1.8A Current Limited P-Channel Switch General Description
The AAT4601 SmartSwitch is a member of AnalogicTech's Application Specific Power MOSFET™ (ASPM™) product family. It is a 1.8A current limited P-channel MOSFET power switch designed for high-side load switching applications. This switch operates with inputs ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it ideal for both 3V and 5V systems. An integrated current-limiting circuit protects the input supply against large changes in load current which could cause the supply to fall out of regulation. The AAT4601 has protection from thermal overload which limits power dissipation and junction temperatures. The maximum current limit level will guarantee that 1.8A can be delivered to the load; the actual threshold is programmed with a resistor from the SET pin to ground. The quiescent supply current is typically 12µA. In shutdown mode, the supply current decreases to less than 1µA. The AAT4601 is available in a Pb-free, 8-pin SOP, TSSOP, or MSOP package and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Functional Description
The AAT4601 is an integrated MOSFET load switch with an adjustable current limit, over-temperature protection, level-shifted input, and a fault flag. The current limit control is combined with an over-temperature thermal limit circuit to provide a comprehensive system to protect the load switch under short-circuit or other adverse operating conditions. The AAT4601 is ideally suited for control and protection of peripheral ports such as USB, RS232, and parallel ports. The current limit and over-temperature circuits will act independently. The device current limit is activated when the output load current exceeds an internal threshold level. The internal current limit threshold is determined by an external resistor connected between the SET pin and ground. The minimum current limit threshold is specified by ILIM(MIN). If the load switch ambient temperature becomes excessive or if a short-circuit condition persists, the die temperature will rise, causing the over-temperature protection circuit to activate. If a current limit level less than ILIM(MIN) is required, the AAT4601 can be used to operate in foldback 8
current limit mode. To achieve this, an RSET value can be chosen to program a current limit lower than ILIM(MIN); in this case, when the load current reaches ILIM(MIN), the current will immediately drop, limiting at the programmed value. If the current limit or over-temperature protection circuits are active for more than 2ms, the system will be informed via the FAULT flag. The 2ms delay allows the AAT4601 to be turned on into capacitive loads without activating the FAULT flag. The open drain FAULT output can be connected directly to system controllers driven by voltage levels less than the IN pin voltage without additional level shifting circuitry. The load switch is turned off by applying a logic high level to the ON pin. The AAT4601 typically consumes 12µA when operating; when off, the device draws less than 1µA. In the off state, current is prevented from flowing between the input and output. The ON function has logic level thresholds that allow the AAT4601 to be TTL compatible and may also be controlled by 2.5V to 5.0V CMOS circuits. The voltage level on either ON or FAULT should not exceed the input supply level present on the IN pin.

1.8A Current Limited P-Channel Switch Applications Information
Setting Current Limit
A simple three-step procedure can be used to adjust the AAT4601's current limit. First, the maximum current required by the load should be determined. Second, select a resistor that guarantees adequate current is available to the load under normal conditions. Finally, the maximum current that can pass through the switch can be calculated and compared to the maximum current available. Step 1: The maximum current required by a load is usually defined in port specifications design application references. For example, USB ports may be specified to support loads of up to 500mA. Step 2: The most convenient method for determining a current limit resistor value is to look it up in Table 1, "Current Limit RSET Values.". Find the lowest current value that is greater than the maximum load current in the given application; refer to the column, "Device Will Not Current Limit Below." The resistor value needed is in the corresponding row named "RSET." For example, a USB port requires 500mA. The lowest level where the device will current limit above 500mA is 516mA. The corresponding resistor value for RSET would be 2kΩ. Step 3: Now the required resistor value has been determined. The maximum current that can be drawn, even with a short circuit applied to the output, can be determined by referring to the column labeled, "Device Always Current Limits Below." If the power supply connected to the AAT4601's input can provide this current level, the power supply voltage will not collapse when a short circuit is applied to the load switch output. For example, a notebook computer has a USB port which is powered by an AAT4601 with a 2kΩ resistor connected between the SET pin and GND. If the power supply connected to the AAT4601's IN pin can provide more than 917mA, this supply will remain in regulation even if a short circuit is applied to the USB port. RSET (Ω)

