Current Limited Load Switch General Description
The AAT4618 SmartSwitch is a member of AnalogicTech's Application Specific Power MOSFET™ (ASPM™) product family. It is a current limited P-channel MOSFET power switch designed for high-side load switching applications operating with inputs ranging from 2.4V to 5.5V, making it ideal for 2.5V, 3V, and 5V systems. An integrated currentlimiting circuit protects the input supply from large currents which may cause the supply to fall out of regulation. In addition, the AAT4618 thermal overload protection limits power dissipation and junction temperatures associated with prolonged periods of operation in current limit. Due to its low RDS(ON), the AAT4618 can be used to control loads that require up to factory preset 400mA, 500mA, or 1A. The ultra-fast current limit response to a sudden short circuit is a mere 400ns which reduces the requirements of local supply bypassing. An open drain FAULT flag signals an over-current or over-temperature condition after a 4ms timeout. Quiescent current is a low 10µA and the supply current decreases to less than 1µA in shutdown mode. The AAT4618 is available in a Pb-free 5-pin SOT23 or a 8-pin SC70JW package and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. The AAT4600 series is a family of adjustable and fixed voltage SmartSwitch products with a range of current handling capabilities. Single versions with adjustable current limit (AAT4610, AAT4601) or fixed current limit (AAT4625) are available, as well as dual versions with fixed current limit (AAT4626, AAT4670).

Functional Description
The AAT4618 is a single channel current limited load switch that protects against short circuits by current limiting to a preset level. A patented fastacting current limit loop limits the current in a fraction of a microsecond and instantly resets to low impedance once the short-circuit condition is removed. The AAT4618 is internally protected from thermal damage by an over-temperature detection circuit. If the die temperature reaches the internal thermal limit, the power device is switched off until the die temperature cools to a level below the thermal limit threshold. The device will thermal cycle indefinitely until the over-current condition is removed. The AAT4618 operates with
input voltages ranging from 2.4V 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 2.4V, the AAT4618 MOSFET is protected from entering the saturated region of operation by being automatically shut down by an under-voltage lockout circuit. A current limit condition is reported by the open drain FAULT output. A 4ms blanking interval prevents false reporting during the charging of a capacitive load, which typically occurs during device turn-on, but may also occur during a port hot plug-in event. The AAT4618 is ideally suited for protection of peripheral ports such as USB, RS232, and parallel ports.

Current Limited Load Switch Applications Information
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor CIN protects the power supply from current transients generated by the load attached to the AAT4618. When a short circuit is suddenly applied to the output of the AAT4618, a large current, limited only by the RDS(ON) of the MOSFET, will flow for less than 1µs before the current limit circuitry activates. (See characteristic curve "Short Circuit Through 0.3Ω.") In this event, a moderately sized CIN will dramatically reduce the voltage transient seen by the power supply and by other circuitry upstream from the AAT4618. The extremely fast short-circuit response time of the AAT4618 reduces the size requirement of CIN. CIN should be located as close to the device VIN pin as practically possible. Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are appropriate for CIN. There is no specific capacitor 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. When switching the AAT4618 on into a capacitive load, the AAT4618 will charge the output capacitive load at a rate no greater than the current limit setting.
AAT4618
Attaching Loads
Capacitive loads attached to an enabled AAT4618 will charge at a rate no greater than the current limit setting.
FAULT Output
The FAULT flag is provided to alert the system if an AAT4618 load is not receiving sufficient voltage to operate properly. If current limit or over-temperature circuits in any combination are active for more than approximately 4ms, the FAULT flag is pulled to ground through approximately 100Ω. The filtering of voltage or current transients of less than 4ms prevents capacitive loads connected to the AAT4618 output from activating the FAULT flag when they are initially attached. Pull-up resistances of 1kΩ to 100kΩ are recommended. Since FAULT is an open drain terminal, it may be pulled up to any unrelated voltage less than the maximum operating voltage of 5.5V, allowing for level shifting between circuits.
Output Capacitor
In order to insure stability while current limit is active, a low capacitance (approximately 0.47µF) is required. No matter how large the output capacitor, output current is limited to the value set by the AAT4618 current limiting circuitry, so very large output capacitors can be used. For example, USB ports are specified to have at least 120µF of capacitance downstream from their controlling power switch. The current limiting circuit will allow an output capacitance of 1000µF or more without disturbing the upstream power supply.
Thermal Considerations
Since the AAT4618 has internal current limit and over-temperature protection, junction temperature is rarely a concern. However, if the application requires large currents in a hot environment, it is possible that temperature, rather than current limit, will be the dominant regulating condition. In these applications, the maximum current available without risk of an over-temperature condition must be calculated. The maximum internal temperature while current limit is not active can be calculated using Equation 1.
ON (Enable Input)
In many systems, power planes are controlled by integrated circuits which run at lower voltages than the power plane itself. The enable input (ON) of the AAT4618 has low and high threshold voltages that accommodate this condition. The threshold voltages are compatible with 5V TTL and 2.5V to 5V CMOS systems.
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 AAT4618 at high temperature. RθJA is the thermal resistance between the AAT4618 die and the board onto which it is mounted. TA(MAX) is the maximum temperature that the PCB under the
8
4618.2006.05.1.2
Current Limited Load Switch
AAT4618 would be if the AAT4618 were not dissipating power. Equation 1 can be rearranged to solve for IMAX, as shown in Equation 2. For example, if an application is specified to operate in 50°C environments, the PCB operates at temperatures as high as 85°C. The application is sealed and its PCB is small, causing RθJA to be approximately 150 °C/W. Using Equation 2,
AAT4618
Eq. 2: IMAX =
TSD(MIN) - TA(MAX) RDS(ON)(MAX) · RΘJA
Eq. 3: IMAX =
115 - 85 = 950mA 220 · 150
TSD(MIN) is the minimum temperature required to activate the AAT4618 over-temperature protection. With the typical specification of 125°C, 115°C is a safe minimum value to use.
The AAT4618 is safe to operate at the minimum current limit level of 500mA at 85°C.
