Description
The STEF05D is an integrated electronic fuse
optimized for monitoring output current and input
voltage. Connected in series to a 5 V rail, it is
capable of protecting the electronic circuitry on its
output from overcurrent and overvoltage. The
device has a controlled delay and turn-on time.
When an overload condition occurs, the
STEF05D limits the output current to a predefined
safe value. If the anomalous overload condition.
persists, it goes into an open state, disconnecting
the load from the power supply. If a continuous
short-circuit is present on the board, when power
is re-applied the E-fuse initially limits the output
current to a safe value, and then again goes into
an open state.

Features
Continuous current typ: 3.6 A
N-channel on-resistance typ: 40 m
Enable/fault functions
Output clamp voltage typ: 6.65 V
The device is equipped with a thermal protection
circuit. The intervention of the thermal protection
is signal led to the board monitoring circuits
through a signal on the Fault pin.
Undervoltage lockout
Short-circuit limit
Overload current limit
Controlled output voltage ramp
Thermal latch typ: 165 °C
Uses tiny capacitors
Operating junction temp. - 40 °C to 125 °C
Available in DFN10 (3 x 3 mm).
Applications
Unlike mechanical fuses, which must be
physically replaced after a single event, the Efuse does not degrade in its performance after
short-circuit/thermal protection interventions and
it is reset either by recycling the supply voltage or
using the Enable pin.
The companion chip for 12 V power rails is also
available with part number STEF12.

I-Limit
A resistor between this pin and the Source pin sets the overload and shortcircuit current limit levels.
En/Fault
The enable/fault pin is a tri-state, bi-directional interface. During normal
operation the pin must be left floating, or it can be used to disable the output
of the device by pulling it to Ground using an open drain or open collector
device.
If a thermal fault occurs, the voltage on this pin will go to an intermediate
state to signal a monitor circuit that the device is in thermal shutdown. It can
be connected to another device of this family to cause a simultaneous
shutdown during thermal events.
9
dv/dt
The internal dv/dt circuit controls the slew rate of the output voltage at turnon. The internal capacitor allows a ramp-up time of around 1ms. An external
capacitor can be added to this pin to increase the ramp time. If an additional
capacitor is not required, this pin should be left open.

Operating modes
5.1.1
Turn-on
When the input voltage is applied, the Enable/Fault pin goes up to the high state, enabling
the internal control circuitry.
After an initial delay time of typically 200 µs, the output voltage is supplied with a slope
defined by the internal dv/dt circuitry. If no additional capacitor is connected to dv/dt pin, the
total time from the Enable signal going high and the output voltage reaching the nominal
value is around 1 ms (refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7).
8/19
DocID024394 Rev 2
STEF05D
5.1.2
Typical application
Normal operating condition
The STEF05D E-fuse behaves like a mechanical fuse, buffering the circuitry on its output
with the same voltage shown at its input, with a small voltage fall due to the N-channel
MOSFET RDSOn.
5.1.3
Output voltage clamp
This internal protection circuit clamps the output voltage to a maximum safe value, typically
6.65V, if the input voltage exceeds this threshold.
5.1.4
Current limiting
When an overload event occurs, the current limiting circuit reduces the conductivity of the
power MOSFET, in order to clamp the output current at the value selected externally by
means of the limiting resistor RLimit (Figure 3).
5.1.5
Thermal shutdown
If the device temperature exceeds the thermal latch threshold, typically 165°C, the thermal
shutdown circuitry turns the power MOSFET off, thus disconnecting the load. The EN/Fault
pin of the device will automatically be set at an intermediate voltage, in order to signal the
overtemperature event.
From this condition the E-fuse can be reset either by cycling the supply voltage or by pulling
down the EN pin below the Vil threshold, and then releasing it.
5.2
RLimit calculation
As shown in Figure 3, the device uses an internal N-channel sense FET with a fixed ratio, to
monitor the output current and limit it at the level set by the user.
The RLimit value for achieving the requested current limitation can be estimated by using the
following theoretical formula, together with the graph in Figure 13:
Equation 1
42
R Limit = ---------------Ishort
5.3
Cdv/dt calculation
Connecting a capacitor between the Cdv/dt pin and GND will allow the modification of the
output voltage ramp time.
Given the desired time interval t during which the output voltage goes from zero to his
maximum value, the capacitance to be added on Cdv/dt pin can be calculated using the
following theoretical formula:

Enable/fault pin
The Enable/Fault pin has the dual function of controlling the output of the device and, at the
same time, of providing information about the device status to the application.
When it is used, it should be connected to an external open-drain or open-collector device.
In this case, when it is pulled at low logic level, it turns the output of the E-Fuse off.
If this pin is left floating, since it has internal pull-up circuitry, the output of the E-Fuse is kept
ON in normal operating conditions.
In case of thermal fault, the pin is pulled to an intermediate state (Figure 6). This signal can
be provided to a monitor circuit, informing it that a thermal shutdown has occurred, or it can
be directly connected to the Enable/Fault pins of other STEFxx devices on the same
application in order to achieve a simultaneous enable/disable feature.
When a thermal fault occurs, the device can be reset either by cycling the supply voltage or
by pulling down the Enable pin below the Vil threshold and then releasing it.
