General Description

The AAT4618 SmartSwitch is a member of Skyworks'

Application Specific Power MOSFET™ (ASPM™) product

family. It is a current limited P-channel MOSFET power

switch designed for high-side load switching applications

operating with inputs ranging from 2.4V to 5.5V, making

it ideal for 2.5V, 3V, and 5V systems. An integrated

current-limiting circuit protects the input supply from

large currents which may cause the supply to fall out of

regulation. In addition, the AAT4618 thermal overload

protection limits power dissipation and junction temper-

atures associated with prolonged periods of operation in

current limit. Due to its low RDS(ON), the AAT4618 can be

used to control loads that require up to factory preset

400mA, 500mA, or 1A. The ultra-fast current limit

response to a sudden short circuit is a mere 400ns which

reduces the requirements of local supply bypassing. An

open drain FAULT flag signals an over-current or over-

temperature condition after a 4ms timeout. Quiescent

current is a low 10μA and the supply current decreases

to less than 1μA in shutdown mode.

The AAT4618 is available in a Pb-free 5-pin SOT-23 or a

8-pin SC70JW package and is specified over the -40°C to

+85°C temperature range.

The AAT4600 series is a family of adjustable and fixed

voltage SmartSwitch products with a range of current

handling capabilities. Single versions with adjustable

current limit (AAT4610, AAT4601) or fixed current limit

(AAT4625) are available, as well as dual versions with

fixed current limit (AAT4626, AAT4670).

Functional Description

The AAT4618 is a single channel current limited load

switch that protects against short circuits by current limit-

ing to a preset level. A patented fast-acting current limit

loop limits the current in a fraction of a microsecond and

instantly resets to low impedance once the short-circuit

condition is removed. The AAT4618 is internally protected

from thermal damage by an over-temperature detection

circuit. If the die temperature reaches the internal ther-

mal limit, the power device is switched off until the die

temperature cools to a level below the thermal limit

threshold. The device will thermal cycle indefinitely until

the over-current condition is removed. The AAT4618

operates with input voltages ranging from 2.4V to 5.5V

which, along with its extremely low operating current,

makes it ideal for battery-powered applications. In cases

where the input voltage drops below 2.4V, the AAT4618

MOSFET is protected from entering the saturated region

of operation by being automatically shut down by an

under-voltage lockout circuit. A current limit condition is

reported by the open drain FAULT output. A 4ms blanking

interval prevents false reporting during the charging of a

capacitive load, which typically occurs during device turn-

on, but may also occur during a port hot plug-in event.

The AAT4618 is ideally suited for protection of periph-

eral ports such as USB, RS232, and parallel ports.

Applications Information

Input Capacitor

The input capacitor CIN protects the power supply from

current transients generated by the load attached to the

AAT4618. When a short circuit is suddenly applied to the

output of the AAT4618, a large current, limited only by

the RDS(ON) of the MOSFET, will flow for less than 1μs

before the current limit circuitry activates. (See charac-

teristic curve “Short Circuit Through 0.3.") In this

event, a moderately sized CIN will dramatically reduce

the voltage transient seen by the power supply and by

other circuitry upstream from the AAT4618. The extreme-

ly fast short-circuit response time of the AAT4618 reduc-

es the size requirement of CIN.

CIN should be located as close to the device VIN pin as

practically possible. Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum

electrolytic capacitors are appropriate for CIN. There is no

specific capacitor ESR requirement for CIN. However, for

higher current operation, ceramic capacitors are recom-

mended for CIN due to their inherent capability over tan-

talum capacitors to withstand input current surges from

low impedance sources such as batteries in portable

devices.

Output Capacitor

In order to insure stability while current limit is active, a

low capacitance (approximately 0.47μF) is required. No

matter how large the output capacitor, output current is

limited to the value set by the AAT4618 current limiting

circuitry, so very large output capacitors can be used.

For example, USB ports are specified to have at least

120μF of capacitance downstream from their controlling

power switch. The current limiting circuit will allow an

output capacitance of 1000μF or more without disturbing

the upstream power supply.

ON (Enable Input)

In many systems, power planes are controlled by inte-

grated circuits which run at lower voltages than the

power plane itself. The enable input (ON) of the AAT4618

has low and high threshold voltages that accommodate

this condition. The threshold voltages are compatible

with 5V TTL and 2.5V to 5V CMOS systems.

When switching the AAT4618 on into a capacitive load,

the AAT4618 will charge the output capacitive load at a

rate no greater than the current limit setting.

Attaching Loads

Capacitive loads attached to an enabled AAT4618 will

charge at a rate no greater than the current limit set-

ting.

FAULT Output

The FAULT flag is provided to alert the system if an

AAT4618 load is not receiving sufficient voltage to oper-

ate properly. If current limit or over-temperature circuits

in any combination are active for more than approxi-

mately 4ms, the FAULT flag is pulled to ground through

approximately 100. The filtering of voltage or current

transients of less than 4ms prevents capacitive loads

connected to the AAT4618 output from activating the

FAULT flag when they are initially attached. Pull-up resis-

tances of 1k to 100k are recommended. Since FAULT

is an open drain terminal, it may be pulled up to any

unrelated voltage less than the maximum operating volt-

age of 5.5V, allowing for level shifting between circuits.

Thermal Considerations

Since the AAT4618 has internal current limit and over-

temperature protection, junction temperature is rarely a

concern. However, if the application requires large cur-

rents in a hot environment, it is possible that tempera-

ture, rather than current limit, will be the dominant

regulating condition. In these applications, the maxi-

mum current available without risk of an over-tempera-

ture condition must be calculated. The maximum inter-

nal temperature while current limit is not active can be

calculated using Equation 1.

Eq. 1: TJ(MAX) = IMAX2 • RDS(ON)(MAX) • RΘJA + TA(MAX

)

In Equation 1, IMAX is the maximum current required by

the load. RDS(ON)(MAX) is the maximum rated RDS(ON) of the

AAT4618 at high temperature. RJA is the thermal resis-

tance between the AAT4618 die and the board onto

which it is mounted. TA(MAX) is the maximum temperature

that the PCB under the AAT4618 would be if the AAT4618

were not dissipating power. Equation 1 can be rear-

ranged to solve for IMAX, as shown in Equation 2.

Eq. 2: =

IMAX

TSD(MIN) - TA(MAX)

RDS(ON)(MAX) · RΘJA

TSD(MIN) is the minimum temperature required to activate

the AAT4618 over-temperature protection. With the

typical specification of 125°C, 115°C is a safe minimum

value to use.

For example, if an application is specified to operate in

50°C environments, the PCB operates at temperatures

as high as 85°C. The application is sealed and its PCB is

small, causing RJA to be approximately 150 °C/W. Using

Equation 2,

Eq. 3: =

IMAX = 950m

115 - 85

220 · 150

The AAT4618 is safe to operate at the minimum current

limit level of 500mA at 85°C.
