Slew Rate Controlled Load Switch General Description
The AAT4250 SmartSwitch is a member of AnalogicTech’s Application Specific Power MOSFET™ (ASPM™) product family. It is a slew rate controlled P-channel MOSFET power switch designed for high-side load switching applications. This switch operates with an input voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V, making it ideal for 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V systems. The part features 1.5ms turn-on and 10µs turn-off time. The AAT4250 has an undervoltage lockout which turns off the switch when an under-voltage condition exists. Input logic levels are TTL compatible. The quiescent supply current is very low, typically 2µA. In shutdown mode, the supply current is typically reduced to 0.1µA or less. The AAT4250 is available in a Pb-free, 5-pin SOT23 (SOT25) package or a Pb-free, 8-pin SC70JW package and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Functional Description
The AAT4250 is a slew rate controlled P-channel MOSFET power switch designed for high-side load switching applications. It operates with input voltages ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V which, along with its extremely low operating current, makes it ideal for battery-powered applications. In cases where the input voltage drops below 1.8V, the AAT4250 MOSFET is protected from entering the saturated region of operation by automatically shutting down. In addition, the TTL compatible ON/OFF pin makes the AAT4250 an ideal level-shifted load switch. The slew rate controlling feature eliminates inrush current when the MOSFET is turned on, allowing the AAT4250 to be used with a small input capacitor, or no input capacitor at all. During slewing, the current ramps linearly until it reaches the level required for the output load condition. The proprietary control method works by careful control and monitoring of the MOSFET gate voltage. When the device is switched ON, the gate voltage is quickly increased to the threshold level of the MOSFET. Once at this level, the current begins to slew as the gate voltage is slowly increased until the MOSFET becomes fully enhanced. Once it has reached this point, the gate is quickly increased to the full input voltage and RDS(ON) is minimized. 8
Applications Information
Input Capacitor
A 1µF or larger capacitor is typically recommended for CIN in most applications. A CIN capacitor is not required for basic operation; however, it is useful in preventing load transients from affecting upstream circuits. CIN should be located as close to the device VIN pin as practically possible. Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors may be selected for CIN. There is no specific capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR) requirement for CIN. However, for higher current operation, ceramic capacitors are recommended for CIN due to their inherent capability over tantalum capacitors to withstand input current surges from low-impedance sources, such as batteries in portable devices.
Output Capacitor
For proper slew operation, a 0.1µF capacitor or greater is required between VOUT and GND. Likewise, with the output capacitor, there is no specific capacitor ESR requirement. If desired, COUT may be increased without limit to accommodate any load transient condition without adversely affecting the slew rate.

Enable Function
The AAT4250 features an enable / disable function. This pin (ON) is active high and is compatible with TTL or CMOS logic. To assure the load switch will turn on, the ON control level must be greater than 2.0V. The load switch will go into shutdown mode when the voltage on the ON pin falls below 0.8V. When the load switch is in shutdown mode, the OUT pin is tri-stated, and quiescent current drops to leakage levels below 1µA. At any given ambient temperature (TA), the maximum package power dissipation can be determined by the following equation: TJ(MAX) - TA θJA
PD(MAX) =
Reverse Output-to-Input Voltage Conditions and Protection
Under normal operating conditions, a parasitic diode exists between the output and input of the load switch. The input voltage should always remain greater than the output load voltage, maintaining a reverse bias on the internal parasitic diode. Conditions where VOUT might exceed VIN should be avoided since this would forward bias the internal parasitic diode and allow excessive current flow into the VOUT pin, possibly damaging the load switch. In applications where there is a possibility of VOUT exceeding VIN for brief periods of time during normal operation, the use of a larger value CIN capacitor is highly recommended. A larger value of CIN with respect to COUT will effect a slower CIN decay rate during shutdown, thus preventing VOUT from exceeding VIN. In applications where there is a greater danger of VOUT exceeding VIN for extended periods of time, it is recommended to place a Schottky diode from VIN to VOUT (connecting the cathode to VIN and anode to VOUT). The Schottky diode forward voltage should be less than 0.45V.
