19-4814; Rev 1; 1/11 250mA to 1.5A, Adjustable Current-Limit Switches Features The MAX14523A/MAX14523AL/MAX14523B/MAX14523C programmable current-limit switches feature internal current limiting to prevent damage to host devices due to faulty load conditions. These current-limit switches feature a low 70m on-resistance and operate from a +1.7V to +5.5V input voltage range. The current limit is adjustable from 250mA to 1.5A, making these devices ideal for SDIO (secure digital input/output) and other load-switching applications. Each device in the family handles an overcurrent event differently depending on the option selected. The MAX14523A/MAX14523AL go into an autoretry mode, the MAX14523B latches off the switch, and the MAX14523C features a continuous current-limit mode. Additional safety features include thermal shutdown to prevent overheating and reverse-current blocking to prevent current from being driven back into the source. The MAX14523A/MAX14523AL/MAX14523B/MAX14523C are available in a tiny 8-pin, 3mm x 3mm, TDFN package and operate over the -40C to +125C automotive temperature range.

MAX14523A MAX14523AL MAX14523B MAX14523C BANDGAP REFERENCE CURRENT LIMIT BUFFER ON/(ON)* SETI GND *( ) FOR THE MAX14523AL ONLY Detailed Description The MAX14523A/MAX14523AL/MAX14523B/MAX14523C programmable current-limit switches operate from +1.7V to +5.5V and provide internal current limiting adjustable from 250mA to 1.5A. These devices feature a fixed blanking time, and a FLAG output that notifies the processor when a fault condition is present. Programmable Current Limit/Threshold A resistor from SETI to GND sets the current limit/threshold for the switch (see the Setting the Current Limit/Threshold section). If the output current is limited at the current threshold value for a time equal to or longer than tBLANK, the output flag asserts and the MAX14523A/MAX14523AL enter the autoretry mode, the MAX14523B latches off the switch, and the MAX14523C enters the continuous current-limit mode. 8 Autoretry (MAX14523A/MAX14523AL) When the forward current reaches the current threshold, the tBLANK timer begins counting (Figure 2). FLAG asserts if the overcurrent condition is present for tBLANK or longer. The timer resets if the overcurrent condition disappears before the blanking time (tBLANK) has elapsed. A retry time delay (tRETRY) starts immediately after the blanking time has elapsed. During that time, the switch latches off. At the end of tRETRY, the switch turns on again. If the fault still exists, the cycle repeats. If the fault has been removed, the switch stays on. During this cycle, FLAG stays low. In autoretry, if the die temperature exceeds +170C (typ) due to self heating, the MAX14523A/MAX14523AL go into thermal shutdown until the die temperature drops by approximately 15C (see the Thermal Shutdown section.) _______________________________________________________________________________________ 250mA to 1.5A, Adjustable Current-Limit Switches ILOAD = ILIM [(tBLANK )/(tBLANK + tRETRY)] With a typical tBLANK = 17.5ms and typical tRETRY = 560ms, the duty cycle is 3%, resulting in a 97% power savings over the switch being on the entire time. Latchoff (MAX14523B) When the forward current reaches the current threshold, the tBLANK timer begins counting (Figure 3). FLAG asserts if an overcurrent condition is present for greater than tBLANK time. The timer resets if the overcurrent condition disappears before t BLANK has elapsed. The switch turns off if the overcurrent condition continues beyond the blanking time. Reset the switch by either toggling the control logic (ON or ON) or cycling the input voltage. If the die temperature exceeds +170C (typ) due to self heating, the MAX14523B goes into thermal shutdown until the die temperature drops by approximately 15C (see the Thermal Shutdown section). Continuous Current Limit (MAX14523C) When the forward current reaches the forward-current threshold, the MAX14523C limits the output current to the programmed current limit. FLAG asserts if the current limit is present for tBLANK and deasserts when the overload condition is removed. In this mode, if die temperature exceeds +170C (typ) due to self heating, the MAX14523C goes into thermal shutdown until the die temperature drops by approximately 15C (see the Thermal Shutdown section).

Toggle ON for the MAX14523B to reset the fault condition once the short-circuit current is detected and the device shuts down. Reverse-Current Protection The MAX14523A/MAX14523AL/MAX14523B/MAX14523C feature a reverse-current protection circuit that limits the backflow current to 2A when the reverse-current protection circuitry has tripped. The switch turns off and FLAG asserts without waiting for tBLANK to elapse. The switch turns back on and FLAG deasserts when VIN V OUT drops below the reverse-current threshold by 95mV (typ). FLAG Indicator FLAG is an open-drain fault indicator output and requires an external pullup resistor to a DC supply. FLAG goes low when any of the following conditions occur: * * The blanking time has elapsed The reverse-current protection has tripped * * The die temperature exceeds +170C SETI is connected to ground. Thermal Shutdown Thermal-shutdown circuitry protects the devices from overheating. The switch turns off and FLAG goes low immediately when the junction temperature exceeds +170C (typ). The switch turns on again after the device temperature drops by approximately 15C (typ). Applications Information Setting the Current Limit/Threshold A resistor from SETI to ground programs the current limit/threshold value for the MAX14523A/MAX14523AL/ MAX14523B/MAX14523C. Table 2 lists various current limit/thresholds set by different resistor values at SETI. Leaving SETI unconnected selects a 0 current limit/threshold. Connecting SETI to ground asserts FLAG. Use the following formula to calculate the current limit: RSETI(k) = 141400(V) - 2.48(k) ILIM (mA) _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX14523A/MAX14523AL/MAX14523B/MAX14523C The autoretry feature saves system power in case of an overcurrent or short-circuit condition. During tBLANK time, when the switch is on, the supply current is held at the current limit. During time tRETRY, when the switch is off, the current through the switch is zero. Thus, the average output current is much less than the programmed current limit. Calculate the average output current using the following equation: MAX14523A/MAX14523AL/MAX14523B/MAX14523C 250mA to 1.5A, Adjustable Current-Limit Switches Table 2.

Note: Connecting any capacitance larger than 20pF to SETI can cause instability. change is minimal. If the output is continuously shorted to ground at the maximum supply voltage, the operation of the switches with the autoretry option does not cause problems because the total power dissipated during the short is scaled by the duty cycle: P(MAX) = VIN(MAX) x IOUT(MAX) x tBLANK tRETRY + tBLANK Attention must be given to the MAX14523C continuous current-limit version when the power dissipation during a fault condition can cause the device to reach the thermal shutdown threshold. Chip Information PROCESS: BiCMOS IN Bypass Capacitor Pin Configuration Connect a minimum of 1F capacitor from IN to GND to limit the input voltage drop during momentary output short-circuit conditions. Larger capacitor values further reduce the voltage undershoot at the input. N.C. 1 FLAG 2 SETI 3 OUT 4 OUT Bypass Capacitor For stable operation over the full temperature range and over the full-programmable current-limit range, use a 1F ceramic capacitor from OUT to ground. Excessive output capacitance can cause a false overcurrent condition due to decreased dv/dt across the capacitor. Calculate the maximum capacitive load (CMAX) value that can be connected to OUT using the following formula: CMAX (F) = ILIM (mA) x tBLANK(MIN) (ms) VIN (V) To optimize the switch response time to output shortcircuit conditions, it is very important to keep all traces as short as possible to reduce the effect of undesirable parasitic inductance. Place input and output capacitors as close as possible to the device (no more than 5mm). IN and OUT must be connected with wide short traces to the power bus.
