision bidirectional current sense monitor and control device that offers features such as fault reporting and adjustable current limit settings.
The TPS2491DGSR is intended for use in applications where power needs to be accurately monitored and protected. It operates over a wide voltage range, from 2.5V to 18V, making it suitable for a variety of power supply designs. The device is available in a small 10-pin VSSOP package, enabling compact system designs.
One of the key features of TPS2491DGSR is its bidirectional current sensing capability. This allows the device to measure current flowing in both directions, making it ideal for applications where power flow needs to be monitored in both supply and load directions. The bidirectional sensing feature eliminates the need for separate monitoring components and simplifies the design.
In addition to the bidirectional sensing, the TPS2491DGSR offers a programmable current limit feature. This enables users to set the maximum current allowed to flow through the device. Adjustable current limits provide flexibility in various applications, ensuring that the load is protected from excessive current. The current limiting threshold can be set using external resistors, making it easy to customize the protection level.