Constants for the AAT4250 are maximum junction temperature (TJ(MAX) = 125°C) and package thermal resistance (ΘJA = 150°C/W). Worst case conditions are calculated at the maximum operating temperature, TA = 85°C. Typical conditions are calculated under normal ambient conditions where TA = 25°C. At TA = 85°C, PD(MAX) = 267mW. At TA = 25°C, PD(MAX) = 667mW. The maximum continuous output current for the AAT4250 is a function of the package power dissipation and the RDS of the MOSFET at TJ(MAX). The maximum RDS of the MOSFET at TJ(MAX) is calculated by increasing the maximum room temperature RDS by the RDS temperature coefficient. The temperature coefficient (TC) is 2800ppm/°C. Therefore, at 125°C: RDS(MAX) = RDS(25°C) × (1 + TC × ∆T) RDS(MAX) = 175mΩ × (1 + 0.002800 × (125°C - 25°C)) RDS(MAX) = 224mΩ For maximum current, refer to the following equation:
1
⎛ PD(MAX)⎞ 2 IOUT(MAX) < ⎝ R ⎠ DS For example, if VIN = 5V, RDS(MAX) = 224mΩ, and TA = 25°C, IOUT(MAX) = 1.7A. If the output load current were to exceed 1.7A or if the ambient temperature were to increase, the internal die temperature would increase and the device would be damaged. Higher peak currents can be obtained with the AAT4250. To accomplish this, the device thermal resistance must be reduced by increasing the heat sink area or by operating the load switch in a dutycycle manner. Duty cycles with peaks less than 2ms in duration can be considered using the method below.
Thermal Considerations and High Output Current Applications
The AAT4250 is designed to deliver a continuous output load current. The limiting characteristic for maximum safe operating output load current is package power dissipation. In order to obtain high operating currents, careful device layout and circuit operating conditions must be taken into account. The following discussions will assume the load switch is mounted on a printed circuit board utilizing the minimum recommended footprint as stated in the Printed Circuit Board Layout Recommendations section of this datasheet.

Slew Rate Controlled Load Switch
High Peak Output Current Applications
Some applications require the load switch to operate at a continuous nominal current level with short duration, high-current peaks. Refer to the IDM specification in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table to ensure the AAT4250’s maximum pulsed current rating is not exceeded. The duty cycle for both output current levels must be taken into account. To do so, first calculate the power dissipation at the nominal continuous current level, and then add the additional power dissipation due to the short duration, high-current peak scaled by the duty factor. For example, a 4V system using an AAT4250 operates at a continuous 100mA load current level and has short 2A current peaks, as in a GSM application. The current peak occurs for 576µs out of a 4.61ms period. First, the current duty cycle is calculated: % Peak Duty Cycle: X/100 = 576µs/4.61ms % Peak Duty Cycle = 12.5% The load current is 100mA for 87.5% of the 4.61ms period and 2A for 12.5% of the period. Since the Electrical Characteristics do not report RDS(MAX) for 4V operation, it must be approximated by consulting the chart of RDS(ON) vs. VIN. The RDS reported for 5V RDS can be scaled by the ratio seen in the chart to derive the RDS for 4V VIN: 175mΩ x 120mΩ/115mΩ = 183mΩ. Derated for temperature: 183mΩ x (1 + 0.002800 x (125°C -25°C)) = 235mΩ. The power dissipation for a 100mA load is calculated as follows: PD(MAX) = I2OUT x RDS PD(100mA) = (100mA)2 x 235mΩ PD(100mA) = 2.35mW PD(87.5%D/C) = %DC x PD(100mA) PD(87.5%D/C) = 0.875 x 2.35mW PD(87.5%D/C) = 2.1mW The power dissipation for 100mA load at 87.5% duty cycle is 2.1mW. Now the power dissipation for the remaining 12.5% of the duty cycle at 2A is calculated: PD(MAX) = I2OUT x RDS PD(2A) = (2A)2 x 235mΩ PD(2A) = 940mW PD(12.5%D/C) = %DC x PD(2A) PD(12.5%D/C) = 0.125 x 940mW PD(12.5%D/C) = 117.5mW The power dissipation for 2A load at 12.5% duty cycle is 117mW. Finally, the two power figures are summed to determine the total true power dissipation under the varied load. PD(total) = PD(100mA) + PD(2A) PD(total) = 2.1mW + 117.5mW PD(total) = 120mW The maximum power dissipation for the AAT4250 operating at an ambient temperature of 85°C is 267mW. The device in this example will have a total power dissipation of 120mW. This is well within the thermal limits for safe operation of the device; in fact, at 85°C, the AAT4250 will handle a 2A pulse for up to 28% duty cycle. At lower ambient temperatures, the duty cycle can be further increased.
Printed Circuit Board Layout Recommendations
For proper thermal management, and to take advantage of the low RDS(ON) of the AAT4250, a few circuit board layout rules should be followed: VIN and VOUT should be routed using wider than normal traces, and GND should be connected to a ground plane. For best performance, CIN and COUT should be placed close to the package pins.
