The AAT4650 SmartSwitch™ is a single channel PC
Card (PCMCIA) power switch. It is used to select
between two different voltage inputs, each between
2.7V and 5.5V. An internal switch powers the circuitry from whichever input voltage is higher. The
device's output, VCC, is slew rate controlled and current limited, in compliance with PC Card specifications. The current limit response time to a short circuit is typically 1µs. The internal P-Channel MOSFET switches are configured to break before make,
that is, both switches cannot be closed at the same
time. Controlled by a 2 bit parallel interface, the four
states for V
Ground. When in the ground state, VCCis pulled to
ground by a 5kΩ resistor. An open drain FAULT out-
put is asserted during over-current conditions.
During power up slewing, FAULT also signals that
V
is out of tolerance. An internal over temperature
CC
sensor forces VCCto a high impedance state when
an over-temperature condition exists. Quiescent
current is typically a low 15µA, as long as ICCis less
than approximately 500mA. Above this load current,
the quiescent current increases to 200µA.

Functional Description
ing circuit will slowly slew the V
output to the new
CC
voltage level which protects the upstream power
The AAT4650 is a single channel power switch that
can be used in any application where dual power
supply multiplexing is required. Typical applications
for this include PC card applications not requiring a
12 volt power supply, or applications where power is
switched, for example, between 5 volts for operation
and 3.3 volts for standby mode. The AAT4650 operates with input voltages ranging from 2.7 to 5.5 volts
in any combination and automatically powers its
internal circuitry off of whichever input voltage is
higher. Two identical low RDSP-channel MOSFETS
serve as the power multiplexing circuit with a common drain as the Vcc output and independent
sources as the two Vcc3 and Vcc5 inputs. A two bit
parallel interface determines the state of the multiplexer: Vcc=Vcc3, Vcc=Vcc5, Vcc with resistive pull
down to ground, or Vcc hi-impedance. When the
state is set to either of the two inputs, the multiplex-
4650.2001.10.0.937
supply from sudden load transients. When the
resistive pull down is chosen for VCC, the VCCoutput
is quickly discharged by the resistive pull down.
The AAT4650 always serves as an electronic fuse
by limiting the load current if it exceeds the current
limit threshold. During power up into a short, the
current will gradually increase until the current limit
is reached. During a sudden short circuit on the output, the current limit will respond in 1 µs to isolate
and protect the upstream power supply from the
load short circuit. In most applications, because the
response time is so fast, a short circuit to VCCwill
not affect the upstream supply, so system functionality will not be affected. In the case of an over current condition, an open drain FAULT flag output will
signal the event. The FAULT output is also active
during output voltage slew, and becomes inactive
once the output is within regulation.

Applications Information
Input Capacitor
Typically a 1µF or larger capacitor is recommended
for CIN. A CINcapacitor is not required for basic
operation, however, it is useful in preventing load
transients from affecting up stream circuits. C
should be located as close to the device VINpin as
practically possible. Ceramic, tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic capacitors may be selected for CIN.
There is no specific capacitor ESR requirement for
CIN. However, for higher current operation, ceramic
capacitors are recommended for C
inherent capability over tantalum capacitors to withstand input current surges from low impedance
sources such as batteries in portable devices.
Output Capacitor
A 0.1µF or greater capacitor is generally required
between Vcc and GND. Likewise, with the output
capacitor, there is no specific capacitor ESR
requirement. If desired, C
may be increased to
OUT
accommodate any load transient condition.
Parallel Interface / Break Before Make
A two bit parallel interface determines the state of
the Vcc output. The logic levels are compatible with
CMOS or TTL logic. A logic low value must be less
than 0.8 volts, and a logic high value must be greater
than 2.4 volts. In cases where the interface pins rapidly change state directly from 3v to 5v (or vice
versa), internal break before make circuitry prevents
any back flow of current from one input power supply to the other. In addition, the body connections of
the internal P-channel MOSFET switches are
always set to the highest potential of Vcc3, Vcc5, or
Vcc, which prevents any body diode conduction,
power supply backflow, or possible device damage.
FAULT Output
The FAULT output is pulled to ground by an open
drain N-channel MOSFET during an over current or
output slew condition. It should be pulled up to the
reference power supply of the controller IC via a
nominal 100KΩ resistor.
Voltage Regulation
The PC Card Specification calls for a regulated 5
volt supply tolerance of +/-5%. Of this, a typical
power supply will drop less than 2%, and the PCB
traces will drop another 1%. This leaves 2% for the
AAT4650 as the PC card switch. In the PC card
application, the maximum allowable current for the
due to their
IN
AAT4650 is dominated by voltage regulation rather
than by thermal considerations, and is set by either
the current limit or the maximum R
of the P-chan-
DS
nel MOSFET. The maximum RDSat 85°C is calculated by applying the RDSTempco to the maximum
room temperature RDS:

