Auto-Restarting Current Limiting Load Switch with LDO Regulator
General Description
Features
The AAT4702 SmartSwitch™ is a member of Skyworks'
Application Specific Power MOSFET™ (ASPM™) product
family. This device integrates a high side P-channel
MOSFET current limiting load switch with a nanopower
low dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator, making the
AAT4702 ideal for use in load current protected applications that also require a system power supply. The load
switch operates with input voltages ranging from 2.4V to
5.5V, making it ideal for 2.5V, 3V, and 5V systems. A
fault flag is provided to alert the system to an overcurrent event. The fault flag has a 5ms blanking time to
prevent from reporting false events such as inrush currents during system startup.

Functional Description
The AAT4702 is an auto-restarting current limiting load
switch with an integrated low dropout linear voltage
regulator. The combined function of this device serves to
protect system loads or peripheral circuits from overcurrent conditions while simultaneously supplying an
independent regulated voltage for the system.
Current Limiting Load Switch
The AAT4702 load switch provides an auto-restarting,
reverse current blocking, programmable current limiting
and shutdown function. If an applied load exceeds the
programmed current limit level, the load switch pass element will be turned off to isolate the input source from
10
the output and discharge the applied load to ground via
an internal NMOS switch and a typical 100Ω resistor. The
default current limit (ILIM) set point is 150mA with a
50mA tolerance when the SET pin is left open (no external resistor connected). The device may be user programmed to a higher current limit level up to 1A via an
external resistor placed between the SET pin and
ground.
When under an output over-current shutdown event, the
AAT4702 has an auto-restart output polling function that
will wake up and re-enable the device every 40ms to
check for the continued existence of an over-current
condition. If the over-current fault condition remains,
the AAT4702 will remain in the shutdown state with both
the load switch and LDO regulator output pulled low to

DATA SHEET
AAT4702
Auto-Restarting Current Limiting Load Switch with LDO Regulator
ground. When the over-current condition is removed, the
AAT4702 will automatically resume normal operation.
The internal load switch controller provides a fault flag
function to alert a system controller to any over current
or temperature event. The fault flag output consists of
an open drain NMOS switch that should be pulled to a
logic high level externally through a 10k or greater
value resistor. The fault flag has a 5ms blanking time
feature to guard against reporting false fault conditions,
such events could happen during normal circuit start-up.
If the fault flag function is not required, the FLT pin may
be left unconnected.
When operating within the limits set by the default or
user programmed current limit level, the device overtemperature protection will monitor the internal die temperature. If the internal die temperature exceeds 140°C,
the thermal protection circuit will shut down the load
switch to protect the loaded device and the system supply source.
The AAT4702 load switch and LDO regulator are enabled
and disabled through common enable signal at the ON
(ON) pin. The AAT4702 provides options for both active
low (default) and/or active high operation; refer to the
Ordering Information table to select the desired enable
polarity. If the device is operated in an always-on state,
the enable function may be terminated to GND or IN
respective to which active low or high option is selected.
The AAT4702 load switch has an under-voltage lockout
(UVLO) function, which senses the voltage of the IN pin.
Once VIN > VUVLO rising edge (typical 1.8V), the AAT4702
will start to operate. For the LDO regulator input IN_REG
pin, there is no UVLO.
Low Dropout Linear Regulator
The AAT4702 LDO linear regulator section has an independent input pin allowing the regulator to be powered
by the load switch output or directly from an input supply. When the enable pin switches to an active state, the
LDO regulator output will typically start up and stabilize
regulation within 1ms after the load switch.
The LDO regulator output is designed and tested to
maintain voltage regulation accuracy within a 2% toler-
ance. Voltage regulation accuracy is maintained for input
voltage ranges from 5.5V down to a minimum input level
(VIN_MIN) which is defined by the factory trimmed output
voltage level (VOUT) plus the specified regulator dropout
voltage level (VDO), by following the formula:
VIN_MIN = VOUT + VDO
Where:
VIN_MIN = Minimum input voltage applied to the IN_REG
pin to maintain regulation
VOUT = Factory set LDO regulator output as measured at
the VREG pin
VDO = Specified LDO regulator dropout voltage
Should the LDO regulator input supply fall below the
required VIN_MIN level, the output is designed to track the
input supply minus a nominal voltage drop across the
regulator’s high-side P-channel MOSFET caused by the
device's on resistance. The regulator is designed to
maintain a stable linear output level of 1.8V for an input
supply level down to 2.4V at the specified load current
level of 100mA.
During LDO regulator shutdown, the VREG output is
internally connected to ground via a series resistor and
a low-side NMOS switch which have a combined impedance of 100. The LDO regulator has over-temperature
and short-circuit protection independent to the load
switch for comprehensive device protection.
Since the system enable is common to both the LDO
regulator and load switch, the LDO regulator will shut
down in the event of a fault occurring on the load switch
output. For the case of LDO regulator shut down via a
load switch fault, the LDO regulator automatically
restarts along with the load switch auto-restart system
with a 1ms delay. When the LDO regulator is shut down
by either the enable function or a fault on the load switch
output, the regulator output load will be discharged
through the internal active output pull-down circuit.
The AAT4702 LDO regulator has high power supply ripple
rejection (PSRR) in addition to fast load and line transient response characteristics. The LDO regulator output
has been specifically optimized to function with low cost,
low-ESR ceramic capacitors.

