Power Management Switch IC
MB3841
DESCRIPTION
The FUJITSU MICROELECTRONICS MB3841 is a one-channel power management switch IC with extremely
low on resistance.
The MB3841 is designed for a variety of switching applications, featuring operation from low input voltages
(VIN > 2.2 V) and stable on resistance that does not depend on input voltages. The switch current limit can be
externally set over a wide range from 100 mA to 2 A. A safety function detects overcurrent conditions, immediately
sets the switch to off mode and sends an external notification signal. The MB3841 is therefore ideal for power
management switching applications with USB specifications.
In addition, the MB3841 has features that ensure accurate on-off switching by preventing reverse cur rent in off
mode, as well as rapid discharge of capacitors connected to output.
FEATURES

PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin no. Symbol Descriptions
1 CONTROL Control signal input pin. Set “H” to turn the switch on, “L” to turn the switch off.
At 0.8 V or less, the chip is in STBY state and current consumption is less
than1μA.
2SS
Slow start setting pin. Use d to ad ju st the switch on/off timing.
Add external capacitance to delay operation. Leave open when not in use.
In open mode voltages up to 10 V are present. Car e sh ou ld be taken in mounting
to prevent leak curr ent generation because high impedance is required.
3 CURRENT Current limit setting pin. The limit current level is set by connecting this pin to
external resist ance.
If this pin is connected to GND, no current limit is applied.
4V
IN Switch input pin.
The VIN voltage monitoring function enables switch operation at 1.9 V or higher.
If the VIN voltage drops to 1.8 V or lower switch operation is disabled.
5OUT
Switch output pin.
The discharge function will immediately discharge the capacitance charge
connected to the OUT pin when the switch is in off position and 350 Ω resistance
(with VCC = 5 V) is connected to the GND terminal.
6V
CC Control power supply input pin. This pin supplies power to the control circuit.
The input voltage level must be stable.
7 GND Ground pin.
8O.C
External signal pin.
When the switch is in on mode this pin no rmally outputs a “H” level signal, but
changes to “L” level when an o vercurrent, overheating, or UVLO condition is
detected.
When the switch is in off mode this signal is output at “L” level at all times.
This is an open drain out put, and should be pulled up to high potentia l usin g
resistance.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Current Limit Setting
The MB3841 provides highly accurate switching current limit setting, in the range from 100 mA to 2 A by placing
resistance between the CURRENT and GND pins.
The accuracy of ± 20% can be secured by switching current of 2 A setting.
Because the setting is dependent on the VIN voltage, it is important that the appropriate resistance be connected
to the VIN pin.
See “RLIM vs. ISW Characteristics” on p. 9 and “OUTPUT CURRENT LIMITATION SETTING ” of the table.
The following appr ox im atio n form u la ma y be use d to calcu lat e the limit se ttin g wh en VIN = 5V.
When the switch limit level is exceeded , the switch turns off and then latch is set to protect the device.
At the same time the O. C output signal goes to “L” level to notify external systems.
When a “L” level signal is applied to the CONTROL switch, the latch is released, so that the normal operation
is resumed at the next “H” level signal to the CONTROL switch.
Thermal Shutdown
The MB3841 has a thermal shutdown function which turns the switch off and sets the latch to protect the device
when junction temperature exceeds 125°C.
At the same time the O. C output signal goes to “L” level to notify external systems.
When a “L” level signal is applied to the CONTROL switch, the latch is released,so that the normal operation is
resumed at the next “H” level signal to the CONTROL switch.
Slow Start
The on/off switching time of the MB3841 can be delayed by applying capacitance between the SS and GND
pins. Controlling the on time can soften the surge current to the load side capacitance when power is turned on.
(tON, tOff are measured at 90% of VOUT.)
For details, see “Css vs. tON (SS) Characteristics” on p. 9.
The following approximation formula may be used to set on time when VIN = 5 V.
DISCHARGE
The MB3841 has a DISCHARGE pin function that immediately discharges electric charge on the load side when
the switch is turned off.

USAGE PRECAUTION
1. Never use settings exceeding maximum rated conditions.
Exceeding maximum rated conditions may cause permanent damage to the LSI.
Also, it is reco mmended that recommended operating conditions be observed in norma l use.
Exceeding recommended operating conditions may adversely affect LSI reliability.
2. Use this device within recommended operating conditions.
Recommended operating conditions are values within which the normal LSI oper ation is warranted.
Standard electrical characteristics are warranted within the range of recommended operating condit ions and
within the listed co nditions for each parameter.
3. Printed circuit board ground lines should be set up with consideration for common
impedance.
4. Take appropriate static electricity measures.
Containers f or se miconductor mate rials should have anti-static protec tion or be ma de of co nductive material.
After mounting, printed circuit boards should be stored and shipped in conductive bags or containers.
Work platforms, tools, and instruments should be properly grounded.
W orking personnel should be grounded with resistance of 250 kΩ to 1 MΩ between body and ground in serial.
5. Do not apply negative voltages.
The use of neg at ive vo lta ge s be low –0.3 V may create parasitic transistors on LSI lines, which can cause
abnormal operation.
