The AAT4626 SmartSwitch™ is part of
AnalogicTech's Application Specific Power
MOSFET™ (ASPM™) product family. It is a dualchannel 500mA current-limited P-channel MOSFET
power switch designed for high-side load-switching
applications. This switch operates with inputs ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, making it ideal for both 3V
and 5V systems. An integrated current-limiting circuit protects the input supply against large changes
in load current which may cause the supply to fall
out of regulation. The AAT4626 is also protected
from thermal overload which limits power dissipation and junction temperatures. The current limit
threshold is factory programmed at 1.0A, with a
maximum of 1.5A. The quiescent supply current is
typically a low 20µA. In shutdown mode, the supply
current decreases to less than 1µA.
The AAT4626 is available in 8 pin SOP or TSSOP
specified over a -40 to 85°C temperature range.
The AAT4600 Series is a family of adjustable and
fixed SmartSwitch™ products with a range of current handling capabilities. Single versions with
adjustable current limit (AAT4601) or fixed current
limit (AAT4625) as well as dual versions with fixed
current limit (AAT4626) are also available.

Functional Description
The AAT4626 is a dual integrated MOSFET load
switch with a fixed level current limit, over temperature protection, level shifted inputs and a fault flag
for each switch. The current limit control is combined with an over temperature thermal limit circuit
to provide a comprehensive system to protect the
load switch under short circuit or other adverse
operating conditions. The AAT4626 is ideally suited for control and protection of peripheral ports
such as USB, RS232 and parallel ports.
The current limit and over temperature circuits will
act independently. The device current limit is activated when the output load current exceeds a preset internal threshold level. The minimum current
limit threshold characteristic is specified by I
If the load switch ambient temperature becomes
excessive or if a short circuit condition persists, the
die temperature will rise causing the over temperature protection circuit to activate.
If the current limit or over temperature protection
circuits are active for more then ten milliseconds,

the system will be informed via the FAULT Flag.
The ten millisecond fault blanking delay allows the
AAT4626 to be turned on into large capacitive
loads without activating the FAULT Flags. The
open drain FAULT outputs can be connected
directly to system controllers driven by voltage levels less than the IN pin voltage without additional
level shifting circuitry.
Each of the two load switches is turned on and off
by applying a logic level signal to the EN(A/B) pin.
The AAT4626 enable function is available in both
active high and active low logic level versions. The
AAT4626 typically consumes 20µA when operating, when off, the device draws less then 1µA. In
the off state, current is prevented from flowing
between the input and output on each respective
.
channel. The EN(A/B) function has logic level
thresholds that allow the AAT4626 to be TTL compatible and may also be controlled by 2.5V to 5.0V
CMOS circuits. The voltage level on either
EN(A/B) or FAULT(A/B) should not exceed the
input supply level present on the IN pin.

Applications Information
Operation in Current Limit
If an excessive load is applied to the either output
of an AAT4626, the load current will be limited by
the AAT4626's current limit circuitry. Refer to the
"Current Limit" figure in the typical characteristics
section of this data sheet. If a short circuit were to
occur on the load applied to either the A or B output, there would be a demand for more current
than what is allowed by the internal current limiting
circuit and the voltage at the device output will
drop. This causes the AAT4626 to dissipate more
power than in normal operation, causing the die
temperature to increase. When die temperature
exceeds the internal over temperature threshold,
the AAT4626 will shut down both the A and B output channels. After shutting down, the AAT4626
cools to a level below the over temperature threshold, at which point it will start up again. The
AAT4626 will continue to cycle off and on until one
of the following events occurs; the load current of
the offending output is reduced to a level below the
AAT4626's current limit setting, the input power is
removed, or until the output is turned off by a logic
high level applied to the EN pin of the fault channel.
Thermal Considerations
Since the AAT4626 has internal current limit and
over temperature protection, junction temperature
is rarely a concern. If an application requires a
large load current in a high temperature operating
environment, there is the possibility that the over
temperature protection circuit rather than the current limit circuit from one of the two outputs will regulate the current available to the load. In these
applications, the maximum current available without risk of activation of the over temperature circuit
can be calculated. The maximum internal temperature while current limit is not active can be calculated using Equation 1.

The typical thermal limit temperature specification
is 125°C for the AAT4626, for calculations, 115°C is
a safe minimum value to use.
For example, a portable device is specified to operate in a 50°C environment. The printed circuit board
assembly will operate at temperatures as high as
85°C. This portable device has a sealed case and
the area of the printed board assembly is relatively
small causing R

