The AAT4610 SmartSwitch™ is a member of
AnalogicTech's Application Specific Power
MOSFET™ (ASPM™) product family. It is a 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 currents which may cause the supply to fall out of regulation. The AAT4610 is also protected from thermal overload which limits power dissipation and junction temperatures. It can be used
to control loads that require up to 1 A. Current limit
threshold is programmed with a resistor from SET to
ground. The quiescent supply current is typically a
low 15µA max. In shutdown mode, the supply current decreases to less than 1µA.
The AAT4610 is available in a 5 pin SOT-23 specified over -40 to 85°C.
The AAT4600 Series is a family of adjustable and
fixed SmartSwitch™ with a range of current handling capabilities. Available are single versions in
adj. current limit (AAT4600, AAT4601) as well as in
fixed current limit (AAT4602, AAT4625). Dual ver-
sions (AAT4620, AAT4626) are also available.

Applications Information
Setting Current Limit
In most applications, the variation in I
taken into account when determining R
variation is due to processing variations from part
to part, as well as variations in the voltages at IN
(pin 5) and OUT (pin 3), plus the operating temperature. See charts "Current Limit vs. Temperature",
and "Output Current vs. V
". Together these
OUT
three factors add up to a ±25% tolerance (see I
specification in Electrical Characteristics section).
In the figure below, a cold device with a statistically higher current limit, and a hot device with a statistically lower current limit, both with R
10.5kΩ are shown. While the chart, "R
indicates an I
of 0.7A with an R
LIM
this figure shows that the actual current limit will be
at least 0.525A, and no greater than 0.880A.

Operation in Current Limit
When a heavy load is applied to the output of the
AAT4610, the load current is limited to the value of
I
determined by R
LIM
Operation". Since the load is demanding more current than I
, the voltage at the output drops. This
LIM
causes the AAT4610 to dissipate a larger than normal quantity of power, and its die temperature to
increase. When the die temperature exceeds an
over temperature limit, the AAT4610 will shut down
until is has cooled sufficiently, at which point it will
startup again. The AAT4610 will continue to cycle
on and off until the load is removed, power is
removed, or until a logic high level is applied to ON
(pin 4).
. See the figure "Overload
SET
Enable Input
In many systems, power planes are controlled by
integrated circuits which run at lower voltages than
the power plane itself. The enable input ON (pin 4)
of the AAT4610 has low and high threshold voltages that accommodate this condition. The threshold voltages are compatible with 5 volt TTL, and 2.5
volt to 5 volt CMOS.
Reverse Voltage
The AAT4610 is designed to control current flowing
from IN to OUT. If a voltage is applied to OUT which
is greater than the voltage on IN, large currents may
flow. This could cause damage to the AAT4610.
