Functional Description
Overview
The PI5PD2556/2557 is a single-channel, current-limited power-distribution switch using N-channel MOSFETs for applications
where short circuits or heavy capacitive loads will be encountered. This device allows the user to program the current-limit
threshold between 500 mA and 5.0 A (typ) via an external resistor. This device incorporates an internal charge pump and gate
drive circuitry necessary to drive the N-channel MOSFETs. The charge pump supplies power to the driver circuit for each channel
and provides the necessary voltage to pull the gate of the MOSFET above the source. The charge pump operates from input
voltages as low as 2.5 V and requires little supply current. The driver controls the gate voltage of the power switch. The driver
incorporates circuitry that controls the rise and fall times of the output voltage to limit large current and voltage surges and
provides built-in soft-start functionality. The PI5PD2556/2557 limits the output current to the programmed current-limit threshold
IOS during an over-current or short-circuit event by reducing the charge pump voltage driving the N-channel MOSFET and
operating it in the linear range of operation. The result of limiting the output current to IOS reduces the output voltage at OUT
because the N-channel MOSFET is no longer fully enhanced.

PI5PD2556/PI5PD2557
Over-current Conditions
When an over-current condition is detected, the device maintains a constant output current and reduces the output voltage
accordingly.
The PI5PD2556/2557 thermal cycles if an overload condition is present long enough to activate thermal limiting in any of the
above cases. The device turns off when the junction temperature exceeds 135°C (min) while in current limit. The device remains
off until the junction temperature cools 20°C (typ) and then restarts. The PI5PD2556/2557 cycles on/off until the overload is
removed.
/FAULT Response
The FAULT open-drain outputs are asserted (active low) during an over-current or over-temperature condition. The
PI5PD2556/2557 asserts the FAULTx signal until the fault condition is removed and the device resumes normal operation. The
PI5PD2556/2557 is designed to eliminate false FAULT reporting by using an internal delay "deglitch" circuit (9-ms typ) for overcurrent conditions without the need for external circuitry. This ensures that FAULT is not accidentally asserted due to normal
operation such as starting into a heavy capacitive load. The deglitch circuitry delays entering and leaving current-limited induced
fault conditions. The FAULT signal is not deglitched when the MOSFET is disabled due to an over-temperature condition but is
deglitched after the device has cooled and begins to turn on. This unidrectional deglitch prevents FAULT oscillation during an
over-temperature event.
Under-voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables the power switch until the input voltage reaches the UVLO turn-on threshold.
Built-in hysteresis prevents unwanted on/off cycling due to input voltage droop during turn on.
Enable (EN OR /EN)
The logic enables control the power switches and device supply current. The supply current is reduced to less than 2-μA when a
logic high is present on /EN or when a logic low is present on EN. A logic low input on /EN or a logic high input on EN enables
the driver, control circuits, and power switches. The enable inputs are compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic levels.
Thermal Sense
The PI5PD2556/2557 self protects by using two independent thermal sensing circuits that monitor the operating temperature of the
power switch and disable operation if the temperature exceeds recommended operating conditions. The PI5PD2556/2557 operates
in constant-current mode during an over-current condition, which increases the voltage drop across the power switch. The power
dissipation in the package is proportional to the voltage drop across the power switch, which increases the junction temperature
during an over-current condition. The first thermal sensor (OTSD) turns off the power switch when the die temperature exceeds
135°C (min) and the chip is in current limit. Hysteresis is built into the thermal sensor, and the switch turns on after the device has
cooled approximately 20°C.
The PI5PD2556/2557 also has a second ambient thermal sensor (OTSD2). The ambient thermal sensor turns off power switch
when the die temperature exceeds 155°C (min) regardless of whether the power switch are in current limit and will turn on the
power switches after the device has cooled approximately 20°C. The PI5PD2556/2557 continues to cycle off and on until the fault
is removed.

Application Information
Input and Output Capacitance
Input and output capacitance improves the performance of the device; the actual capacitance should be optimized for the particular
application. For all applications, a 0.1uF or greater ceramic bypass capacitor between IN and GND is recommended as close to the
device as possible for local noise decoupling. This precaution reduces ringing on the input due to power-supply transients.
Additional input capacitance may be needed on the input to reduce voltage overshoot from exceeding the absolute-maximum
voltage of the device during heavy transient conditions or output shorting. This is especially important during bench testing when
long inductive cables are used to connect the evaluation board to the bench power supply. Normally suggested the distance
between IC and DC supply source is less than 15cm.
Output capacitance also need to be close to IC as possible. When large transient currents are expected on the output , placing a
high-value electrolytic capacitor on the output pin is recommended.
Programming the Current-Limit Threshold
The overcurrent threshold is user programmable via an external resistor. The PI5PD2556/57 uses an internal regulation loop to
provide a regulated voltage on the ILIM pin. The current-limit threshold is proportional to the current sourced out of ILIM. The
recommended 1% resistor range for RILIM is 20 kΩ ≤ RILIM ≤ 187 kΩ to ensure stability of the internal regulation loop.
Many applications require that the minimum current limit is above a certain current level or that the maximum current limit is
below a certain current level, so it is important to consider the tolerance of the overcurrent threshold when selecting a value for
RILIM. The following equations approximate the resulting overcurrent threshold for a given external resistor value ®ILIM).
Consult the Electrical Characteristics table for specific current limit settings. The traces routing the RILIM resistor to the
PI5PD2556/57 should be as short as possible to reduce parasitic effects on the current-limit accuracy.

Application 1: Designing above a Minimum Current Limit
Some applications require that current limiting cannot occur below a certain threshold. For this example, assume
that 3 A must be delivered to the load so that the minimum desired current-limit threshold is 3000 mA. Use the
IOS equations and Figure 7 to select RILIM.
Select the closest 1% resistor less than the calculated value: RILIM = 33.2 kΩ. This sets the minimum current-limit
threshold at 3000 mA . Use the IOS equations, Figure 7, and the previously calculated value for RILIM to
calculate the maximum resulting current-limit threshold.
The resulting maximum current-limit threshold is 3592 mA with a 33.2 kΩ resistor.
Application 2: Designing Below a Maximum Current Limit
Some applications require that current limiting must occur below a certain threshold. For this example, assume
that the desired upper current-limit threshold must be below 5000 mA to protect an up-stream power supply. Use
the IOS equations and Figure 7 to select RILIM.
Select the closest 1% resistor greater than the calculated value: RILIM = 23.7kΩ. This sets the maximum
current-limit threshold at 5000 mA . Use the IOS equations, Figure 7, and the previously calculated value for
RILIM to calculate the minimum resulting current-limit threshold.
The resulting minimum current-limit threshold is 4316 mA with a 23.7 kΩ resistor
Accounting For resistor Tolerance
The previous sections described the selection of RILIM given certain application requirements and the importance of
understanding the current-limit threshold tolerance. The analysis focused only on the PI5PD2556/57 performance and assumed an
exact resistor value. However, resistors sold in quantity are not exact and are bounded by an upper and lower tolerance centered
around a nominal resistance. The additional RILIM resistance tolerance directly affects the current-limit threshold accuracy at a
system level. The following table shows a process that accounts for worst-case resistor tolerance assuming 1% resistor values.
Step one follows the selection process outlined in the application examples above. Step two determines the upper and lower
resistance bounds of the selected resistor. Step three uses the upper and lower resistor bounds in the IOS equations to calculate the
threshold limits. It is important to use tighter tolerance resistors, e.g. 0.5% or 0.1%, when precision current limiting is desired.
