Notes: 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 0V.

POWER STATES
OFF mode
If AUXIN is not present, then all input-to-output power switches are kept off (OFF mode).
Shutdown 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.
No Card mode
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).
Card Inserted 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).
Standby 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).
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).

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
de-asserted.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Introduction to ExpressCardTM
An ExpressCard module is an add-in card with a serial interface based on PCI Express and/or Universal Serial
Bus (USB) technologies. An ExpressCardTM comes in two form factors defined as ExpressCard|34 or
ExpressCard|54. The difference, as defined by the name, is the width of the module, 34mm or 54mm, respectively.
Host systems supporting the ExpressCardTM module can support either the ExpressCard|34 or ExpressCard|54 or
both.
ExpressCardTM Power Requirements
Regardless of which ExpressCardTM module is used, the power requirements as defined in the ExpressCardTM
Standard apply to both on an individual slot basis. The host system is required to supply 3.3V, 1.5V, and AUX to
each of the ExpressCardTM slots. However, the voltage is only applied after an ExpressCardTM is inserted into the
slot.
The ExpressCardTM connector has two pins, CPPE and CPUSB , which are used to signal the host when a card
TM
is inserted. If the ExpressCard
module itself connects the CPPE to ground, the logic low level on that signal
indicates to the host that a card supporting PCI Express has been inserted. If CPUSB is connected to ground, then
TM
module supports the USB interface. If both PCI Express and USB are supported by the
the ExpressCard
ExpressCardTM module, then both signals, CPPE and CPUSB , must be connected to ground.
In addition to the Card Present signals ( CPPE and CPUSB ), the host system determines when to apply power to
TM
the ExpressCard module based on the state of the system. The state of the system is defined by the state of the
3.3 V, 1.5V, and AUX input voltage rails. For the sake of simplicity, the 3.3V and 1.5V rails are defined as the
primary voltage rails as oppose to the auxiliary voltage rail, AUX.
ExpressCardTM Power Switch Operation
The ExpressCard power switch resides on the host, and its main function is to control when to send power to the
ExpressCardTM slot. The ExpressCardTM power switch makes decisions based on the Card Present inputs and on
the state of the host system as defined by the primary and auxiliary voltage rails.
The following conditions define the operation of the host power controller:
1. When both primary power and auxiliary power at the input of the ExpressCardTM power switch are off, then all
power to the ExpressCardTM connector is off regardless of whether a card is present.
2. When both primary power and auxiliary power at the input of the ExpressCardTM power switch are on, then
power is only applied to the ExpressCardTM after the ExpressCardTM power switch detects that a card is present.
3. When primary power (either +3.3V or +1.5V) at the input of the ExpressCardTM power switch is off and auxiliary
power at the input of the ExpressCardTM power switch is on, then the ExpressCardTM power switch behaves in the
following manner:
(a) If neither of the Card Present inputs is detected (no card inserted), then no power is applied to the
ExpressCardTM slot.
(b) If the card is inserted after the system has entered this power state, then no power is applied to the
ExpressCardTM slot.
(c) If the card is inserted prior to the removal of the primary power (either +3.3V or +1.5V or both) at the input of
the ExpressCardTM power switch, then only the primary power (both +3.3V and +1.5V) is removed and the auxiliary
power is sent to the ExpressCardTM slot.
Figure 2 through Figure 7 illustrate the timing relationships between power/logic inputs and outputs of
ExpressCardTM.