AAT4702
Auto-Restarting Current Limiting Load Switch with LDO Regulator
Application Information
Setting the Load Switch Current Limit
With no external resistor at the SET pin, the default current limit is 150mA typically set by the internal 50kΩ
resister. The current limit function is triggered when the
load current reaches 150mA, the load switch and LDO
output voltages are shut down; the AAT4702 would
restart to check if the over-current condition is removed
every 40ms. As illustrated in the “Current Limit ILIM vs.
Output Voltage” curve, the current limit level is kept
lower when the output voltage drops; this is helpful to
minimize the power dissipation at the load switch to provide safer operation at over-current or output short-circuit condition.
If a higher current limit is desired, an external resistor
could be placed at the SET pin. To determine RSET, multiply the maximum current drawn by the load by 1.33
(typical ILIM = minimum ILIM/0.75); this is the typical current limit value. Next, refer to the “RSET vs. ILIM” curve
and find the RSET that corresponds to the typical current
limit value. The maximum current is derived by multiplying the typical current for the chosen RSET in the chart by
1.25. Some resistor values are listed in Table 1.

Example: A USB port requires 500mA. 500mA multiplied
by 1.33 is 665mA. From the “RSET vs. ILIM” curve, RSET
should be less than 16.5kΩ. 14.9kΩ is a standard value
that is a little less than 16.5kΩ but very close. The chart
reads approximately 700mA as a typical ILIM value for
14.9kΩ. Multiplying 700mA by 0.75 and 1.25 shows that
the AAT4702 load switch will limit the load current to
greater than 525mA but less than 875mA.
Load Switch Operation in Current
Limit and Thermal Protection
When a heavy load is applied to the output of the
AAT4702 load switch output, the current limit circuit is
triggered when the load current reaches the value of ILIM
determined by RSET. See Figure 1 for over-current operation and fault recovery. Since the load demands more
current than ILIM, the voltage at the output drops. When
the output voltage drops, the load current is folded back
to a lower level. When the overload condition continues
for a period longer than the over-current blanking time
tBLANK, the output will be turned off and discharged
through the internal N-channel MOSFET and resistor.
After TAUTO timeout 40ms, the AAT4702 turns on the load
switch output to check if the overload condition is
removed. If the overload still exists, the output turns off
again after tBLANK timeout. The AAT4702 load switch and
LDO will continue to cycle on and off until the overload
condition is removed. When the die temperature exceeds
the over-temperature limit, the AAT4702 will shutdown
until it has cooled sufficiently, at which point it will start
up again.
Enable Input
The AAT4702 features a load switch and LDO common
enable / disable function. This ON (ON) pin is compatible
with CMOS logic. Active high or active low options are
available (see Ordering Information).
In many systems, power planes are controlled by integrated circuits which run at lower voltages than the
power plane itself. The enable input ON (ON) of the
AAT4702 has low and high threshold voltages that
accommodate this condition, which could be found in
“VEN(H) and VEN(L) vs. Input Voltage” curve. The threshold
voltages are compatible with 5V TTL and 2.4V to 5V
CMOS. When enable is active, the load switch starts up,
and the LDO starts up after 1ms. When it is disabled, the
device shuts down and the LDO output capacitor is discharged through the internal N-channel MOSFET and
100Ω resistor; the load switch is also reverse blocked.
