FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The TPS2421 device provides highly integrated hot

• Integrated Pass MOSFET
swap power management and superior protection in
• Up to 20-V Bus Operation
applications where the load is powered by busses up
• Programmable Fault Current
to 20 V. The TPS2421 device is well suited to
standard bus voltages as low as 3.3 V because of the
• Current Limit Proportionally Larger than Fault
maximum-UV turn-on threshold of 2.9 V. These
Current
devices are very effective in systems where a voltage

(TPS2421-2) Versions
The TPS2421 device has multiple programmable

current limit, and a fault timer. The current dual
thresholds allow the system to draw short high
