MIC2040/2041 Micrel MIC2040/2041 Single Channel Low Voltage Power Distribution Switch General Description Features The MIC2040 and MIC2041 are high side MOSFET switches optimized for general purpose power distribution applications that require circuit protection. The devices switch up to 5.5V and as low as 0.8V while offering both programmable current limiting and thermal shutdown to protect the device and the load. A fault status output is provided in order to detect overcurrent and thermal shutdown fault conditions. Both devices employ soft start circuitry to minimize the inrush current in applications that employ highly capacitive loads. Additionally, the MIC2040/41 is suited for multi-port USB applications to satisfy upstream/downstream power requirements. The MIC2041 features a auto-reset circuit breaker mode that latches the output off upon detecting an overcurrent condition lasting more than 28ms. The output is reset by removing or reducing the load.

Thermal Shutdown Response M9999-012004 TIME (100ms/div.) 10 January 2005 MIC2040/2041 Micrel Programmable Current Limit The MIC2040/41 is designed to prevent damage to the external load by limiting the maximum amount of current it can draw. The current limit is programmed by an external resistor (RSET) connected from ILIM to ground and becomes active when the output voltage is at least 200mV below the voltage at the input to the device. The limiting current value is defined by the current limit factor (CLF) divided by RSET, and the MIC2040/41 will limit from 0.25A to 1.5A with a set point accuracy of 18%. In programming the nominal current limit, the value of RSET is determined using the following equation: Functional Description The MIC2040 and MIC2041 are high-side N-Channel switches equipped with programmable current limit up to 1.5A for use in general purpose power distribution applications. The switches, available with active-high or active-low enable inputs, operate down to 0.8V and provide circuit protection via thermal shutdown and an optional output latch during overcurrent conditions. Input and Output VBIAS supplies power to the internal circuitry of the switch and must be present for the switch to operate. VIN is connected to the drain of the output MOSFET and sources power to the switched load. VIN must be less than or equal to VBIAS. VOUT is the source terminal of the output MOSFET and attaches to the load. In a typical circuit, current flows from VIN to VOUT toward the load. If VOUT is greater than VIN, current will flow from VOUT to VIN since the switch is bi-directional when the device is enabled. When disabled (OFF), the switch will block current flow from either direction. RSET = CLF (340A x ) = ILIM ILIM (1) And given the 18% tolerance of the current limit factor (CLF), the external resistor is bound by: 187 RSET 1.6k (2) The graph below (Figure 3) displays the current limit factor characteristic over the full temperature and voltage range indicated on the graph. This curve can be used as a point of reference in determining the maximum variation in the device's current limit over the full temperature range. For example: With VIN = VBIAS = 3.0V and a nominal 1A current limit (RSET = 340), the low and high current limit settings for the MIC2040/41 would be approximately 0.82A and 1.18A, respectively, as shown on the graph using the 340 reference. The MIC2041 is equipped with an internal circuit breaker for overcurrent protection. During an overcurrent event which exceeds the flag delay, the /FAULT output is asserted and the MIC2041 latches the output off. Once the overcurrent load is removed, the output automatically resets. Enable Input Enable, the ON/OFF control for the output switch, is a digital input available as an active-high (-1) or active-low (-2) signal. The EN pin, referenced to approximately 0.5 x VBIAS, must be driven to a clearly defined logic high or logic low. Failure to observe this requirement, or allowing EN to float, will cause the MIC2040/41 to exhibit unpredictable behavior. EN should not be allowed to go negative with respect to ground, nor allowed to exceed VBIAS. Failure to adhere to these conditions may result in damage to the device. Undervoltage Lockout When the switch is enabled, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) monitors the input voltage, VIN, and prevents the output MOSFET from turning on until VIN exceeds a predetermined level, nominally set at 1.45V. The UVLO threshold is adjustable and can be varied by applying an external resistor divider to the UVLOIN pin from VIN to GND. The resistive divider network is required when the input voltage is below 1.5V. The UVLO threshold is internally preset to 1.45V if the UVLOIN pin is left open. See "Applications Information."

