18 V, 5 A electronic fuse in a 3x3 mm package
The Texas Instruments TPS259271DRCT is an integrated electronic fuse (eFuse) with a BFET driver, protecting downstream circuitry on 4.5 V to 18 V power rails. It delivers up to 5 A continuous output and is specified over the -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range.
The pad must be connected to the ground plane with multiple vias to keep the junction temperature within the -40°C to 85°C operating range at 5 A continuous output. The Cut Tape option is useful for prototyping or low-volume builds.
