The maximum current rating of the TPS2044DR is 4A per channel, with a total current limit of 8A for both channels combined.
To ensure proper thermal management, it is recommended to provide a heat sink or thermal pad to the exposed thermal pad on the bottom of the package, and to keep the ambient temperature below 85°C.
The minimum input voltage required for the TPS2044DR is 2.7V, but it is recommended to use a minimum input voltage of 3.3V for optimal performance.
The TPS2044DR is rated for operation up to 85°C, but it can be used in high-temperature environments up to 125°C with derating. However, it is recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for specific guidance on high-temperature operation.
The TPS2044DR has built-in overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) features. However, it is recommended to add external protection circuitry, such as a voltage supervisor or a transient voltage suppressor, to ensure robust protection against voltage transients and faults.
