The MIC2564A is dual-slot PC Card (PCMCIA) and CardBus
power controller. It is a sophisticated power switching matrix
that controls VCC and VPP voltages to two PC Card slots. The
MIC2564A is used in conjunction with a serial-data output
logic controller using the standard three-wire serial control
data format.
When connected to 3.3V, 5V, and 12V system power supplies, the MIC2564A can switch its VCC outputs between 0V,
3.3V, 5.0V, and high-impedance states and VPP outputs
between 0V, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and high-impedance states. The
VCC outputs will supply a minimum of 1A current to the socket
and the VPP outputs will supply a minimum of 120mA to the
socket. Voltage rise and fall times are well controlled. The
MIC2564A also features an efficient standby (sleep) mode at
0.3µA typical quiescent current.
12V and 5V supplies are not required for MIC2564A opera-
tion making it possible to omit one or both supplies when they
are not needed by the system. An internal charge pump
supplies the internal bias voltages required for high-performance switching.
The MIC2564A is protected by overtemperature shutdown,
and protects itself and the system with current limiting and
cross-conduction lockout.
The MIC2564A is available in 24-pin SSOP and 24-pin
TSSOP.

Applications Information
PC Card power control for two sockets is easily accomplished
using the MIC2564A PC Card/CardBus power controller.
Control commands from a three-wire (plus Reset) serial bus
determine VCC and VPP output voltages and select standby
or operate mode.
VCC outputs of 3.3V and 5V at the maximum allowable PC
Card current are supported. The VCC outputs also support
GND (0V) and high-impedance states. The VPP outputs
support VPP (12V), VCC voltages (3.3V or 5V), GND (0V), or
high impedance. When the VCC = Hi-Z (high impedance)
condition is selected, the device switches into sleep mode
and draws only leakage current.
Full protection during hot switching is provided which prevents feedback from the V
supply into the 3.3V supply) by locking out the low voltage
switch until the initial switch’s gate voltage drops below 0.7V.
MIC2564A internal logic and MOSFET drive circuitry is
powered from the V
voltage multipliers. Switching speeds are carefully controlled
to prevent damage to sensitive loads and meet all PC Card
Specification timing requirements, including those for the
CardBus option.
Supply Bypassing
The MIC2564A is a switch and has no stability problems;
however, supply bypass capacitors are recommended to
reduce inductive transients and improve output ripple. As all
internal device logic and comparison functions are powered
from the V
input, the power supply quality on this line is the
CC3
most important. Micrel recommends placing 1µF surfacemount ceramic (low ESR) capacitors from V
V
IN pins to ground and two 0.1µF surface-mount ceramic
CC5
capacitors, one from each VPPIN pin, to ground. Also, the
VCCOUT and VPPOUT pins may use 0.01µF to 0.1µF
capacitors for noise reduction and to reduce the chance of
ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.
Power Status Feedback (Flags)
Two flag outputs monitor the VCC and VPP output voltages on
both slot A and B, falling low when the voltage is not proper.
Use of these open-drain flag outputs is optional; if they are
used, a pull-up resistor to either the 3.3V or 5V supply is
required. Unused flag outputs may be left open.
PC Card Slot Implementation
The MIC2564A is designed for full compatibility with the
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
(PCMCIA) PC Card Specification including the CardBus and
Zoom Video (ZV) options.
When a PC card is initially inserted, it should receive V
(3.3V ± 0.3V or 5.0V ±5%). The initial voltage is determined
by a combination of mechanical socket keys and voltage
sense pins. The card sends a handshaking data stream to the
logic controller, which then determines if this card requires
VPP and if the card is designed for dual VCC. If the card is
compatible with, and requires, a different V
controller commands the power controller to make this change
by disabling VCC, waiting at least 100ms, and then reenabling the other VCC voltage.
output (for example, from the 5V
CC
input and internal charge-pump
CC3
CC3
level, the logic
CC
IN and
CC
If no card is inserted, or the system is in sleep mode, the logic
controller commands the MIC2564A to shut down VCC. This
also places the switch into a shutdown (sleep) mode, where
current consumption drops to nearly zero, with only tiny
CMOS leakage currents flowing.
Internal device control logic, MOSFET drive and bias voltage
is powered from V
IN. The high voltage bias is generated
CC3
by an internal charge pump multiplier. Input logic threshold
voltages are compatible with common PC Card logic controllers using either 3.3V or 5V supplies.
PC Card Voltage Regulation
The MIC2564A has been designed to meet or exceed PC
Card voltage regulation specifications. The on-resistance of
the FET switches will meet regulation requirements at 600mA
and 1A respectively for VCC = 5V ±3% and 3.3V ±3%.
Flash Memory Implementation
When programming flash memory (standard +12V flash
memories), the PC Card slot logic controller enables VPP on
the MIC2564A, which connects VPPIN (nominally +12V) to
VPPOUT. The low on-resistance of the MIC2564A switch
allows using a small bypass capacitor on the VPPOUT pins,
with the main filtering performed by a large filter capacitor on
VPPIN. (Usually the main power supply filter capacitor is
sufficient.) Using a small-value capacitor such as 0.1µF on
the output causes little or no timing delays.
The VPPOUT transition from VCC to 12.0V typically takes
200µs. After programming is completed, the logic controller
signals to the MIC2564A, which then reduces VPPOUT to the
VCC level. Break-before-make switching action and controlled rise times reduce switching transients and lower
current spikes through the switch.
Output Current and Protection
The MIC2564A meets or exceeds all PCMCIA specifications.
MIC2564A output switches are capable of passing the maximum current needed by any PC Card. For system and card
protection, output currents are internally limited. For full
system protection, long term (longer than a few milliseconds)
output short circuits invoke overtemperature shutdown, protecting the MIC2564A, the system power supplies, the card
socket pins, board traces, and the PC Card. Individual
internal status registers for each slot indicate when power
problems exist.
Control Bus Interface Overview
The MIC2564A power controller communicates with a logic
controller (host adapter) via a 3-wire serial interface. A fourth
control line attaches to the system reset line (RST#) and
places all MIC2564A switches in the high impedance (off)
state. The reset function is active low.
