Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated

Integrated Load Switch with Adjustable High Precision Current Limit
Features
General Description
1.8 to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
Typical RDS(ON) = 140m
Typical RDS(ON) = 160m
The FPF2223-FPF2225 are low RDS(ON) P-Channel MOSFET
load switches with high precision current limit value. The input
voltage range operates from 1.8V to 5.5V to fulfill today's Ultra
Portable Device's supply requirement. Switch control is by a
logic input (ON) capable of interfacing directly with low voltage
control signal. On-chip pull-down is available for output quick
discharge when switch is turned off.

For the FPF2224, if the constant current condition still persists
after 30ms, these parts will shut off the switch and pull the fault
signal pin (FLAGB) low. The FPF2223 has an auto-restart
feature, which will turn the switch on again after 450mS if the
ON pin is still active. The FPF2224 do not have this auto-restart
feature so the switch will remain off until the ON pin is cycled.
For the FPF2225, a current limit condition will immediately pull
the fault signal pin low and the part will remain in the constantcurrent mode until the switch current falls below the current
limit. For the FPF2223 through FPF2225, the current limit is set
by an external resistor and the minimum current limit is 250mA.

FPF2223-FPF2225 Integrated Load Switch with Adjustable High Precision Current Limit
Typical Characteristics
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The FPF2223, FPF2224, and FPF2225 are state of the art
Adjustable High Precision Current Limit switches that protect
systems and loads which can be damaged or disrupted by the
application of high currents. The core of each device is a 0.16
P-channel MOSFET and a controller capable of functioning over
an input operating range of 1.8- 5.5V. The controller protects or
offers current limiting, UVLO(undervoltage lockout) and thermal
shutdown protection. The current limit is adjustable from 250mA
to 625mA through the selection of an external resistor.
The undervoltage lockout turns-off the switch if the input voltage
drops below the undervoltage lockout threshold. With the ON
pin active the input voltage rising above the undervoltage
lockout threshold will cause a controlled turn-on of the switch
which limits current over-shoots.
Output Discharge Resistor
The FPF2223/4/5 family contains an 80 on-chip load resistor
for quick output discharge when the switch is turned off. This
features become more attractive when application requires
large output capacitor to be discharge when the switch tunrs off.
However, VOUT pin should not be connected directly to the
battery source due to the discharge mechanism of the load
switch.
On/Off Control
The ON pin is active high, and controls the state of the switch.
Applying a continuous high signal will hold the switch in the on
state. The switch will move into the OFF state when the active
high is removed, or if a fault is encountered. For all versions, an
undervoltage on VIN or a junction temperature in excess of
140°C overrides the ON control to turn off the switch.
In addition, excessive currents will cause the switch to turn off in
the FPF2223 and FPF2224. The FPF2223 has an Auto-Restart
feature which will automatically turn the switch on again after
450ms. For the FPF2224, the ON pin must be toggled to turn-on
the switch again. The FPF2225 does not turn off in response to
an over current condition but instead remains operating in a
constant current mode so long as ON is active and the thermal
shutdown or UVLO have not activated.
Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown protects the die from internally or
externally generated excessive temperatures. During an overtemperature condition the FLAGB is activated and the switch is
turned-off. The switch automatically turns-on again if
temperature of the die drops below the threshold temperature.
Fault Reporting
Upon the detection of an over-current condition, an input UVLO,
or an over-temperature condition, the FLAGB signals the fault
mode by activating LO. In the event of an over-current condition
for the FPF2223 and FPF2224, the FLAGB goes LO at the end
of the blanking time while FLAGB goes LO immediately for the
FPF2225. If the over-current condition lasts longer than
blanking time, FLAGB remains LO through the Auto-Restart
Time for the FPF2223 while for the FPF2224, FLAGB is latched
LO and ON must be toggled to release it. With the FPF2225,
FLAGB is LO during the faults and immediately returns HI at the
end of the fault condition. FLAGB is an open-drain MOSFET
which requires a pull-up resistor between VIN and FLAGB.
During shutdown, the pull-down on FLAGB is disabled to reduce
current draw from the supply. A 100K pull up resistor is
recommended to be used in the application.
Current Limiting
The current limit ensures that the current through the switch
doesn't exceed a maximum value while not limiting at less than
a minimum value. The current at which the parts will limit is
adjustable through the selection of an external resistor
connected to the ISET pin. The FPF2223 and FPF2224 have a
blanking time of 30ms (nominal) during which the switch will act
as a constant current source. At the end of the blanking time,
the switch will be turned-off. The FPF2225 has no current limit
blanking period so it will remain in a constant current state until
the ON pin is deactivated or the thermal shutdown turns-off the
switch.