If this system requires less than 1.4 A, the thermal
limit will not activate during normal operation.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor serves two purposes. First, it
protects the source power supply from transient
current effects generated by the application load circuits. If a short circuit is suddenly applied to either
output of an AAT4626, there is a microsecond long
period during which a large current can flow before
the current limit circuit becomes active. Refer to the
characteristic curve named "Short Circuit Through
0.3Ω." A properly sized input capacitor can dramatically reduce the load switch input transient
response effects seen by the power supply and
other circuitry upstream from the AAT4626.
The second purpose of the input capacitor is to prevent transient events generated by the load circuits
from effecting the operation of the AAT4626. For
example, if an AAT4626 is used in a circuit that operates from a 5 volt power supply with poor step load
response, it is possible that turning on the load
switch could cause the input power supply to droop
below the AAT4626's under voltage lockout threshold. This drop in voltage would cause the AAT4626
to turn off until the input power supply voltage levels
4626.2002.1.0.937
AAT4626

recovers. Since this cycle would be self-perpetuating, the entire circuit could be seen to be unstable. In
the very rare case where capacitor cost is prohibitive
and the input capacitor is omitted, the output load circuit should be slew rate limited when turned on.
Output Capacitor
In order to insure stability while the device current
limit is active, a small capacitance of approximately
1µF should be used on each output. When either
output of the AAT4626 is activated using the
EN(A/B) function, there are no momentary current
transients as in the case of when a short circuit suddenly applied to a device that is already on. Refer to
the characteristic curve named "Turn-On/OFF
Response". Regardless of output capacitor size,
output current on either output is limited to the value
allowed by the threshold determined by the internal
current limiting circuitry. Refer to the internal current
limit threshold specifications stated in the electrical
characteristics section of this datasheet. This permits very large output capacitors to be used.
For example, USB ports are specified to have at
least 120µF of down stream capacitance from their
controlling power switch. An output capacitance as
large as 1000µF would not disturb the input power
supply to an AAT4626 used to control a USB port.
Fault Flag Output
The AAT4626 features an active low fault flag
(FLGA and FLGB) output for each A and B output
channel. The fault flags are provided to alert the
system if the over current or over temperature circuits become active or if the load switch is not
receiving a sufficient voltage level to operate properly. If either the current limit or over temperature
circuits in any combination are constantly active for
more than approximately ten milliseconds, the
FLG(A/B) pin is pulled to ground internally through
an open drain device. The 10 millisecond delay on
the fault function is intended to prevent capacitive
loads connected to one of the load switch outputs
from activating it's respective flag when the device
is turned on. The placement of a pull up resistor
between the FLGA or FLGB pin and the IN pin is
recommended. Reasonable values for the pull up
resistor should range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ. Since
the fault flags are open drain terminals, they may be
pulled up to any voltage that is not greater than the
level present on the IN pin. This is done to allow the
AAT4625 to signal ancillary circuitry that is powered
by voltage levels less than the level on the IN pin.
If a fault flag delay greater then 10ms is required,
addition delay may be added by use of an RC filter.
Referencing to Figure 1, an RC filter can be added
to the fault flag output.
EN Inputs
The AAT4626 has two enable inputs, ENA and
ENB. These two enable inputs allow the AAT4626
to independently control each respective output.
The device is available in both active high EN
enable and active low (EN) enable versions. For
specific part numbers, refer to the ordering information section. When both the A and B outputs of
the AAT4626 are in the off state, the respective outputs are an open circuit and the device quiescent
current consumption is reduced to less than 1µA.
The ENA and ENB threshold voltages are set to
allow the AAT4626 to be controlled by 5 volt TTL
levels as well as CMOS compatible levels ranging
from 2.5 volts to 5 volts. The ENA or ENB function
control voltage levels should not exceed the input
supply level applied to the IN pin.
84626.2002.1.0.93
Reverse Voltage
The AAT4626 is designed to control current flowing
from IN to OUT. If a voltage is applied to OUT
which is greater than that on IN, a large resulting
reverse current may flow, potentially damaging the
AAT4626.
Under Voltage Lockout
The AAT4626 has been designed with an under
voltage lockout (UVLO) control circuit. The under
voltage lockout prevents the output MOSFET
devices from turning on until VIN exceeds the typical UVLO threshold of 2.3 volts. During operation,
the device will automatically shutdown if VIN falls
below the UVLO threshold and the fault flags will
be toggled.

Hot-Plug Applications
Application circuit cards with a high in-rush current
potential can be limited by use of the AAT4626.
The AAT4626 has both slew rate limited turn on
characteristics and current limit controlled outputs,
which make it ideally suited for power port hot-plug
applications. A host power back plane or hot plug
receptacle may be sensitive to short duration high

power surges. The AAT4626 will turn on in a linear
ramping fashion and regulate the inrush current
with in the specified current limit for the device.
The error flag usually will not be effected during
application turn on since the 10ms fault flag blanking time is intended for these types of events. If an
application turn on current surge exceeds 10ms, an
RC delay filter may be added to the Flag output to
prevent the system from receiving an error during
the start up sequence.

PCB Layout Information
In order to obtain the maximum performance from
the AAT4626, very careful attention must be considered in regard to the printed circuit board layout.
In most port power switch and port protection applications, high voltage and current transient events
will occur. Proper printed circuit board (PCB) layout can help reduce the effects of transient events.
PCB trace resistance will effect over all circuit transient response, in addition small voltage drops will
be incurred.
Refer to the following guidelines for power port
PCB layout:
1. PCB traces should be kept as short and direct
as possible to minimize the effects of the PCB

5. The use of PCB trace vias should be avoided
on all traces that conduct high currents. If
