80 mOhm Rds(on) — the conduction loss floor
Its 80 mOhm typical on-resistance at 500 mA output sets a conduction loss of about 20 mW at full load — negligible in most designs, but worth checking if the board is in a sealed enclosure with no airflow.
500 mA output with built-in fault protection
Rated for 500 mA continuous output, the TPS2051ADG4 includes fixed current limiting, over-temperature shutdown, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) — all on-chip. The switch is non-inverting and driven by a logic-level On/Off input.
Listed as Active in the product lifecycle, the TPS2051ADG4 carries no imminent end-of-life notice.
