When the switch current reaches the maximum limit,
the TPS22946 operates in a constant-current mode to
prohibit excessive currents from causing damage.
The current limit can be selected using the CL input:
a high CL input sets the current limit to 155 mA, a low
CL input sets the current limit to 70 mA, and a
floating CL input sets the current limit to 30 mA.
If the constant current condition persists after 10 ms,
the switch is turned off and the fault signal pin (OC) is
pulled low. The TPS22946 has an auto-restart feature
which turns the switch on again after 70 ms if the ON
pin is still active. If the TPS22946 remains in an overcurrent condition for 5 seconds, the device shuts off
until it is turned on again by setting the ON control
signal off and then on.
If the device is used to protect an LDO, the inrush
current required by the LDO at startup can, in some
cases, exceed the current limit and initiate a blanking
(current limiting) condition. The TPS22946 provides
allowance for this scenario during startup of the LDO
by temporarily increasing the current limit to 435 mA
for 8 ms after the load switch is enabled.
The TPS22946 is available in space-saving 6-pin
DSBGA (YZP) package. The device is characterized
for operation over the free-air temperature range of
–40°C to 85°C.

3 Description
The TPS22946 is an ultralow power load switch that
provides protection to systems and loads in highcurrent conditions. The device contains a 300-mΩ
current-limited P-channel MOSFET that can operate
over an input voltage range of 1.62 V to 5.5 V. The
switch is controlled by an on/off input (ON), which can
interface directly with low-voltage control signals. The
TPS22946 includes thermal shutdown protection that
prevents damage to the device when a continuous
over-current condition causes excessive heating by
turning off the switch.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS22946 is an ultralow power load switch that provides protection to systems and loads in high-current
conditions. The device contains a 300-mΩ current-limited P-channel MOSFET that can operate over an input
voltage range of 1.62 V to 5.5 V. The switch is controlled by an on/off input (ON), which is capable of
interfacing directly with low-voltage control signals. The TPS22946 includes thermal shutdown protection that
prevents damage to the device when a continuous over-current condition causes excessive heating by
turning off the switch.
When the switch current reaches the maximum limit, the TPS22946 operates in a constant-current mode to
prohibit excessive currents from causing damage. The current limit can be selected using the CL input: a
high CL input sets the current limit to 155 mA, a low CL input sets the current limit to 70 mA, and a floating
CL input sets the current limit to 30 mA.
If the constant current condition still persists after 10 ms, the switch is turned off and the fault signal pin (OC)
is pulled low. The TPS22946 has an auto-restart feature which turns the switch on again after 70 ms if the
ON pin is still active. If the TPS22946 remains in an over-current condition for 5 seconds, the device shuts
off until it is turned on again by setting the ON control signal off and then on.
If the device is used to protect an LDO, the inrush current required by the LDO at startup can, in some
cases, exceed the current limit and initiate a blanking (current limiting) condition. The TPS22946 device
provides allowance for this scenario during startup of the LDO by temporarily increasing the current limit to

8.3.1 Detection Schemes
8.3.1.1 Overtemperature Detection
The thermal shutdown detection circuit is active every 8 ms for a period of 0.5 ms. The thermal shutdown
protects the part from internally or externally generated excessive temperatures. During an over-temperature
condition the switch is turned-off (Open). The switch automatically turns-on (closes) again if temperature of the
die drops below the threshold temperature while the part is still enabled.
In addition, if an overcurrent fault condition is detected due to a moderate overcurrent or a hard-short, the
thermal shutdown is activated immediately and stays on continuously for the duration of blanking (see Figure 32).

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.1.4 Current Limiting Mode
When an overcurrent condition (moderate or a hard short) is detected, the TPS22946 operates in a constantcurrent mode to prohibit excessive currents from causing damage. TPS22946 has a current limit of 30 mA, 70
mA, or 155 mA.
If the constant current condition still persists after 10ms, the device shuts off the switch and pulls the fault signal
pin (OC) low. The TPS22946 has an auto-restart feature which turns the switch on again after 70 ms if the ON
pin is still active.
8.3.1.5 Fault Reporting
When a moderate overcurrent, hard short or overtemperature condition is detected, OC is set active low to signal
a fault condition. OC is an open-drain MOSFET and requires a pullup resistor between VIN and OC. During
shutdown, the pulldown on OC is disabled, reducing current draw from the supply.
8.3.1.6 Power-On and Power-Off Sequence
The device is enabled internally only once the hard-short detection circuit is enabled.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.1.7 Automatic Disable in Case of Permanent Overcurrent
When the switch enters the current-limiting mode due to a hard short condition or a moderate over-current
condition, TPS22946 goes through the 10-ms blanking state and the 70-ms auto restart state. If the hard-short
condition or the moderate over-current condition persists after 5 s, the part shuts off regardless of the ON signal.
The switch is turned on again after a power reset if the ON pin is HIGH.
8.3.2 Inrush Current Time-out Feature
The inrush current required by the LDO at startup can in some cases exceed the current limit and initiate a
blanking (current limiting) condition. TPS22946 provides allowance for this scenario by temporarily increasing the
current limit to 435 mA for 8 ms after the load switch is enabled. This time-out is initiated by the positive edge
transition on the ON signal.