Description of Operation
Setting Current Limit

The FPF2223, FPF2224, and FPF2225 have adjustable high
precision current limit which is set with an external resistor
connected between ISET and GND. Please see the layout
recommendation section of the application note for the
recommended RSET layout. The RSET resistance is selected by
using the following equation:

ILIM (Min) (mA)
Input Capacitor
To limit the voltage drop on the input supply caused by transient
in-rush currents when the switch is turned on into a discharged
load capacitor or a short-circuit, a capacitor is recommended to
be placed between VIN and GND. A 1uF ceramic capacitor, CIN,
placed close to the pins is usually sufficient. Higher values of
CIN can be used to further reduce the voltage drop.
FPF222X family has 5% precision at higher load current. The
ILIM (Max) and tolerance of current limit value can be determined
using Figure 23 (ILIM vs RSET ) and the following formula:
ILIM (Typ) - ILIM (Min)

A 0.1uF capacitor COUT, should be placed between VOUT and
GND. This capacitor will prevent parasitic board inductances
from forcing VOUT below GND when the switch turns-off. For the
FPF2223 and FPF2224, the total output capacitance needs to
be kept below a maximum value, COUT(max), to prevent the
part from registering an over-current condition and turning-off
the switch. The maximum output capacitance can be
determined from the following formula:
ILIM (Typ) * Tolerance (%)

During normal on-state operation, the power dissipated in the
device will depend upon the level at which the current limit is
set. The maximum allowed setting for the current limit is 625mA
and will result in a power dissipation of:

If the part goes into current limit, maximum power dissipation
will occur when the output is shorted to ground. For the
FPF2223, the power dissipation will be scaled by the AutoRestart Time, tRSTRT, and the Over Current Blanking Time,
tBLANK. Therefore, the maximum power dissipated is:

FPF2223-FPF2225 Integrated Load Switch with Adjustable High Precision Current Limit
Application Information
The following techniques have been identified to improve the
thermal performance of this family of devices.
These
techniques are listed in order of the significance of their impact.
1. Thermal performance of the load switch can be improved by
connecting pin7 of the DAP (Die Attach Pad) to the GND plane
of the PCB.
2. Embedding two exposed through-hole vias into the DAP
(pin7) provides a path for heat to transfer to the back GND
plane of the PCB. A drill size of Round, 14 mils (0.35mm) with
1-ounce copper plating is recommended to result in appropriate
solder reflow. A smaller size hole prevents the solder from
penetrating into the via, resulting in device lift-up. Similarly, a
larger via-hole consumes excessive solder, and may result in
voiding of the DAP.
P (Max) = VIN (MAX) * ILIM (MAX) = 5.5 * 0.693 = 3.8W
This large amount of power will activate the thermal shutdown
and the part will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown so long as
the ON pin is active and the short is present.
PCB Layout Recommendations
In order to benefit from adjustable, high-precision load switch
devices, a high-precision RSET value must be used to set a tight
current limit tolerance. Since ILIMIT (current limit value) is
determined by the voltage drop across the RSET, a poor PCB
layout can introduce parasitic noise on the ISET pin resulting in a
minor variation of ILIMIT. To improve the ILIMIT stability, parasitic
noise coupling mechanisms from ISET to GND must be
minimized. This becomes more critical when ILIMIT is set close
to the nominal load current operation where parasitic effects
could cause the device to go in and out of current limit and
result in an error flag report.
Care must be taken to provide a direct current return path
between the RSET ground pad and the device ground pad
(pin5). Please see current pad #2 in figure below.

2)RSET current path

separate ground route, unique from the power ground plane

3. The VIN, VOUT and GND pins will dissipate most of the heat
generated during a high load current condition. Using wide
traces will help minimize parasitic electrical effects along with
minimizing the case to ambient thermal impedance. The layout
suggested in Figure 27 provides each pin with adequate copper
so that heat may be transferred as efficiently as possible out of
the device. The low-power FLAGB and ON pin traces may be
laid-out diagonally from the device to maximize the area
available to the ground pad. Placing the input and output
capacitors as close to the device as possible also contributes to
heat dissipation, particularly during high load currents.
Improving Thermal Performance
An improper layout could result in higher junction temperature
and triggering the thermal shutdown protection feature. This
concern applies when the switch is set at higher current limit
value and an over-current condition occurs. In this case, the
power dissipation of the switch, from the formula below, could
exceed the maximum absolute power dissipation of 1.2W.
PD = (VIN - VOUT) x ILIM (Max)

Take note that this is below the maximum package power
dissipation, and the thermal shutdown feature will act as
additional safety to protect the part from damage due to
excessive heating. The junction temperature is only able to
increase to the thermal shutdown threshold. Once this
temperature has been reached, toggling ON will not turn-on the
switch until the junction temperature drops. For the FPF2225, a
short on the output will cause the part to operate in a constant
current state dissipating a worst case power of:

FPF22XX Demo board has components and circuitry to
demonstrate FPF2223/4/5 load switches functions and features.
R4 resistor with 0 value is used for measuring the output
current. Load current can be scoped by removing the R4
resistor and soldering a current loop to the R4 footprint. Thermal
performance of the board is improved using a few techniques
recommended in the layout recommendations section of
