ZSPM4121
Under-Voltage Load Switch for Smart Battery Management
Brief Description
Features
The ZSPM4121 battery management load switch
can be used to protect a battery from excessive
discharge. It actively monitors the battery voltage
and disconnects the battery from the load if the
battery drops below a set voltage threshold. When
the input battery voltage reaches 500mV above the
set voltage threshold, the load switch turns on and
connects the battery to the load. The 500mV
hysteresis between the Off Mode and the On Mode
prevents intermittent operation.

The voltage threshold (VTHRESH) can be programmed
at manufacturing to a customer-selected set point in
the voltage range of 1.2V to 4.2V in 100mV increments to support a wide range of applications in consumer, medical, portable, and industrial applications.
This device has ultra-low quiescent current, which
makes it ideal for battery-powered applications.
Typical quiescent current is 100pA in the Off Mode
and 70nA in the On Mode.
The ZSPM4121 includes a slew rate control P-channel load switch, over-current protection, and an
open-drain power indicator pin (NPG). The slew-rate
controlled turn-on characteristic prevents inrush
current and voltage droop on the voltage. The overcurrent limit protects the device in case of an
overload, short-circuit, or ground fault event.
