RT9728B
120mΩ
Ω, 1.8A Power Switch with Adjustable Current Limit
General Description
Features
The RT9728B is a cost effective, low voltage, single
P-MOSFET power switch IC for USB application with a
adjustable current limit feature. Low switch-on resistance
(typ. 120mΩ) and low supply current (typ. 120μA) are
realized in this IC. The RT9728B offers a adjustable current
limit threshold between 75mA and 1.8A (typ.) via an
external resistor. The ±10% current limit accuracy can be
realized for all current limit settings. In addition, a flag
output is available to indicate fault conditions to the local
USB controller. Furthermore, the chip also integrates an
embedded delay function to prevent mis-operation due to
high inrush current. The RT9728B is an ideal solution for
USB power supplies and can support flexible applications
since it is suitable for various current limit requirements.
It is available in the SOT-23-6 and WDFN-6L 2x2 packages.

Operation
The RT9728B is a current-limited power switch using
P-MOSFET for applications where short-circuit or heavy
capacitive loads will be encountered. These devices allow
users to adjust the current limit threshold between 75mA
and 1.8A (typ.) via an external resistor. Additional device
shutdown features include over-temperature protection and
reverse-voltage protection.

The RT9728B provides built-in soft-start function. The driver
controls the gate voltage of the power switch. The driver
incorporates circuitry that controls the rising time and
falling time of the output voltage to limit large inrush current
and voltage surges. The RT9728B enters constant-current
mode when the load exceeds the current limit threshold.

RT9728B
Applications Information
The RT9728B is a single P-MOSFET power switch with
an active-high/low enable input, optimized for self-powered
and bus-powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications.
The switch's low R DS(ON) meets USB voltage drop
requirements and a flag output is available to indicate fault
conditions to the local USB controller.
its target). For short ILIM to VIN condition (75mA) the
fault flag may go low. Once the current limit threshold is
exceeded, the device enters constant-current mode until
either thermal shutdown occurs or the fault is removed.
Figure 1 shows the curve of current limit value vs. RILIM
resistor. The recommended RILIM resistor selection is
shown in Table 1.
Current Limit and Short-Circuit Protection
Current Limit Threshold vs. RILIM
2000
Current Limit Threshold (mA)
When a heavy load or short-circuit situation occurs while
the switch is enabled, a large transient current may flow
through the device. The RT9728B includes current-limit
circuitry to prevent the MOSFET switch and the hub
downstream ports from damage due to large transient
current. The RT9728B provides an adjustable current limit
threshold between 120mA and 1.8A (typ) via an external
resistor, RILIM, whose resistance is between 15kΩ and
232kΩ. However, if the ILIM pin is connected to VIN, the
current limit threshold will be 75mA (typ). The maximum
−100mA fault flag assertion offset needs cautions,
especially for very low ILIM applications. Taking the
application of ILIM = 250mA as an example, the minimum
fault flag assertion level might be 150mA (40% error versus

RT9728B
Fault Flag
The RT9728B provides a FAULT signal pin which is an
open-drain N-MOSFET output. This open-drain output is
pulled low when current exceeds current limit threshold.
The FAULT output is capable of sinking a 1mA load to
180mV (typ.) above ground. The FAULT pin requires a
pull-up resistor; this resistor should be large in value to
reduce energy drain. A 100kΩ pull-up resistor works well
for most applications. In case of an over-current condition,
FAULT will be asserted only after the flag response delay
time, tD, has elapsed. This ensures that FAULT is asserted
upon valid over-current conditions and that erroneous error
reporting is eliminated. For example, false over-current
conditions may occur during hot-plug events when
extremely large capacitive loads are connected, which
induces a high transient inrush current that exceeds the
current limit threshold. The FAULT response delay time,
tD, is typically 7.5ms.
Supply Filter/Bypass Capacitor
A 10μF low ESR ceramic capacitor connected from VIN to
GND and located close to the device is strongly
recommended to prevent input voltage drooping during hotplug events. However, higher capacitor values may be used
to further reduce the voltage droop on the input. Without
this bypass capacitor, an output short may cause sufficient
ringing on the input (from source lead inductance) to
destroy the internal control circuitry. Note that the input
transient voltage must never exceed 6V as stated in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Output Filter Capacitor
Standard bypass methods should be used to minimize
inductance and resistance between the bypass capacitor
and the downstream connector to reduce EMI and decouple
voltage droop caused by hot-insertion transients in
downstream cables. Ferrite beads in series with VBUS,
the ground line and the bypass capacitors at the power
connector pins are recommended for EMI and ESD
protection. The bypass capacitor itself should have a low
dissipation factor to allow decoupling at higher frequencies.
For commercial applications where the ambient
temperature is 0°C to 70°C (such as a PC or USB hub),
RT9728B supports an output capacitor range of up to

November 2020
120μF. For industrial applications with an ambient
temperature of −40°C to 125°C, please limit the output
capacitance to less than 50μF to ensure normal startup.
Chip Enable Input
The RT9728BH/L is disabled when the EN/EN pin is in a
logic-low/high condition. During this condition, the internal
circuitry and MOSFET are turned off, reducing the supply
current to 1μA typically. Floating the input may cause
unpredictable operation and EN/EN should not be allowed
to go negative with respect to GND. The EN/EN signal
must be asserted after input voltage ready or higher than
UVLO threshold to satisfy the power sequence.
Under-Voltage Lockout
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) prevents the MOSFET
switch from turning on until input voltage exceeds
approximately 2.3V (typ.). If input voltage drops below
approximately 2.1V (typ.), UVLO turns off the MOSFET
switch.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
SOT-23-6 packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 250°C/
W on a standard JEDEC 51-3 single-layer thermal test
board. For WDFN-6L 2x2 packages, the thermal
resistance, θJA, is 165°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-3
single-layer thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by the following
formula :

PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (250°C/W) = 0.400W for

PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (165°C/W) = 0.606W for

Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curves in Figure 2 allow the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
