LM3525 Single Port USB Power Switch and Over-Current Protection
March 2005
General Description
The LM3525 provides Universal Serial Bus standard power
switch and over-current protection for all host port applications. The single port device is ideal for Notebook PC and
Handheld PC applications that supply power to one port.
A 1 ms delay on fault flag output prevents erroneous overcurrent reporting caused by inrush currents during the hotplug events.
The LM3525 accepts an input voltage between 2.7V and
5.5V allowing use as a device-based inrush current limiter
for 3.3V USB peripherals, as well as Root and Self-Powered
Hubs at 5.5V. The Enable input accepts both 3.3V and 5.0V
logic thresholds.
The small size, low R
LM3525 a good choice for root hubs as well as ganged

Functional Description
The LM3525-H and LM3525-L are high side P-Channel
switches with active-high and active-low enable inputs, respectively. Fault conditions turn off and inhibit turn-on of the
output transistor and activate the open-drain error flag transistor sinking current to the ground.
INPUT AND OUTPUT
IN (Input) is the power supply connection to the control
circuitry and the source of the output MOSFET.
OUT (Output) is the drain of the output MOSFET. In a typical
application circuit, current flows through the switch from IN to
OUT towards the load.
If V
current will flow from OUT to IN since the MOSFET is
bidirectional.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
LM3525 is internally protected against excessive power dissipation. In the event of a shorted output or heavy loads that
could elevate the die temperature to above approximately
135˚C, the thermal shutdown circuit of the LM3525 will be
activated and the power switch turned off.
The switch is turned on after die temperature drops by 10˚C.
This built-in temperature hysteresis prevents undesirable
oscillation of the thermal protection circuit and allows the
device to reset itself after it is cooled down.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
UVLO prevents the MOSFET switch from turning on until
input voltage exceeds 1.9V.
UVLO shuts off the MOSFET switch and signals the fault flag
if input voltage drops below 1.8V. UVLO functions only when
device is enabled.
CURRENT LIMIT
The current limit circuit is designed to protect the system
supply, the MOSFET switches and the load from damage
caused by excessive currents. The current limit threshold is
set internally to allow a minimum of 500 mA through the
MOSFET but limit the maximum current to 1.0A typical.
is greater than VINwhen the switch is enabled,
OUT
In selecting a ferrite bead, the DC resistance of the wire used
must be kept to minimum to reduce the voltage drop.
A 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended on each port

and ground pins to prevent EMI
bus
damage to other components during the hot - detachment.
Adequate capacitance must be connected to the input of the
device to limit the input voltage drop during a hot-plug event
to less than 330 mV. For a few tens of µs, the host must
supply the inrush current to the peripheral, charging its bulk
capacitance to V
. This current is initially supplied by the
bus
input capacitor. A 33 µF 16V tantalum capacitor is recommended.
In choosing the capacitors, special attention must be paid to
the Effective Series Resistance, ESR, of the capacitors to
minimize the IR drop across the capacitor’s ESR.
SOFT START
To eliminate the upstream voltage droop caused by the high
in-rush current drawn by the output capacitors, the inrush
current is internally limited to 1.0A.
TRANSIENT OVER-CURRENT DELAY
In USB applications, it is required that output bulk capacitance is utilized to support hot-plug events. During hot-plug
events, inrush currents may also cause the flag to go active.
Since these conditions are not valid over-current faults, the
USB controller must ignore the flag during these events.
High transient current is also generated when switch is
enabled and large values of capacitance at the output have
to be rapidly charged. The inrush currents created could
exceed the short circuit current limit threshold of the device
forcing it into the current limit mode. The capacitor is
charged with the maximum available short circuit current set
by the LM3525. The duration of the inrush current depends
on the size of the output capacitance and load current. Since
this is not a valid fault condition, the LM3525 delays the
generation of the fault flag for 1 ms. If condition persists due
to other causes such as a short, a fault flag is generated
aftera1msdelay has elapsed.
The LM3525’s 1 ms delay in issuing the fault flag is adequate
for most applications. If longer delays are required, an RC
filter as shown in Figure 1 may be used.
LM3525
FAULT FLAG
The fault flag is an open-drain output capable of sinking
10 mA load current to typically 60 mV above ground.
The fault flag is active (pulled low) when any of the following
conditions are present: undervoltage, current limit, or thermal shutdown.
A 1ms delay in reporting fault condition prevents erroneous
fault flags and eliminates the need for external RC delay
network.
Application Information
FILTERING
The USB specification indicates that “no less than 120 µF
tantalum capacitors” must be used on the output of each
downstream port. This bulk capacitance provides the shortterm transient current needed during a hot plug-in. Current
surges caused by the input capacitance of the down stream
device could generate undesirable EMI signals. Ferrite
beads in series with all power and ground lines are recommended to eliminate or significantly reduce EMI.

PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
In order to meet the USB requirements for voltage drop,
droop and EMI, each component used in this circuit must be
evaluated for its contribution to the circuit performance as
shown in Figure 2. The PCB layout rules and guidelines
must be followed.
