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 voltage. 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 send s an external notification signal. The MB3841 is therefore idea l for power
management switching applications with USB specifications.
In addition, the MB3841 has features that ensure accurate on-off switching by preventing reverse current in off
mode, as well as rapid discharge of capacitors connected to output.

to prevent leak current generation because high impedance is required.
3 CURRENT Current limit setting pin. The limit current level is set by connecting this pin to
extern al 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 re sistance
(with VCC = 5 V) is connected to the GND terminal.
6V
CC Control power supply input pi n. 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 normally outputs a “H” level signal, b ut
changes to “L” level when an overcurrent, 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 connection, and should be pulled up to high potential using
resistance.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Current Limit Setting
The MB3841 provides highly accur ate switching current setting, in the range 100 mA to 2 A ±20% (with limit
setting current at 2 A) by placing resistance between the CURRENT and GND pins.
Because the setting is dependent on the VIN voltage, it is important that the appropriate resistance be connected
to the VIN pin.
The following approximation formula (1) may be used to calculate the limit setting when VIN = 5V.
For details, see “ RLIM vs. Limit Current Characteristics” on p. 9.
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 normal op eration 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 temperat ure 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 lat ch is released,so that 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 surge current to the load side capacitance when power is turned on.
(tON, tOff are measured at 90% of VOUT.)
The following approximation formula (2) may be used to set on time when VIN = 5 V.
For details, see “Css vs. tON (SS) Characteristics” on p. 9.
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 recommended that recommended operating conditions be observed in normal 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 normal LSI operation is warranted.
Standard ele ctrical characteristics are warranted within the ra nge of recommended operating conditions and
within the listed conditions 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 p rotec tion o r be ma de of co nductive material.
After mounting, printed circuit boards should be stored and shipped in cond uctive bags or containers.
Work platforms, tools, and instruments should be properly grounded.
Working personnel should be grounded with resistance of 250 k to 1 m between body and groun d .
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 operat ion.