Current Limit Factor January 2005 11 M9999-012004 MIC2040/2041 Micrel Depending on PCB layout (including thermal considerations such as heat sinking), package, and ambient temperature, it may take several hundred milliseconds from the incidence of the fault to the output MOSFET being shut off. Circuit Breaker Function (MIC2041) The MIC2041 is designed to shut off all power to the load when a fault condition occurs, just as a circuit breaker would do. A fault condition is deemed to be anytime the output current exceeds the current limit for more than the flag delay period, nominally 28ms. Once the output shuts off, it remains off until either the fault load is removed from VOUT or the EN input is cycled ON-OFF-ON. If the fault is still present after EN has been cycled, the MIC2041 will again shut off all power to the load after 28ms. Once the fault has been removed, then normal operation will resume. /FAULT The /FAULT signal is an N-Channel, open-drain MOSFET output. An external pull-up resistor tied to a maximum 6V rail is required for the /FAULT pin. The /FAULT pin is asserted (active-low) when either an overcurrent or thermal shutdown condition occurs. During a hot insert of a PCB or when turning on into a highly capacitive load, the resulting high transient inrush current may exceed the current limit threshold of the MIC2040/41. In the case where an overcurrent condition occurs, /FAULT will assert only after the flag delay time has elapsed, typically 28ms. This ensures that /FAULT is asserted only upon valid overcurrent conditions and that nuisance error reporting is prevented. Thermal Shutdown For the MIC2040, thermal shutdown is employed to protect the device from damage should the die temperature exceed safe margins due to a short circuit or an excessive load. Thermal shutdown shuts off the output MOSFET and asserts the /FAULT output if the die temperature exceeds 140C. The MIC2040 automatically resets its output and resumes supplying current to the load when the die temperature drops to 120C. If the fault is still present, the MIC2040 will quickly reheat and shut down again. This process of turning ON-OFF-ON is called thermal cycling and will continue as long as the power switch is enabled while the fault or excessive load is present. M9999-012004 Open Load Detection The MIC2041 will automatically reset its output when the fault load is cleared. This is accomplished by applying a small current to VOUT and watching for the voltage at VOUT to rise to within 200mV of VIN. This current is supplied by an internal resistor connected to VIN and is connected to VOUT when MIC2041 latches off. 12 January 2005 MIC2040/2041 Micrel Reverse Current Block Applications Information The MIC2040/41 provides reverse current flow block through the output MOSFET if the voltage at VOUT is greater than VIN when the device is disabled. The VBIAS supply has a limited reverse current flow if the voltage at VOUT is pulled above VBIAS when the device is disabled. The reverse current for VBIAS can be completely blocked by inserting a Schottky diode from the VBIAS pin (cathode) to the supply (anode). However, the minimum voltage of 1.6V must be supplied to VBIAS after accounting for the voltage drop across the diode. UVLO Threshold Setting With Low Input Voltages When the switching voltage is below 1.6V, the device's standard UVLO threshold (1.45V nominal) will hinder the output MOSFET in switching VIN to VOUT. In this case, the use of the UVLOIN pin is required to override the standard UVLO threshold and set a new, lower threshold for the lower input operating voltages. An external resistive divider network connected at the UVLOIN pin is used to set the new threshold. Due to the ratio of the internal components, the total series resistance of the external resistive divider should not exceed 200k. The circuit shown in Figure 4 illustrates an application that switches 0.8V while the device is powered from a separate 2.5V power supply. The UVLO threshold is set by the following equation. Input and Output Supply Bypass Filtering The need for input supply bypass is brought about due to several factors, most notably the input/output inductance along the power path, operating current and current limit, and output capacitance. A 0.1F to 0.47F bypass capacitor positioned very close to the VIN pin to GND of the device is strongly recommended to filter high frequency oscillations due to inductance. Also, a sufficient bypass capacitor positioned close to the input source to the switch is strongly advised in order to suppress supply transient spikes and to limit input voltage droop. Inrush current increases with larger