General Description
The MAX1922 current-limited 70mΩ switch with built-in
fault blanking provides an accurate, preset 1.4A to 2.1A
current limit, making it ideal for dual USB applications.
Its low quiescent supply current (16µA) and standby
current (1µA) conserve battery power in portable applications. The MAX1922 operates with inputs from 2.7V
to 5.5V, making it ideal for both 3V and 5V systems.
An overcurrent signal (OC) notifies the microprocessor
that the internal current limit has been reached. A 10ms
overcurrent-blanking feature allows momentary faults
(such as those caused when hot-swapping into a
capacitive load) to be ignored, thus preventing false
alarms to the host system. This blanking also prevents
an OC signal from being issued when the device is
powering up.
The MAX1922 has several safety features to ensure that
the USB port is protected. Built-in thermal-overload protection limits power dissipation and junction temperature. The device also has accurate internal currentlimiting circuitry to protect the input supply against
overload.
The MAX1922 is offered in a space-saving 8-pin SO
package and a 10-pin TDFN package and operates over
the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

MAX1922
Detailed Description
The MAX1922 p-channel MOSFET power switch limits
output current to 1.4A min and 2.1A max. When the output current increases beyond the current limit (I
LIMIT
),
the current also increases through the replica switch
(I
OUT
/ 13000). The current-limit error amplifier compares the voltage to the internal 1.24V reference and
regulates the current back to the I
LIMIT
(Figure 1).
These switches are not bidirectional; therefore, the
input voltage must be higher than the output voltage.
Continuous Short-Circuit Protection
The MAX1922 is a short-circuit-protected switch. In the
event of an output short-circuit condition, the current
through the switch is foldback-current-limited to 1A
continuous.
Thermal Shutdown
The MAX1922 has a thermal shutdown feature. The
switch turns off and the OC output goes low immediately (no overcurrent blanking) when the junction temperature exceeds +165°C. When the MAX1922 cools 20°C,
the switch turns back on. If the fault short-circuit condition is not removed, the switch cycles on and off, resulting in a pulsed output.
OC
Indicator
The MAX1922 provides an overcurrent output (OC). A
100kΩ pullup resistor from OC to IN provides a logic
control signal. This open-drain output goes low when
any of the following conditions occur:
• The input voltage is below the 2.4V undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) threshold.
• The die temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown
temperature limit of +165°C.
• The device is in current limit for greater than 10ms.
OC
Blanking
The MAX1922 features 10ms overcurrent blanking.
Blanking allows brief current-limit faults, including
momentary short-circuit faults that occur when hotswapping a capacitive load, and ensures that no OC is
issued during power-up. When a load transient causes
the device to enter current limit, an internal counter
starts. If the load fault persists beyond the 10ms overcurrent blanking timeout, the OC output asserts low.
Ensure that the MAX1922 input is adequately bypassed
to prevent input glitches from triggering spurious OC

outputs. Input voltage glitches less than 150mV do not
cause a spurious OC output. Load-transient faults less
than 10ms (typ) will not cause an OC output assertion.
Only current-limit faults are blanked. Die overtemperature faults and input voltage droops below the UVLO
threshold will cause an immediate OC output.
Applications Information
Input Capacitor
To limit the input voltage drop during momentary output
short-circuit conditions, connect a capacitor from IN to
GND. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is adequate for most
applications; however, higher capacitor values further
reduce the voltage drop at the input (Figure 2).
Output Capacitor
Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from OUT to GND. This
capacitor helps to prevent inductive parasitics from
pulling OUT negative during turn-off.
Layout and Thermal Dissipation
Important: Optimize the switch response time to output
short-circuit conditions by keeping all traces as short
as possible to reduce the effect of undesirable parasitic
inductance. Place input and output capacitors as close
as possible to the device (no more than 5mm away). All
IN and OUT pins must be connected with short traces
to the power bus. Wide power-bus planes provide
superior heat dissipation through the MAX1922’s IN
and OUT pins. Under normal operating conditions, the
package can dissipate and channel heat away.
Calculate the maximum power dissipation as follows:
P = (I
LIMIT
)
2
R
ON
where I
LIMIT
is the preset current limit (2.1A max) and
RONis the on-resistance of the switch (125mΩ max).
When the output is short circuited, foldback-current limiting activates and the voltage drop across the switch
equals the input supply voltage. The power dissipated
across the switch increases, as does the die temperature. If the fault condition is not removed, the thermaloverload protection circuitry activates (see
Thermal
Shutdown
section). Wide power-bus planes connected
to IN and OUT and a ground plane in contact with the
device help dissipate additional heat.
Driving Inductive Loads
A wide variety of devices (mice, keyboards, cameras,
and printers) can load the USB port. These devices
commonly connect to the port with cables, which can
add an inductive component to the load. This inductance causes the output voltage at the USB port to ring
during a load step. The MAX1922 is capable of driving
inductive loads, but avoid exceeding the device’s
absolute maximum ratings. Usually the load inductance
is relatively small, and the MAX1922 input includes a
substantial bulk capacitance from an upstream regulator as well as local bypass capacitors, limiting overshoot. If severe ringing occurs due to large load
inductance, clamp the MAX1922 output below 6V and
above -0.3V.
