The TPS2046 and TPS2056 dual power-distribution switches are intended for applications where heavy
capacitive loads and short circuits are likely. These devices incorporate in single packages two 135-mΩ
N-channel MOSFET high-side power switches for power-distribution systems that require multiple power
switches. Each switch is controlled by a logic enable compatible with 5-V and 3-V logic. Gate drive is provided
by an internal charge pump that controls the power-switch rise times and fall times to minimize current surges
during switching. The charge pump requires no external components and allows operation from supplies as low
as 2.7 V.

When the output load exceeds the current-limit threshold or a short is present, the TPS2046 and TPS2056 limit
the output current to a safe level by switching into a constant-current mode, pulling the overcurrent (OCx
output low. When continuous heavy overloads and short circuits increase the power dissipation in the switch
causing the junction temperature to rise, a thermal protection circuit shuts off the switch in overcurrent to prevent
damage. Recovery from a thermal shutdown is automatic once the device has cooled sufficiently. Internal
circuitry ensures the switch remains off until valid input voltage is present.
The TPS2046 and TPS2056 are designed to limit at0.44-A load. These power distribution switches, available
in 8-pin small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) and 8-pin plastic dual-in-line packages (PDIP), operate over an
ambient temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.

DUAL CURRENT-LIMITED POWER-DISTRIBUTION SWITCHES
SLVS183 – APRIL 1999
The power switch is an N-channel MOSFET with a maximum on-state resistance of 135 mΩ (V
Configured as a high-side switch, the power switch prevents current flow from OUTx to IN and IN to OUTx when
disabled. The power switch can supply a minimum of 250 mA per switch.
charge pump
An internal charge pump supplies power to the driver circuit and provides the necessary voltage to pull the gate
of the MOSFET above the source. The charge pump operates from input voltages as low as 2.7 V and requires
very little supply current.
driver
The driver controls the gate voltage of the power switch. T o limit large current surges and reduce the associated
electromagnetic interference (EMI) produced, the driver incorporates circuitry that controls the rise times and
fall times of the output voltage. The rise and fall times are typically in the 2-ms to 4-ms range.
enable (ENx or ENx)
The logic enable disables the power switch and the bias for the charge pump, driver, and other circuitry to reduce
the supply current to less than 10 µA when a logic high is present on ENx (TPS2046) or a logic low is present
on ENx (TPS2056). A logic zero input on ENx or logic high on ENx restores bias to the drive and control circuits
and turns the power on. The enable input is compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic levels.

encountered. The output will remain asserted until the overcurrent or overtemperature condition is removed.
current sense
open-drain output is asserted (active low) when an overcurrent or overtemperature condition is
I(IN)
= 5 V).
A sense FET monitors the current supplied to the load. The sense FET measures current more efficiently than
conventional resistance methods. When an overload or short circuit is encountered, the current-sense circuitry
sends a control signal to the driver. The driver in turn reduces the gate voltage and drives the power FET into
its saturation region, which switches the output into a constant current mode and holds the current constant
while varying the voltage on the load.
thermal sense
The TPS2046 and TPS2056 implement a dual-threshold thermal trip to allow fully independent operation of the
power distribution switches. In an overcurrent or short-circuit condition the junction temperature rises. When
the die temperature rises to approximately 140°C, the internal thermal sense circuitry checks to determine which
power switch is in an overcurrent condition and turns off that switch, thus isolating the fault without interrupting
operation of the adjacent power switches. Hysteresis is built into the thermal sense, and after the device has
cooled approximately 20 degrees, the switch turns back on. The switch continues to cycle off and on until the
fault is removed. The (OCx

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
A 0.01-µF to 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor between IN and GND, close to the device, is recommended.
Placing a high-value electrolytic capacitor on the output pin(s) is recommended when the output load is heavy .
This precaution reduces power-supply transients that may cause ringing on the input. Additionally , bypassing
the output with a 0.01-µF to 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor improves the immunity of the device to short-circuit
transients.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
overcurrent
A sense FET is employed to check for overcurrent conditions. Unlike current-sense resistors, sense FETs do
not increase the series resistance of the current path. When an overcurrent condition is detected, the device
maintains a constant output current and reduces the output voltage accordingly. Complete shutdown occurs
only if the fault is present long enough to activate thermal limiting.
Three possible overload conditions can occur. In the first condition, the output has been shorted before the
device is enabled or before V
and immediately switch into a constant-current output.
In the second condition, the short occurs while the device is enabled. At the instant the short occurs, very high
currents may flow for a short time before the current-limit circuit can react. After the current-limit circuit has
tripped (reached the overcurrent trip threshhold) the device switches into constant-current mode.
In the third condition, the load has been gradually increased beyond the recommended operating current. The
current is permitted to rise until the current-limit threshold is reached or until the thermal limit of the device is
exceeded (see Figure 7). The TPS2046 and TPS2056 are capable of delivering current up to the current-limit
threshold without damaging the device. Once the threshold has been reached, the device switches into its
constant-current mode.

OCx response
The OCx open-drain output is asserted (active low) when an overcurrent or overtemperature condition is
encountered. The output will remain asserted until the overcurrent or overtemperature condition is removed.
Connecting a heavy capacitive load to an enabled device can cause momentary false overcurrent reporting from
the inrush current flowing through the device, charging the downstream capacitor. An RC filter (see Figure 30)
can be connected to the OCx
extremely high capacitive loads. Using low-ESR electrolytic capacitors on the output lowers the inrush current
flow through the device during hot-plug events by providing a low impedance energy source, thereby reducing
erroneous overcurrent reporting.

