  • PMBus digital telemetry (vs TPS25982)
  • Stackable design (vs TPS25985)

Design Notes

At 20A and 3.5mΞ© RON, power dissipation is approximately 1.4W. Ensure adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias to keep junction temperature within limits. Refer to the TI datasheet for thermal resistance values and recommended layout.

Place input and output capacitors close to the device pins to minimize parasitic inductance. Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors for high-frequency decoupling. Follow the layout guidelines in the datasheet to ensure stable operation and accurate current sensing.

Do not exceed the absolute maximum input voltage of 92V. Ensure the PMBus address is correctly configured to avoid communication conflicts. Verify the current limit setting matches the application requirements to prevent nuisance trips.