Operation in Current Limit
If an excessive load is applied to the output of an AAT4601, the load current will be limited by the device's current limit circuitry. Refer to Figure 1, Overload Operation. If a short circuit were to occur on the load, it would demand more current than allowed by the internal current limiting circuit and the voltage at the AAT4601's output would drop. This causes the AAT4601 to dissipate more power than in normal operation, causing the die temperature to increase. When die temperature exceeds the internal over-temperature threshold, the AAT4601 will shut down. After shutting down, the AAT4601 cools to a level below the over-temperature threshold, at which point it will start up again. The AAT4601 will continue to cycle off and on until one of the following events occurs: the load current is reduced to a level below the AAT4601's current limit setting; the input power is removed; or the output is turned off by a logic high level applied to the ON pin. load. In these applications, the maximum current available without risk of activation of the over-temperature circuit can be calculated. The maximum internal temperature while current limit is not active can be calculated using Equation 1:
AAT4601
Eq. 1: TJ(MAX) = IMAX2 × RDS(ON)(MAX) × RθJA + TA(MAX)
In Equation 1, IMAX is the maximum current required by the load. RDS(ON)(MAX) is the maximum rated RDS(ON) of the AAT4601 at high temperature. RθJA is the thermal resistance between the AAT4601's die and the board onto which it is mounted. TA(MAX) is the maximum ambient temperature for the printed circuit board assembly under the AAT4601 when the load switch is not dissipating power. Equation 1 can be transformed to provide IMAX; Refer to Equation 2:
Thermal Considerations
Since the AAT4601 has internal current limit and over-temperature protection, junction temperature is rarely a concern. If an application requires a large load current in a high-temperature operating environment, there is the possibility that the over-temperature protection circuit, rather than the current limit circuit, will regulate the current available to the
Eq. 2: IMAX =
TSD(MIN) - TA(MAX) RDS(ON)(MAX) × RΘJA
TSD(MIN) is the minimum temperature required to activate the AAT4601's over-temperature protection. With a typical specification of 125°C, 115°C is a safe minimum value to use.

1.8A Current Limited P-Channel Switch
For example, a portable device is specified to operate in a 50°C environment. The printed circuit board assembly will operate at temperatures as high as 85°C. This portable device has a sealed case and the area of the printed board assembly is relatively small, causing RθJA to be approximately 120°C/W. Using Equation 2: ed using the ON function, there are no momentary current transients, as in the case when a short circuit is suddenly applied to a device that is already on; refer to the characteristic curve, "Switch Turn-On Time." No matter how big the output capacitor, output current is limited to the value allowed by the threshold determined by RSET and the internal current limiting circuitry. This permits very large output capacitors to be used. For example, USB ports are specified to have at least 120µF of downstream capacitance from their controlling power switch. An output capacitance as large as 1000µF would not disturb the input power supply to the AAT4601 used to control the USB port.
AAT4601
Eq. 3: IMAX =
115 - 85 = 1.4A 130 · 120
If this system requires less than 1.4A, the thermal limit will not activate during normal operation.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor serves two purposes. First, it protects the source power supply from transient current effects generated by the application load circuit. If a short circuit is suddenly applied to the output of an AAT4601, there is a microsecond-long period during which a large current can flow before the current limit circuitry activates; refer to the characteristic curve, "Short-Circuit Through 0.3Ω." A properly sized input capacitor can dramatically reduce the load switch input transient response effects seen by the power supply and other circuitry upstream from the AAT4601. The second purpose of the input capacitor is to prevent transient events generated by the load circuit from affecting operation of the AAT4601. For example, if an AAT4601 is used in a circuit that operates from a 3V power supply with poor step load response, it is possible that turning on the load switch could cause the input power supply to droop below the AAT4601's under-voltage lockout threshold. This drop in voltage would cause the AAT4601 to turn off until the input power supply voltage recovers. Since this cycle would be self-perpetuating, the entire circuit could be seen to be unstable. In the very rare case where capacitor cost is prohibitive, the output load circuit should be slew rate limited when turned on.
ON Input
When the AAT4601 is in the off state, the output is an open circuit and the device quiecent current consumption is reduced to less than 1µA. The ON threshold voltage is set to allow the AAT4601 to be controlled by 5V TTL levels, as well as CMOS power from 2.5V to 5V. The ON function control voltage level should not exceed the input supply level applied to the IN pin.
FAULT Output
A FAULT flag is provided to alert a system if the load switch is not receiving a sufficient voltage level to properly operate. If either the current limit or overtemperature circuits in any combination are active for more than approximately 2ms continuously, the FAULT pin is pulled to ground internally through a 100Ω resistance. The 2ms delay on the FAULT function is intended to prevent capacitive loads connected to the load switch output from activating FAULT when the device is turned on. The placement of a pull-up resistor between the FAULT pin and the IN pin is recommended. Reasonable values for the pull-up resistor should range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ. Since FAULT is an open drain terminal, it may be pulled up to any voltage that is not greater than the level present on the IN pin. This is done to allow the AAT4601 to signal ancillary circuitry that is powered by a voltage level less than the level on the IN pin.
Output Capacitor
In order to insure stability while the device current limit is active, a small capacitance of approximately 1µF should be used. When the AAT4601 is activat-