The low on-resistance on the n-channel MOSFET allows small surface-mount packages, such as SOIC, to pass
large currents. The thermal resistances of these packages are high compared to that of power packages; it is
good design practice to check power dissipation and junction temperature. The first step is to find r
input voltage and operating temperature. As an initial estimate, use the highest operating ambient temperature

at the
thermal protection
Thermal protection prevents damage to the IC when heavy-overload or short-circuit faults are present for
extended periods of time. The faults force the TPS2046 and TPS2056 into constant current mode, which causes
the voltage across the high-side switch to increase; under short-circuit conditions, the voltage across the switch
is equal to the input voltage. The increased dissipation causes the junction temperature to rise to high levels.
The protection circuit senses the junction temperature of the switch and shuts it off. Hysteresis is built into the
thermal sense circuit, and after the device has cooled approximately 20 degrees, the switch turns back on. The
switch continues to cycle in this manner until the load fault or input power is removed.
The TPS2046 and TPS2056 implement a dual thermal trip to allow fully independent operation of the power
distribution switches. In an overcurrent or short-circuit condition the junction temperature will rise. Once the die
temperature rises to approximately 140°C, the internal thermal sense circuitry checks which power switch is
in an overcurrent condition and turns that power switch off, thus isolating the fault without interrupting operation
of the adjacent power switch. Should the die temperature exceed the first thermal trip point of 140°C and reach
160°C, both switches turn off. The OC
overcurrent occurs.
open-drain output is asserted (active low) when overtemperature or
undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
An undervoltage lockout ensures that the power switch is in the off state at power up. Whenever the input voltage
falls below approximately 2 V, the power switch will be quickly turned off. This facilitates the design of
hot-insertion systems where it is not possible to turn off the power switch before input power is removed. The
UVLO will also keep the switch from being turned on until the power supply has reached at least 2 V, even if
the switch is enabled. Upon reinsertion, the power switch will be turned on with a controlled rise time to reduce
EMI and voltage overshoots.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface is a 12-Mb/s, or 1.5-Mb/s, multiplexed serial bus designed for
low-to-medium bandwidth PC peripherals (e.g., keyboards, printers, scanners, and mice). The four-wire USB
interface is conceived for dynamic attach-detach (hot plug-unplug) of peripherals. Two lines are provided for
differential data, and two lines are provided for 5-V power distribution.
USB data is a 3.3-V level signal, but power is distributed at 5 V to allow for voltage drops in cases where power
is distributed through more than one hub across long cables. Each function must provide its own regulated 3.3 V
from the 5-V input or its own internal power supply.
The USB specification defines the following five classes of devices, each differentiated by power-consumption
requirements:
D
Hosts/self-powered hubs (SPH)
D
Bus-powered hubs (BPH)
D
Low-power, bus-powered functions
D
High-power, bus-powered functions
D
Self-powered functions
Self-powered and bus-powered hubs distribute data and power to downstream functions. The TPS2046 and
TPS2056 can provide power-distribution solutions for many of these classes of devices.
bus-powered hubs
Bus-powered hubs obtain all power from upstream ports and often contain an embedded function. The hubs
are required to power up with less than one unit load. The BPH usually has one embedded function, and power
is always available to the controller of the hub. If the embedded function and hub require more than 100 mA
on power up, the power to the embedded function may need to be kept off until enumeration is completed. This
can be accomplished by removing power or by shutting off the clock to the embedded function. Power switching
the embedded function is not necessary if the aggregate power draw for the function and controller is less than
one unit load. The total current drawn by the bus-powered device is the sum of the current to the controller, the
embedded function, and the downstream ports, and it is limited to 500 mA from an upstream port.
low-power bus-powered functions and high-power bus-powered functions
Both low-power and high-power bus-powered functions obtain all power from upstream ports; low-power
functions always draw less than 100 mA, and high-power functions must draw less than 100 mA at power up
and can draw up to 500 mA after enumeration. If the load of the function is more than the parallel combination
of 44 Ω and 10 µF at power up, the device must implement inrush current limiting (see Figure 31).
USB can be implemented in several ways, and, regardless of the type of USB device being developed, several
power distribution features must be implemented.
D
Bus-Powered Hubs must:
–Enable/disable power to downstream ports
–Power up at <100 mA
–Limit inrush current (<44 Ω and 10 µF)
D
Functions must:
–Limit inrush currents
–Power up at <100 mA
The feature set of the TPS2046 and TPS2056 allows them to meet each of these requirements. The integrated
current-limiting and overcurrent reporting is required by hosts and self-powered hubs. The logic-level enable
and controlled rise times meet the need of both input and output ports on bus-power hubs, as well as the input
ports for bus-power functions (see Figure 32).
In many applications it may be necessary to remove modules or pc boards while the main unit is still operating.
These are considered hot-plug applications. Such implementations require the control of current surges seen
by the main power supply and the card being inserted. The most effective way to control these surges is to limit
and slowly ramp the current and voltage being applied to the card, similar to the way in which a power supply
normally turns on. Due to the controlled rise times and fall times of the TPS2046 and TPS2056, these devices
can be used to provide a softer start-up to devices being hot-plugged into a powered system. The UVLO feature
of the TPS2046 and TPS2056 also ensures the switch will be off after the card has been removed, and the switch
will be off during the next insertion. The UVLO feature guarantees a soft start with a controlled rise time for every
insertion of the card or module.

By placing the TPS2046 and TPS2056 between the VCC input and the rest of the circuitry , the input power will
reach these devices first after insertion. The typical rise time of the switch is approximately 2.5 ms, providng
a slow voltage ramp at the output of the device. This implementaion controls system surge currents and provides
a hot-plugging mechanism for any device.
