At the full 1.4 A output, that's about 157 mW of dissipation per channel — manageable in the 10-VSON with its exposed thermal pad, but you'll want a solid copper pour on the pad's PCB footprint to keep the junction below the 125°C ceiling. The output configuration is high-side or low-side, selectable, which gives flexibility for positive-rail or ground-referenced switching depending on your USB port topology. ## Fault protection set — adjustable current limit, OTP, UVLO The TPS2500DRCT includes adjustable current limiting, over-temperature protection, and undervoltage lockout. The current limit is set with an external resistor, so you can dial in the trip point between the 1.4 A maximum and whatever the downstream load actually needs — useful for USB ports that must survive a hard short without browning out the host supply. A status flag output signals fault conditions — over-current or over-temperature — which can be fed back to a GPIO on the host controller for software-level port management or system shutdown. ## Temperature range and package — where this part lives The input-to-output ratio is 1:2, meaning one input rail feeds two independent switch channels.","metaTitle":"TPS2500DRCT USB Switch with Boost Converter, 80 mOhm, Active","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments TPS2500DRCT dual 1.4 A USB power switch with integrated boost converter. 80 mOhm Rds(on), adjustable current limit, -40°C to 125°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Power Management (PMIC / Gate Driver)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Boost Converter, Status Flag","Interface":"Logic","Input Type":"Non-Inverting","Output Type":"N/P-Channel","Switch Type":"USB Switch","Rds On (Typ)":"80mOhm","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"10-VFDFN Exposed Pad","Product Status":"Active","Voltage - Load":"1.8V ~ 5.25V","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Fault Protection":"Current Limiting (Adjustable), Over Temperature, UVLO","Number of Outputs":"2","Base Product Number":"TPS2500","Output Configuration":"High Side or Low Side","Ratio - Input:Output":"1:2","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~125°C(TJ)","Current - Output (Max)":"1.4A","Supplier Device Package":"10-VSON (3x3)","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"Not Required"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.5300","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/6b93f5e2d007c9ecc545c32f9cd80308.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/TPS2500DRCT/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is TPS2500DRCT a direct replacement for TPS2500DRCR?","answer":"The TPS2500DRCT and TPS2500DRCR share the same base product number TPS2500 and the same 10-VSON (3x3) package. The difference is in the shipping medium: the DRCT suffix indicates Tape & Reel packaging, while the DRCR suffix typically indicates a different reel or tube quantity. Electrically they are identical — the same die, same ratings, same boost converter and fault protection set. If your BOM calls for DRCR and you have DRCT on hand, the swap is fine as long as the packaging format matches your pick-and-place setup."},{"question":"Does TPS2500DRCT have a boost converter built in?","answer":"Yes — the boost converter is listed as a feature of the TPS2500DRCT. It allows the device to generate a higher output voltage (up to 5.25 V) from a lower input rail, which is what makes this part different from a plain USB switch. The boost converter and the dual power switch share the same package, saving board space and a separate boost regulator IC."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TPS2500DRCT","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TPS2500DRCT when reusing this data.
