The AAT4670 SmartSwitch™ is part of the Analogic
Tech Application Specific Power MOSFET
(ASPM™) line of products. The AAT4670 consists
of dual, independent, 1A current limited, slew rate
controlled P-channel MOSFET power switches with
a dedicated source and drain pin assigned to each
switch. The internal circuitry automatically derives
power from the higher of the two input power source
pins with a low operating quiescent current of 18µA.
In shutdown mode, the supply current decreases to
less than 1µA. The switches operate with inputs
ranging from 2.2V to 5.5V, making them ideal for
2.5V, 3V and 5V systems. The dual configuration
permits integration of the load switch function for
systems with two different power busses.
Independent under voltage lockout circuits will shut
down the corresponding switch if its input voltage
falls below the under voltage lockout threshold. If
the die temperature reaches the thermal limit, both
switches thermal cycle off and on indefinitely without
damage until the thermal condition is removed. An
open drain FAULT output signals an over current or
over temperature condition for each channel. Input
logic levels are TTL compatible.
The AAT4670 is available in 8 pin SOP, TSSOP or
MSOP specified over -40 to 85 °C temperature
range.

Functional Description
The AAT4670 dual channel load switch, implemented with isolated independent P-channel MOSFET
devices, is ideal for applications where dual power
supplies are in continuous use. Typical applications
for this include products with multiple USB ports, or
ports requiring protection that operate off of separate
power supplies. The input power supplies can be
any voltage between 2.2V and 5.5V in any combination; one supply is not required to be the higher voltage. Internally, the power supply for the control circuitry will automatically switch to the higher of the two
supplies. In the case where the supplies are equal,
+/- 30mV of hysteresis prevents the internal supply
from oscillating between the two input supplies. The
low impedance P-channel MOSFET devices are
identical in size allowing for layout flexibility. They are
controlled by a patented fast acting current loop, and
respond to short circuits in a fraction of a microsecond, which eases requirements on the input capacitors. With such fast transient response time, the
upstream power supply rail is naturally isolated from
the protected port. The AAT4670 is internally protected from thermal damage by an over temperature
detection circuit. If a high ambient temperature or an

over current condition causes the die temperature to
reach the internal thermal limit, both power devices
are switched off until the die temperature cools to a
level below the thermal limit threshold. The device
will thermal cycle indefinitely until the over current or
high temperature condition is removed. Due to the
high thermal conductivity of silicon and the size of the
die, the temperature across the die is relatively uniform at high temperatures, and therefore, as a precaution, both power devices are switched off when
the thermal threshold is reached. Since the power
devices operate off of independent power supplies,
independent under voltage lockout circuits are
employed. If the power supply to one channel falls
below the under voltage lockout threshold, the other
channel will remain active. A current limit condition is
reported by the open drain FAULT output associated
with the appropriate channel. A thermal limit condition is reported by both FAULT outputs. A three millisecond blanking interval prevents false reporting
during the charging of a capacitive load, which typically occurs during device turn-on, but may also
occur during a port hot plug-in event.
The AAT4670 is ideally suited for protection of peripheral ports such as USB, PS2 and parallel ports.

Applications Information
Input Capacitor
The input capacitors, C
power supplies from current transients generated by
loads attached to the AAT4670. If a short circuit is
suddenly applied to an output of the AAT4670, there
is a 750 nanosecond period during which a large
current flows before current limit circuitry activates.
(See characteristic curve "Short Circuit Through
0.3Ω.") In this event, a properly sized input capaci-
tor can dramatically reduce the voltage transient
seen by the power supply and other circuitry
upstream from the AAT4670. CINshould 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 CINdue to their inherent capability
over tantalum capacitors to withstand input current
surges from low impedance sources such as batteries in portable devices.
Output Capacitor
In order to insure stability while the current limit is
active, a small capacitance of approximately 1µF is
required on each output. No matter how big the
output capacitor, output current is limited to the
value set by the AAT4670 current limiting circuitry,
allowing very large output capacitors to be used.
For example, USB ports are specified to have at
least 120µF of capacitance down stream from their
controlling power switch. The current limiting circuit
will allow an output capacitance of 1000µF or more
without disturbing the upstream power supply.
Attaching Loads
Capacitive loads attached to the AAT4670 will charge
at a rate no greater than the current limit setting.
FAULT Output
FAULT flags are provided to alert the system if an
AAT4670 load is not receiving sufficient voltage to
operate properly. If current limit or over temperature circuits in any combination are active for more
than approximately three milliseconds, the associated FAULT flag is pulled to ground through
approximately 100Ω . Removal of voltage or cur-
rent transients of less than three milliseconds prevents capacitive loads connected to either
INA
and C
, protect the input
INB
AAT4670 output from activating the associated
FAULT flag when they are initially attached. Pull up
resistances of 1kΩ to 100kΩ are recommended.
Since FAULT is an open drain terminal, it may be
pulled up to any unrelated voltage less than the
maximum operating voltage of 5.5V, allowing for
level shifting between circuits.
Thermal Considerations
Since the AAT4670 has internal current limit and
over temperature protection, junction temperature is
rarely a concern. However, if the application
requires large currents in a hot environment, it is
possible that temperature rather than current limit will
be the dominant regulating condition. In these applications, the maximum current available without risk
of an over temperature condition must be calculated.
The maximum internal temperature while current
limit is not active can be calculated using Equation 1.

AAT4670 die and the board onto which it is mounted. TA(MAX) is the maximum temperature that the
PCB under the AAT4670 would be if the AAT4670
were not dissipating power. Equation 1 can be
rearranged to solve for I
TSD(MIN) is the minimum temperature required to
activate the AAT4670 over temperature protection.
With typical specification of 125°C, 115°C is a safe
minimum value to use.
For example, if an application is specified to operate in 50°C environments, the PCB operates at
temperatures as high as 85°C. The application is
sealed and its PCB is small, causing R
approximately 120°C/W. Using Equation 2,
To prevent thermal limiting, the operating load current in the application must be less than 1.25A
which lies in the current limiting range, so in this
application, any operating current below the current limit threshold is allowed.
