The TPS2061 from Texas Instruments is a robust, single-channel, current-limited power distribution switch designed for USB applications. This compact and efficient device is tailored to manage power distribution and limit faults in a USB port by providing up to 1.5A of continuous current. It is an ideal solution for systems that require power distribution and protection for USB peripherals.

Key Features:

• Current Limiting: The TPS2061 provides precision current limiting to protect the host device from overcurrent conditions. This feature ensures safe operation for both the host and the connected peripheral devices.
• Thermal Shutdown: With an integrated thermal shutdown mechanism, the device prevents overheating by automatically shutting down if the die temperature exceeds a safe threshold.
• Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO): The UVLO feature ensures that the switch remains off until the supply voltage reaches a safe operating level, preventing malfunction at low voltages.
• Fast Overcurrent Response: The TPS2061 reacts quickly to overcurrent events, providing rapid protection for sensitive components.
• Reverse Voltage Protection: This device protects the system from potential damage due to reverse voltage conditions.