of the 5 volt supply (100mV) across the AAT4650
divided by R

. Or
DS(MAX)
= 100mV / 122mΩ = 820mA
For the 3.3 volt supply in the PC card application,
the conditions are a bit relaxed, with the allowable
voltage regulation drop equal to 300mV. With a 2%
supply, and 1% PCB trace regulation, the PC card
switch can have a 200mV drop. So
I
= 200mV / 134mΩ = 1.5A

Since 1.5A is the nominal current limit value, the
AAT4650 will current limit before I

is reached.

Overcurrent and Overtemperature
Protection
Because many AAT4650 applications provide power
to external devices, it is designed to protect its host
device from malfunctions in those peripherals
84650.2001.10.0.93
AAT4650
5V/3V PC Card Power Switch
through slew rate control, current limiting, and thermal limiting. The AAT4650 current limit and thermal
limit serve as an immediate and reliable electronic
fuse without any increase in RDSfor this function.
Other solutions such as a poly fuse do not protect
the host power supply and system from mishandling,
or short circuited peripherals, they will only prevent a
fire. The AAT4650 high speed current limit and
thermal limit not only prevent fires, they also isolate
the power supply and entire system from any activity at the external port, and report a mishap by means
of a FAULT signal.
Overcurrent and overtemperature go hand in hand.
Once an overcurrent condition exists, the current
supplied to the load by the AAT4650 is limited to the
overcurrent threshold. This results in a voltage drop
across the AAT4650 which causes excess power
dissipation and a package temperature increase. As
the die begins to heat up, the overtemperature circuit
is activated. If the temperature reaches the maximum level, the AAT4650 automatically switches off
the P-channel MOSFETs. While they are off, the
overtemperature circuit remains active. Once the
temperature has cooled by approximately 10°C, the
P-channel MOSFETs are switched back on. In this
manner, the AAT4650 is thermally cycled on and off
until the short circuit is removed. Once the short is
removed, normal operation automatically resumes.
To save power, the full high speed overcurrent circuit is not activated until a lower threshold of current (approximately 700mA) is exceeded in the
power device. When the load current exceeds this
crude threshold, the AAT4650 quiescent current
increases from 15µA to 150µA. The high speed
overcurrent circuit works by linearly limiting the current when the current limit is reached. As the voltage begins to drop on Vcc due to current limiting,
the current limit magnitude varies, and generally
decreases as the Vcc voltage drops to 0 volts.
Switching Vcc Voltage
The AAT4650 meets PC card standards for switching the Vcc output by providing a ground path for
Vcc as well as a hi impedance state. The PC card
protocol for determining low voltage operations is
to first power the peripheral with 5 volts and poll for
3.3 volt operation. When transitioning from 5 volts
to 3.3 volts, Vcc must be discharged to less than
0.8 volts to provide a hard reset. The resistive
ground state (CTL1=0, CTL0=0) will accommodate
this. The ground state will also guarantee the Vcc
voltage to be discharged within the specified
100ms amount of time.
Printed Circuit Board Layout
Recommendations
For proper thermal management, to minimize PCB
trace resistance, and to take advantage of the low
R
rules should be followed: Vcc3, Vcc5, and Vcc
should be routed using wider than normal traces, the
two Vcc pins (6 and 7) should be connected to the
same wide PCB trace, and GND should be connected to a ground plane. For best performance, CINand
C
of the AAT4650, a few circuit board layout

should be placed close to the package pins.