output capacitance, thus the minimum value of this capacitor will require experimental determination for the intended application and design. A good starting point is a capacitor between 4.7F to 15F. Without these bypass capacitors, an extreme overload condition such as a short circuit, or a large capacitive load, may cause either the input supply to exceed the maximum rating of 6V and possibly cause damage to the internal control circuitry or allow the input supply to droop and fall out of regulation and/or below the minimum operating voltage of the device. Output Capacitance R2 VUVTH = 0.23V x 1 + R3 When the MIC2040 die exceeds the overtemperature threshold of approximately 140C, the device can enter into a thermal shutdown mode if the die temperature falls below 120C and then rises above 140C in a continuous cycle. With the VOUT and /FAULT outputs cycling on and off, the MIC2040 will reset the /FAULT while in an overtemperature fault condition if the output voltage is allowed to swing below ground. The inductance present at the output must be neutralized by capacitance in order to ensure that the output does not fall below ground. In order to counter the board parasitic inductance and the inductance of relatively short-length (<1 ft., 16 - 20 gauge wire), a minimum output capacitance of 22F is strongly recommended and should be placed close to the VOUT pin of the MIC2040. For applications that use more than a foot of cable, an additional 10F/ft. is recommended. (3) In substituting the resistor values from Figure 4, the resulting UVLO threshold (VUVTH) is calculated as 0.6V for this 0.8V switching application. When using the UVLOIN pin to set a new UVLO threshold, an optional 0.1F to 1.0F capacitor from UVLOIN to GND may be used as a glitch filter in order to avoid nuisance tripping of the UVLO threshold. If the UVLOIN pin is not in use, this pin should be left open (floating). The use of a pull-down resistor to ground will offset the ratio of the internal resistive divider to this pin resulting in a shift in the UVLO threshold. To bypass (disable) UVLO, connect the UVLOIN pin directly to the VIN pin of the MIC2040/41.

Lower UVLO Setting January 2005 13 M9999-012004 MIC2040/2041 Micrel Power Dissipation Power dissipation depends on several factors such as the load, PCB layout, ambient temperature, and package type. The following equations can be used to calculate power dissipation and die temperature. Calculation of power dissipation can be accomplished by the following equation: PD = RDS(on) x (IOUT)2 (4) To relate this to junction temperature, the following equation can be used: TJ = PD x R(J-A) + TA (5) where TJ = junction temperature, TA = ambient temperature and R(J-A) is the thermal resistance of the package. Printed Circuit Board Hot-Plug The MIC2040/41 are ideal inrush current limiting power switches suitable for hot plug applications. Due to the integrated charge pump, the MIC2040/41 present a high impedance when in the off state and the device slowly becomes a low impedance as it turns on. This effectively isolates power supplies from highly capacitive loads by reducing inrush current during hot plug events. This same feature also can be used for soft-start requirements. Bus-Powered Hub (USB) Figure 5 illustrates a bus-powered hub application where the MIC2040 provides ganged power switching to multiple downstream ports. A low-cost MIC5203 (SOT-143) or MIC5207 (TO-92) 3.3V low-dropout (LDO) regulator provides power from the bus to the USB controller. PCB Layout Recommendations The MIC2040 and MIC2041 have very low on-resistance, typically 50m, and the switches can provide up to 1.5A of continuous output current. Under maximum load, the power consumed by the devices may cause the devices to heat up considerably. The following list contains some useful suggestions for PCB layout design of the MIC2040/41 in order to prevent the die from overheating under normal operating conditions.

Tie the common power pins (VIN = pins 7 and 9 and VOUT = pins 8 and 10) together in a manner such that the traces entering and leaving the device have a uniform width sufficient for the application's current requirements plus added margin (25% minimum recommended). Ex: For 1A maximum current, design traces for 1.25A capability. 4. For PCB trace width calculations, there are numerous calculator programs available on the internet and elsewhere. As a general rule of thumb, 15-20 mils for every 1A of current when using 1oz. copper. However, the trace width calculators often take into account maximum temperature increase constraints, as well as layer arrangement, in determining the PCB trace widths.
