    This device supports I2C standard mode, fast mode, and fast+ mode. The TPL1401 provides the FB pin to configure the output as a programmable current sink using an external MOSFET. The TPL1401 is simple to program using an I2C interface at factory or in real-time. An integrated nonvolatile memory (NVM) enables factory programming for trimming and calibration applications.
