Texas Instruments TPS25984B Stackable eFuses

Texas Instruments TPS25984B Stackable eFuses are high-current, stackable integrated hotswap protection devices that offer multiple protection modes using minimum external components. These devices can be stacked in parallel to increase the total current capacity for high-power systems. The TPS25984B eFuses integrate high accurate analog load current monitor, which allows the system to monitor the load current in steady state and during transients. This allows the implementation of advanced dynamic platform power management techniques such as Intel® PSYS and PROCHOT™. 

The TPS25984B eFuses feature an integrated FET health monitoring and reporting, dedicated fault indication pin, 55A rated RMS current, and fast-trip response (<200ns) to output short circuit events. These devices operate within the -40°C to 125°C temperature range and 4.5V to 16V input voltage range. The TPS25984B eFuses are used in network interface cards, data center switches, routers, fan trays, servers, and high performance computing.
