TPS25990 Evaluation Module for eFuse
This user's guide describes the evaluation module (EVM) for the TPS25990 eFuse. The TPS25990 device
is a 2.9-V to 16-V and 50-A stackable eFuse with a PMBus
configuration, and debugging. This device provides an accurate and fast load current monitor output, which
helps in Intel PSYS
™
and PROCHOT
TPS25985
eFuses for higher current designs by actively synchronizing the device states and sharing the loads
during start-up and steady-state.
The TPS25990 eFuse has an integrated FET with ultra-low ON resistance of 0.8-mΩ, adjustable and robust
overcurrent and short-circuits protections, fast overvoltage protection (fixed 16.7-V threshold in hardware
and adjustable through PMBus), adjustable output slew rate control for inrush current protection, and
overtemperature protection to verify FET safe operating area (SOA). The TPS25990 eFuse also has an
adjustable overcurrent transient blanking timer to support load transients, adjustable undervoltage protection,
integrated FET health monitoring, and reporting, analog die temperature monitor output, dedicated fault and
power good indication pins, and uncommitted general purpose fast comparator.
