TPS2H160BQPWPRQ1 Description
The TPS2H160BQPWPRQ1 is a smart high-side switch with a built-in charge pump and dual-channel NMOS power FETs . The load may be intelligently controlled thanks to full diagnostics and high-accuracy current-sense features. The configurable current-limit mechanism considerably improves the system's overall reliability. The open-drain digital output (version A) and the current-sense analog output (version B) have different diagnostic reporting (version B).
The gadget uses an open-drain structure to implement the digital fault report in version A. The device pulls STx down to GND when a failure occurs. To match the microcontroller supply level, a 3.3- or 5-V external pullup is necessary. Each channel's digital status can be reported individually or collectively by connecting the STx pins together.
For version B, high-accuracy current sense improves diagnostic accuracy without requiring further calibration. 1 / K(CS) of the load current can be provided by a single integrated current mirror. The mirrored current enters the CS-pin resistor and transforms into a voltage signal. K(CS) is a constant value that remains constant regardless of temperature or supply voltage. A large linear range of 0 to 4 V provides for more accurate real-time load-current monitoring. With VCS pullup voltage, the CS pin can also notify a fault (H).
Applications can set the current-limit value using the external high-accuracy current limit. When there is an overcurrent, the device increases system reliability by effectively clamping the inrush current. By lowering the size of PCB traces and connectors, as well as the capacity of the previous power stage, the device can reduce system costs. In addition, the device has an inbuilt current restriction with a preset setting.
To protect itself from inductive loads (relays, solenoids, and valves), the gadget uses an active clamp between drain and source. On the high-side switch, both the energy of the power supply and the load is dissipated during the inductive switching-off cycle. When the clamp is active, the device also optimizes the switching-off slew rate, which aids system design by reducing the effects of transient power and EMI.
The TPS2H160BQPWPRQ1 is a smart high-side switch for low-wattage bulbs, LEDs, relays, solenoids, heaters, and sub-modules, among other resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads.

TPS2H160BQPWPRQ1 Layout
TJ must be less than 150°C to avoid thermal shutdown. The thermal impedance of the HTSSOP package is excellent. The PCB layout, on the other hand, is critical. A good PCB design can improve heat transfer, which is critical for the device's long-term durability.
• Maximize the copper coverage on the PCB to increase the thermal conductivity of the board. The major heat flow path from the package to the ambient is through the copper on the PCB. Maximum copper is extremely important when there are not any heat sinks attached to the PCB on the other side of the package.
• Add as many thermal vias as possible directly under the package ground pad to optimize the thermal conductivity of the board.
• All thermal vias should either be plated shut or plugged and capped on both sides of the board to prevent solder voids, To ensure reliability and performance, the solder coverage should be at least 85%.
Without a GND Network
Without a GND network, tie the thermal pad directly to the board GND copper for better thermal performance.

Layout Example Without a GND Network
With a GND Network
With a GND network, tie the thermal pad as one trace to the board GND copper.
