TPS2556DRBT

Texas Instruments · Power Distribution Switches · SON-8-EP(3x3)

TPS2556DRBT from Texas Instruments, in a SON-8-EP(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Ground connection; connect externally to PowerPAD.
2 IN input Input voltage supply; connect a 0.1-µF or greater ceramic capacitor from IN to GND as close to the IC as possible.
3 IN input Input voltage supply; connect a 0.1-µF or greater ceramic capacitor from IN to GND as close to the IC as possible.
4 EN input Enable input for TPS2556; logic low turns on the power switch.
5 ILIM output Current-limit threshold setting pin; external resistor (20 kΩ ≤ RILIM ≤ 187 kΩ recommended) connects from this pin to GND.
6 OUT output Power-switch output.
7 OUT output Power-switch output.
8 FAULT tri_state Active-low open-drain output; asserts low during overcurrent or overtemperature conditions.
9 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: TPS2556DRBT
  • Footprint: Package_SON:WSON-8-1EP_3x3mm_P0.5mm_EP1.6x2.0mm
  • 3D model: SON-8-EP(3x3) (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: tps2556drbt-etched.step / tps2556drbt-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); tps2556drbt.step / tps2556drbt.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (30 pp, sha256 3101cae5b7acce21, retrieved 2026-10-03, tier: lcsc)
