DESCRIPTION
The TPS2231 and TPS2236 ExpressCard power interface switches provide the total power management solution
required by the ExpressCard specification. The TPS2231 and TPS2236 ExpressCard power interface switches
distribute 3.3 V, AUX, and 1.5 V to the ExpressCard socket. Each voltage rail is protected with integrated
current-limiting circuitry.
The TPS2231 supports systems with single-slot ExpressCard|34 or ExpressCard|54 sockets. The TPS2236
supports systems with dual-slot ExpressCard sockets.
End equipment for the TPS2231 and TPS2236 include notebook computers, desktop computers, personal digital
assistants (PDAs), and digital cameras.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

A logic low level on this input indicates that the card present supports PCI Express functions. CPPE connects to
the AUXIN input through an internal pullup. When a card is inserted, CPPE is physically connected to ground if
the card supports PCI Express functions.
CPUSB
A logic low level on this input indicates that the card present supports USB functions. CPUSB connects to the
AUXIN input through an internal pullup. When a card is inserted, CPUSB is physically connected to ground if the
card supports USB functions.
SHDN
When asserted (logic low), this input instructs the power switch to turn off all voltage outputs and the discharge
FETs are activated. SHDN has an internal pullup connected to AUXIN.
STBY
When asserted (logic low) after the card is inserted, this input places the power switch in standby mode by
turning off the 3.3-V and 1.5-V power switches and keeping the AUX switch on. If asserted prior to the card being
present, STBY places the power switch in OFF Mode by turning off the AUX, 3.3-V, and 1.5-V power switches.
STBY has an internal pullup connected to AUXIN.

DETAILED PIN DESCRIPTIONS
RCLKEN
This pin serves as both an input and an output. On power up, a discharge FET keeps this signal at a low state as
long as any of the output power rails are out of their tolerance range. Once all output power rails are within
tolerance, the switch releases RCLKEN allowing it to transition to a high state (internally pulled up to AUXIN).
The transition of RCLKEN from a low to a high state starts an internal timer for the purpose of deasserting
PERST. As an input, RCLKEN can be kept low to delay the start of the PERST internal timer.
Because RCLKEN is internally connected to a discharge FET, this pin can only be driven low and should never
be driven high as a logic input. When an external circuit drives this pin low, RCLKEN becomes an input;
otherwise, this pin is an output.
RCLKEN can be used by the host system to enable a clock driver.
PERST
On power up, this output remains asserted (logic level low) until all power rails are within tolerance. Once all
power rails are within tolerance and RCLKEN has been released (logic high), PERST is deasserted (logic high)
after a time delay as shown in the parametric table. On power down, this output is asserted whenever any of the
power rails drop below their voltage tolerance.
The PERST signal is an output from the host system and an input to the ExpressCard module. This signal is only
used by PCI Express-based modules and its function is to place the ExpressCard module in a reset state.
During power up, power down, or whenever power to the ExpressCard module is not stable or not within voltage
tolerance limits, the ExpressCard standard requires that PERST be asserted. As a result, this signal also serves
as a power-good indicator to the ExpressCard module, and the relationship between the power rails and PERST
are explicitly defined in the ExpressCard standard.
The host can also place the ExpressCard module in a reset state by asserting a system reset SYSRST. This
system reset generates a PERST to the ExpressCard module without disrupting the voltage rails. This is what is
normally called a warm reset. However, in a cold start situation, the system reset can also be used to extend the
length of time that PERST is asserted.
SLVS536J –JULY 2004–REVISED SEPTEMBER 2009..................................................................................................................................................
SYSRST
This input is driven by the host system and directly affects PERST. Asserting SYSRST (logic low) forces PERST
to assert. RCLKEN is not affected by the assertion of SYSRST. SYSRST has an internal pullup connected to
AUXIN.
OC
This pin is an open-drain output. When any of the three power switches (AUX, 3.3V, and 1.5V) is in an
overcurrent condition, OC is asserted (logic low) by an internal discharge FET with a deglitch delay. Otherwise,
the discharge FET is open, and the pin can be pulled up to a power supply through an external resistor.
(1) For input voltages, On means the respective input voltage is higher than its turnon threshold voltage; otherwise, the voltage is Off (for
AUX input,Off means the voltage is close to zero volt).
(2) For output voltages, On means the respective power switch is turned on so the input voltage is connected to the output; Off means the
power switch and its output discharge FET are both off; GND means the power switch is off but the output discharge FET is on so the
voltage on the output is pulled down to 0 V.
(3) Mode assigns each set of input conditions and respective output voltage results to a different name. These modes are referred to as
input conditions in the following Truth Table for Logic Outputs.
(4) CP = CPUSB and CPPE – equal to 1 when both CPUSB and CPPE signals are logic high, or equal to 0 when either CPUSB or CPPE is
low.

(1) RCLKEN as a logic input in this column. RCLKEN is an I/O pin and it can be driven low externally, left open, or connected to
high-impedance terminals, such as the gate of a MOSFET. It must not be driven high externally.
If AUXIN is not present, then all input-to-output power switches are kept off (OFF mode).
If AUXIN is present and SHDN is asserted (logic low), then all input-to-output power switches are kept off and the
output discharge FETs are turned on (Shutdown mode). If SHDN is asserted and then de-asserted, the state on
the outputs is restored to the state prior to SHDN assertion.
If 3.3VIN, AUXIN and 1.5VIN are present at the input of the power switch and no card is inserted, then all
input-to-output power switches are kept off and the output discharge FETs are turned on (No Card mode).
If 3.3VIN, AUXIN and 1.5VIN are present at the input of the power switch prior to a card being inserted, then all
input-to-output power switches are turned on once a card-present signal (CPUSB and/or CPPE) is detected
(Card Inserted mode).
If a card is present and all output voltages are being applied, then the STBY is asserted (logic low); the AUXOUT
voltage is provided to the card, and the 3.3VOUT and 1.5VOUT switches are turned off (Standby mode).
If a card is present and all output voltages are being applied, then the 1.5VIN, or 3.3VIN is removed from the
input of the power switch; the AUXOUT voltage is provided to the card and the 3.3VOUT and 1.5VOUT switches
are turned off (Standby mode). TPS2231-3 only: If 3.3VIN is removed, the 3.3VOUT switch is turned off; and, the
1.5VOUT switch is unaffected. If 1.5VIN is removed, the 1.5VOUT switch is turned off; and, the 3.3VOUT switch
is unaffected.
If prior to the insertion of a card, the AUXIN is available at the input of the power switch and 3.3VIN and/or
1.5VIN are not, or if STBY is asserted (logic low), then no power is made available to the card (OFF mode). If
1.5VIN and 3.3VIN are made available at the input of the power switch after the card is inserted and STBY is not
asserted, all the output voltages are made available to the card (Card Inserted mode). TPS2231-3 only: If 1.5VIN
or 3.3VIN is made available at the input of the power switch after the card is inserted and STBY is not asserted,
all switches above their individual UVLO thresholds will turn on.

DISCHARGE FETs
The discharge FETs on the outputs are activated whenever the device detects that a card is not present (No
Card mode). Activation occurs after the input-to-output power switches are turned off (break before make). The
discharge FETs de-activate if either of the card-present lines go active low, unless the SHDN pin is asserted.
The discharge FETs are also activated whenever the SHDN input is asserted and stay asserted until SHDN is
