1.0A SINGLE CHANNEL CURRENT-LIMITED LOAD SWITCH

Application Note

Protection Features:

Under-voltage Lockout (UVLO)

Whenever the input voltage falls below UVLO threshold (~2.5V), the power switch is turned off. This facilitates the design of
hot-insertion systems where it is not possible to turn off the power switch before input power is removed.

Over-current and Short Circuit Protection

An internal sensing FET is employed to check for over-current conditions. Unlike current-sense resistors, sense FETs do not
increase the series resistance of the current path. When an overcurrent condition is detected, the device maintains a constant
NEW PRODUCT

output current and reduces the output voltage accordingly. Complete shutdown occurs only if the fault stays long enough to
activate thermal limiting.

The different overload conditions and the corresponding response of the AP2337 are outlined below:

NO Conditions Explanation Behavior of the AP2337

Output is shorted before
The IC senses the short circuit and immediately

• At the instance the overload occurs, higher
current may flow for a very short period of
Short-Circuit or Overload time before the current limit function can
Short-circuit or condition that occurs when react.

Overcurrent condition the part is powered up and • After the current limit function has tripped
above UVLO. (reached the over-current trip threshold), the
device switches into current limiting mode
and the current is clamped at Ishort /ILIMIT.
Gradual increase from Load increases gradually The current rises until ILIMIT. Once the threshold
3 nominal operating current until the current-limit has been reached, the device switches into its
to ILIMIT threshold. current limiting mode and is clamped at ILIMIT.

Reverse Current Protection

The USB specification does not allow an output device to source current back into the USB port. In a normal MOSFET
switch, current will flow in reverse direction (from the output side to the input side) when the output side voltage is higher than
the input side. A reverse current limit feature is implemented in the AP2337 to limit such back currents. This circuit is
activated by the difference between the output voltage and the input voltage (100mV TYP). After the reverse current circuit
has tripped (reached the reverse current trip threshold), the current rises until IROCP level. When the fault exists for more than
600us, output device is disabled and shutdown. This is called the "Deglitch time from reverse current trigger to MOSFET turn
off”. Recovery from IROCP occurs when the output voltage falls to 101% of input voltage.

Over-Voltage Protection
The device has an output over-voltage protection that triggers when the output voltage reaches 114% (TYP) of input
voltage. When this fault condition stays on for longer than 15us (This is called the “Debounce time from output over-voltage to
MOSFET turn off” ) output device is disabled and shutdown. Recovery from ROVP occurs when the output voltage falls to
101% of input voltage.

Application Note (cont.)

Thermal Protection
Thermal protection prevents the IC from damage when the die temperature exceeds safe margins. This mainly occurs when
heavy-overload or short-circuit faults are present for extended periods of time. The AP2337 implements a thermal sensing to
monitor the operating junction temperature of the power distribution switch. Once the die temperature rises to approximately
150°C, the Thermal protection feature gets activated as follows: The internal thermal sense circuitry turns the power switch
off thus preventing the power switch from damage. Hysteresis in the thermal sense circuit allows the device to cool down to
approximately 20°C before the output is turned back on. This built-in thermal hysteresis feature is an excellent feature, as it
avoids undesirable oscillations of the thermal protection circuit. The switch continues to cycle in this manner until the load
NEW PRODUCT

fault is removed, resulting in a pulsed output.

Discharge Function
When input voltage is pulled, the discharge function is active. The output capacitor is discharged through an internal NMOS
that has a discharge resistance of 100Ω. Hence, the output voltage drops down to zero. The time taken for discharge is
dependent on the RC time constant of the resistance and the output capacitor. Discharge time is calculated when UVLO
falling threshold is reached to output voltage reaching 300mV.

Power Dissipation and Junction Temperature

The low on-resistance of the internal MOSFET allows the small surface-mount packages to pass large current. Using the
maximum operating ambient temperature (TA) and RDS(ON), the power dissipation can be calculated by:

2
PD = RDS(ON) × I

Finally, calculate the junction temperature:

TJ = PD x RθJA + TA

Where:
TA= Ambient temperature °C
RθJA = Thermal resistance
PD = Total power dissipation
