To elaborate on the previously mentioned amount of board space and BOM savings with the NIS3071 eFuse over discrete implementations, one such example is shown here. With a discrete implementation, it would require a diode, a pass transistor, a control transistor, a resistor, a capacitor, and a precision op amp. The total PCB area consumed by this option is close to 70mm^². However, one can achieve this same functionality with just a single NIS3071 eFuse in a 5mm by 6mm package. This consumes 30mm^² of board space, which is only 43% of board area required for the discrete implementation. In addition to higher part count and board size are more savings. More components require PCB traces which lead to higher stray capacitance and higher inductance in the circuit. This higher parasitic capacitance and inductance can cause larger voltage spikes, up to 2x higher than normal operating voltage.
