Description
The FPF2300/02/03 are dual-channel load switches of
IntelliMAX™ family. The FPF2300/02/03 consist of dual,
independent, current-limited, slew rate controlled, Pchannel MOSFET power switches. Slew rated turn-on
prevents inrush current from glitching supply rails. The
input voltage range operates from 1.8V to 5.5V to fulfill
today's USB device supply requirements. Switch control
is accomplished by a logic input (ON) capable of
interfacing directly with low-voltage control signal.
For the FPF2302, if the constant current condition persists after 10ms, these parts shut down the switch and
pull the fault signal pin (FLAGB) LOW. The FPF2300 has
an auto-restart feature that turns the switch on again
after 504ms if the ON pin is still active. For the FPF2303,
a current limit condition immediately pulls the fault signal
pin LOW and the part remains in the constant-current
mode until the switch current falls below the current limit.
For the FPF2300 through FPF2303, the current limit is
typically 1.3A for each switch to align with notebook
computing applications. FPF2300/02/03 is available in
both SO8 and MLP 3X3mm 8-lead packages.
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The
absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only

FPF2300/02/03 — Dual-Output Current Limit Switch
Recommended Operating Range
The Recommended Operating Conditions table defines the conditions for actual device operation. Recommended
operating conditions are specified to ensure optimal performance to the datasheet specifications. Fairchild does not
recommend exceeding them or designing to absolute maximum ratings.
The FPF2300, FPF2302, and FPF2303 are dual-output currentlimit switches designed to meet notebook computer, peripheral
USB port, and point-of-load (POL) application power requirements.
Dual-output current can be used where dual or quad USB ports are
powered by hosts or self-powered hubs. The FPF230X family
offers control and protection while providing optimum operation
current for a safe design practice. The core of each switch is a
typical 75mΩ (IN = 5.5V) P-channel MOSFET and a controller
capable of functioning over an input operating range of 1.8-5.5V.
The FPF230X family offers current limiting, UVLO (under-voltage
lockout), and thermal shutdown protection per each switch. In the
event of an over-current condition, the load switch limits the load to
current limit value. The minimum current limit is set to 1100mA.
On/Off Control
The ON pin is active LOW for FPF2300/2/3 and controls the state
of the switch. Pulling the ON pin continuous to LOW holds the
switch in the ON state. The switch moves into the OFF state when
the ON pin is pulled HIGH or if a fault is encountered. For all
versions, an under-voltage on input voltage or a junction
temperature in excess of 140°C overrides the ON control to turn off
the switch. In addition, excessive currents cause the switch to turn
off in the FPF2300 and FPF2302 after a 10ms blanking time. The
FPF2300 has an auto-restart feature that automatically turns the
switch ON again after 504ms. For the FPF2302, the ON pin must
be toggled to turn on the switch again. The FPF2303 does not turn
off in response to an over-current condition, but remains operating
in a constant-current mode as long as ON is enabled and the
thermal shutdown or UVLO is not activated. The ON pin does not
have a pull-down or pull-up resistor and should not be left floating.
Current Limiting
The current limit ensures that the current through the switch
doesn't exceed a maximum value, while not limiting at less than a
minimum value. FPF230X family has dual-output load switches
being housed in one package. The minimum current at which both
switches start limiting the load current is set to 1100mA. The
FPF2300 and FPF2302 have a blanking time of 10ms (typical),
during which the switch acts as a constant current source. At the
end of the blanking time, the switch is turned off. The FPF2303 has
no current limit blanking period, so it remains in a constant current
state until the ON pin of the affected switch is deactivated or the
thermal shutdown turns off the switch.
Fault Reporting
Over-current, input under-voltage, and over-temperature fault
conditions are signaled out by the FLAGB pin going LOW. A UVLO
fault is reported on both FLAGB(A) and FLAGB(B) simultaneously,
while over-current and over-temperature condition faults are
reported independently. FPF2300 and FPF2302 have a current
fault blanking feature that prevents over-current faults shorter than
the blanking time (t
signal (FLAGB) output.
BLANK(Typ)
If the over-current condition persists beyond the blanking time, the
FPF2300 pulls the FLAGB pin LOW and shuts the switch off. If the
ON pin is kept active, an auto-restart feature releases the FLAGB
pin and turns the switch on again after a 504ms auto-restart time
(t
). If the over-current condition persists beyond the blanking
RSTRT
time, the FPF2302 has a latch-off feature that pulls the FLAGB pin
LOW and shuts the switch off. The switch is kept off and the
FLAGB pin kept LOW until the ON pin is toggled. The FPF2303
responds to an overload condition by immediately pulling the
FLAGB pin LOW and the switch remains in constant current mode
until the output overload condition is removed. The FPF2303 has a
= 10ms) from triggering the fault
startup blanking feature that prevents current faults related to startup transients from triggering the FLAGB output. The startup blanking feature is effective for the first 10ms (typical) following device
turn-on via ON pin.
The FLAGB outputs are two open-drain MOSFETs that require a
pull-up resistor on each FLAGB pin. FLAGB can be pulled HIGH to
a voltage source other than input supply with maximum 5.5V. A
100KΩ pull-up resistor is recommended. When the ON pin is inactive, the FLAGB is disabled to reduce current draw from the supply.
If the FLAGB is not used, the FLAGB can be connected to ground
on the PCB.

Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The under-voltage lockout feature turns off the switch if the
input voltage drops below the under-voltage lockout threshold.
With the ON pin active (ON pin pulled LOW), the input voltage
rising above the under-voltage lockout threshold causes a
controlled turn-on of the switch and limits current overshoot. If a
device is in UVLO condition, both FLAGBs go LOW and indicate
the fault condition. The device detects the UVLO condition when
input voltage goes below UVLO voltage, but remains above
1.3V (typical).
Reverse Current Blocking
Each switch of FPF2300/2/3 has an independent reverse
current blocking feature that protects input source against
current flow from output to input. For a standard USB power
design, this is an important feature that protects the USB host
from being damaged due to reverse current flow on V
activate the reverse current blocking, the switch must be in OFF
BUS
. To
state (ON pins inactivated) so that no current flows from the
output to the input. The FLAGB operation is independent of the
reverse current blocking and does not report a fault condition if
this feature is activated.
Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown protects the device from internally or
externally generated excessive temperatures. Each switch has
an individual thermal shutdown protection function and operates
independently as adjacent switch temperatures increase above
140°C. If one switch is in normal operation and shutdown
protection of second switch is activated, the first channel
continues to operate if the affected channel's heat stays
confined. The over-temperature in one channel can shut down
both switches due to rapidly generated excessive load currents
resulting in very high power dissipation. Generally, a thermally
improved board layout can provide heat sinking and allow heat
to stay confined and not affect the second switch operation.
During an over-temperature condition, the FLAGB is pulled
LOW and the affected switch is turned off. If the temperature of
the die drops below the threshold temperature, the switch
automatically turns on again. To avoid unwanted thermal
oscillations, a 10°C (typical) thermal hysteresis is implemented
between thermal shutdown entry and exit temperatures.
If output of both switches are connected together and an
excessive load current activates thermal protection of both, the
controller can shut down the switches after both FLAGB outputs
go LOW and turn on both channels again. This provides
simultaneous switch turn on. Thermal protection is for device
protection and should not be used as regular operation.
Input Capacitor

inrush currents when the switch is turned on into discharged
load capacitors or a short-circuit; an input capacitor, C

FPF230X is designed to simplify USB port power design based
on self-powering USB host/hub applications. A self-powering
USB port is powered by a local 5V power supply, not by an
upstream port. Each port should supply at least 500mA to each
downstream function based on USB 2.0 specification. Implementation can depend on the number of USB ports and current

Power Dissipation
During normal operation as a switch, the power dissipation of
the device is small and has little effect on the operating
temperature of the part. The maximum power dissipation for
both switches while the switch is in normal operation occurs just
before both channels enter into current limit. This may be
calculated using the formula:
P
D_MAX(Normal Operation)
For example, for a 5V application, maximum normal operation
power loss while both switches delivering output current up to
1.1A, can be calculated as:
P
D_MAX(Normal Operation)(IN = 5V)
The maximum junction temperature should be limited to 125°C
under normal operation. Junction temperature can be calculated using the formula below:

minimum load current can be achieved by tying dual outputs

If the part goes into current limit, the maximum power

Note that this is below the maximum package power dissipation
and the thermal shutdown feature protection provides additional
safety to protect the part from damage due to excessive
heating. The junction temperature is only able to increase to the
thermal shutdown threshold. Once this temperature has been
reached, toggling ON has no affect until the junction
temperature drops below the thermal shutdown exit
temperature. For the FPF2303, a short on both outputs causes
both switches to operate in a constant current state and
dissipate a worst-case power of:
MAX
= 2 x IN
(MAX)
x I
LIM(MAX)
= 2 x 5.5 x1.5 = 16.5 W
As both FPF2303 outputs are connected to GND.
This power dissipation is significant and activates both thermal
shutdown blocks and the part can cycle in and out of thermal
shutdown as long as the ON pin is activated (pulled LOW) and
the output short is present.
For the best performance, all traces should be as short as
possible. To be most effective, the input and output capacitors
should be placed close to the device to minimize the effects that
parasitic trace inductances may have on normal and shortcircuit operation. Using wide traces for IN, OUTs, and GND pins
helps minimize parasitic electrical effects and the case-toambient thermal impedance.
Improving Thermal Performance
Improper layout could result in higher junction temperature and
triggering the thermal shutdown protection feature. This concern
is particularly significant for the FPF2303, where both channels
operate in constant current mode in the overload conditions and
during fault condition the outputs are shorted, resulting in large
voltage drop across switches. In this case, power dissipation of
the switch (P

The following techniques improve the thermal performance of
this family of devices. These techniques are listed in order of
the significance of impact.
1.Thermal performance of the load switch can be improved
by connecting the DAP (Die Attach Pad) of MLP 3x3mm
package to the GND plane of the PCB.
2.Embedding two exposed through-hole vias into the DAP
(pin 9) provides a path for heat to transfer to the back GND
plane of the PCB. A drill size of round, 15 mils (0.4mm),
with 1-ounce copper plating is recommended to create
appropriate solder reflow. A smaller size hole prevents the
solder from penetrating into the via, resulting in device liftup. Similarly, a larger via hole consumes excessive solder
and may result in voiding of the DAP.

3.The IN, OUTs, and GND pins dissipate most of the heat
generated during a high load current condition. Figure 42
illustrates a proper layout for devices in MLP 3x3mm
packages. IN, OUTs, and GND pins are connected to
adequate copper so heat may be transferred as efficiently
as possible out of the device. The low-power FLAGB and
ON pin traces may be laid out diagonally from the device to
maximize the area available to the ground pad. Placing the
input and output capacitors as close to the device as
possible also contributes to heat dissipation, particularly
during high load currents.
The FPF230X evaluation board has components and circuitry to
demonstrate FPF2300/2/3 load switch functions and features,
accommodating both the MLP 3x3mm and SO8 packages. The
state of the each channel can be configured using J1 and J2
jumpers. In addition, both channels can be controlled by ONA
and ONB test pints. Thermal performance of the board is
improved using techniques in the layout recommendations
section. R3 and R4 resistors are used on the board to sink a
light load current when switches are activated.
