Figure 18. Design Example Schematic
1. Calculate maximum R
RFLT
to ensure that minimum I
FAULT
is above maximum operating load current using
Equation 16 as shown below in Equation 21.
(21)
● Choose a standard 1% value below R
RFLT,max
for R
RFLT
= 47.5kΩ
● I
FAULT,min
= 3.738A using Equation 13 and will meet the maximum operating current requirement of
3.7A without starting the fault timer during maximum steady state operation for R
RFLT
= 47.5kΩ, 1%.
● I
FAULT,max
= 4.674A using Equation 14 for R
RFLT
= 47.5kΩ, 1%.
2. Based on maximum I
FAULT
= 4.674A, choose minimum I
LIM
= 4.7A.
● Calculate R
RLIM,max
= 38.9kΩ using Equation 20 and 1% tolerance.
● Choose a standard 1% value below R
RLIM,max
for R
RLIM
= 38.3kΩ.
● I
LIM,min
= 4.779A and I
LIM,max
= 5.705A using Equation 17 and Equation 18 for R
RLIM
= 38.3kΩ, 1%.
3. Minimum R
LOAD
at start up using Equation 11 is 12Ω. Since R
LOAD
= 13Ω is present during circuit start up,
use t
ON
= 12ms from Table 2 for C
LOAD
= 100µF and R
LOAD
= 13Ω.
● Calculate C
CT
= 0.39µF including C
LOAD
and C
CT
tolerances (C
LOAD_TOL
= 20% and C
CT_TOL
= 10%)
using Equation 22.

Transient Protection
The need for transient protection in conjunction with hot-swap controllers should always be considered. When
the TPS2590 interrupts current flow, input inductance generates a positive voltage spike on the input and output
inductance generates a negative voltage spike on the output. Such transients can easily exceed twice the supply
voltage if steps are not taken to address the issue. Typical methods for addressing transients include;
• Minimizing lead length/inductance into and out of the device.
• Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) on the input to absorb inductive spikes.
• Shottky diode across the output to absorb negative spikes.
• A combination of ceramic and electrolytic capacitors on the input and output to absorb energy.
The following equation estimates the magnitude of these voltage spikes:
