Automotive USB port protector with 4.5V to 36V input range
The Texas Instruments TPS25840QWRHBTQ1 is an automotive-grade USB protection IC designed for USB ports in vehicles, rated for a 4.5V to 36V supply range that covers nominal 12V and 24V automotive electrical systems including load-dump transients.
700 µA quiescent current — always-on USB port budget
The 700 µA supply current is the quiescent draw for the protection and control logic. In a vehicle with multiple always-on USB ports, this current sums across ports and must fit within the module's sleep-mode budget — a key number for battery-drain compliance testing. The 32-VFQFN exposed pad package with wettable flank terminals supports automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints, a requirement in automotive assembly lines where hidden solder defects under the package are not acceptable.