8.3.3 CL Control Pin
The TPS22946 supports three current limits: 30 mA, 70 mA, and 155 mA. The current limit selection is
determined by the status of the digital input CL pin, as shown in Table 2. A high impedance, or floating, condition
allows the CL pin to support a third state. The TPS22946 monitors the state of the CL pin during start-up from a
disabled state, and upon start-up sets the current limit accordingly. When floating the CL pin, keep the total
capacitance on the pin less than 100 pF and the resistive loading greater than 10 MΩ to ensure proper
operation. Any changes to the state of the CL pin after the start-up operation has completed are ignored until the
next start-up cycle.
The CL pin must be driven with logic levels referenced to VIN. The CL pin can be tied high or low on the printed
wiring board (PWB) or driven by a general purpose I/O (GPIO), as long as the VIL and VIH recommended
operating conditions are met.

8.3.4 Overtemperature Protection
An overtemperature condition occurs when the temperature of the part is greater than 140°C. The OC flag will go
low to indicate a fault. If the overtemperature condition persists for more than 6 seconds, the part times out and
shuts OFF. The part must be enabled by either toggling the ON pin or the VIN pin. If the temperature falls below
130°C within 5 seconds, the part will start normal operation.
If the temperature is not constantly high above 140°C and is toggling between greater than 140°C and less than
130°C, the internal time-out timer keeps resetting. If this event occurs more than 32 times, it will cause the part to
shut OFF. It can be enabled by toggling either the ON pin or the VIN pin.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
9.1.1 On/Off Control
The ON pin controls the state of the switch. Activating ON continuously holds the switch in the on state so long
as there is no fault. A junction temperature in excess of 150°C overrides the ON control to turn off the switch. ON
is active HIGH and has a low threshold making it capable of interfacing with low voltage signals. When the
MOSFET is off, the body diode is disabled so no current can flow through it from the input to the output;
however, the body diode does not prevent reverse current flowing.
9.2 Typical Application
This application demonstrates how the TPS22946 can be used to power a downstream load that includes a
capacitive element (CLOAD).

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
To
•
•
•
begin the design process, the designer must know the following:
VIN voltage
Output capacitance (CLOAD)
VOUT rise time (tR)
The TPS22946 has a 435-mA current limit during initial turnon of the switch, Ilimit_inrush. This current limit is higher
than the steady-state current limit, ILIM. The purpose of this feature is to allow the inrush current that is caused by
charging up the capacitor, CLOAD. To calculate the inrush current that is caused by the capacitor during initial
turnon, use the following equation:
dV
IINRUSH = CL ´ OUT
dt
where
•
•
•
•
IINRUSH = amount of inrush current caused by CLOAD
CL = capacitance on VOUT
dt = VOUT rise time
dVOUT = increase in VOUT during the rise time
(1)
Using the given example values, the inrush current in this typical application will be 66-mA:
66 mA = 1 µF × 3.3 V / 50 µF
(2)
The oscilloscope capture in Figure 35 shows the inrush current for the given design example.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from a VIN range of 1.62 to 5.5 V. The VIN power supply should be well
regulated and placed as close to the VIN terminal as possible. The power supply must be able to withstand all
transient load current steps. In most situations, using the minimum recommended input capacitance of 1 uF is
sufficient to prevent the supply voltage from dipping when the switch is turned on. In cases where the power
supply is slow to respond to a large transient current or large load current step, additional bulk capacitance may
be required on the input.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
The CIN capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VIN pin.
The VIN and VOUT traces should be the appropriate width to carry the load current.
The CL pin may be connected directly the GND or VIN (depending on the desired current limit). The CL pin
may also be left floating.
