MIC20XX Family
Fixed and Adjustable Current Limiting
Power Distribution Switches
General Description
Features
MIC20XX family of switches are current limiting, high-side
power switches, designed for general purpose power
distribution and control in digital televisions (DTV), printers,
set top boxes (STB), PCs, PDAs, and other peripheral
devices. See Functionality Table on page 6 and Pin
Configuration Drawings on page 8.
MIC20XX family’s primary functions are current limiting
and power switching. They are thermally protected and will
shutdown should their internal temperature reach unsafe
levels, protecting both the device and the load, under high
current or fault conditions
Features include fault reporting, fault blanking to eliminate
noise-induced false alarms, output slew rate limiting, under
voltage detection, automatic-on output, and enable pin
with choice of either active low or active high enable. The
FET is self-contained, with a fixed or user adjustable
current limit. The MIC20XX family is ideal for any system
where current limiting and power control are desired.
The MIC201X (3 ≤ x ≤ 9) and MIC2019A switches offer a
unique new patented feature: Kickstart™, which allows
momentary high current surges up to the secondary
current limit (ILIMIT_2nd) without sacrificing overall system
safety.
The MIC20xx family is offered, depending on the desired
features, in a space saving 5-pin SOT-23, 6-pin SOT-23,
®
and 2mm x 2mm MLF packages.

Descriptions
These pin and signal descriptions aid in the
differentiation of a pin from electrical signals and
components connected to that pin. For example, VOUT
is the switch’s output pin, while VOUT is the electrical
signal output voltage present at the VOUT pin.

of Kickstart™ operation is shown below.
Functional Description
VIN and VOUT
VIN is both the power supply connection for the internal
circuitry driving the switch and the input (Source
connection) of the power MOSFET switch. VOUT is the
Drain connection of the power MOSFET and supplies
power to the load. In a typical circuit, current flows from
VIN to VOUT toward the load. Since the switch is bidirectional when enabled, if VOUT is greater than VIN,
current will flow from VOUT to VIN.
When the switch is disabled, current will not flow to the
load, except for a small unavoidable leakage current of a
few microamps. However, should VOUT exceed VIN by
more than a diode drop (~0.6 V), while the switch is
disabled, current will flow from output to input via the
power MOSFET’s body diode.
If discharging CLOAD is required by your application,
consider using MIC20X4 or MIC20X7; these MIC20XX
family members are equipped with a discharge FET to
insure complete discharge of CLOAD.
Figure 3. Kickstart™ Operation
Figure 3 Label Key:
A. MIC201X is enabled into an excessive load
(slew rate limiting not visible at this time scale)
The initial current surge is limited by either the
overall circuit resistance and power supply
compliance, or the secondary current limit,
whichever is less.
B. RON of the power FET increases due to internal
heating (effect exaggerated for emphasis).
C. Kickstart™ period.
D. Current limiting initiated. FAULT/ goes LOW.
E. VOUT is non-zero (load is heavy, but not a dead
short where VOUT = 0V. Limiting response will be
the same for dead shorts).
F. Thermal shutdown followed by thermal cycling.
G. Excessive load released, normal load remains.
MIC201X drops out of current limiting.
H. FAULT/ delay period followed by FAULT/ going
HIGH.
Current Sensing and Limiting
MIC20XX protects the system power supply and load
from damage by continuously monitoring current through
the on-chip power MOSFET. Load current is monitored
by means of a current mirror in parallel with the power
MOSFET switch. Current limiting is invoked when the
load exceeds the set over-current threshold. When
current limiting is activated the output current is
constrained to the limit value, and remains at this level
until either the load/fault is removed, the load’s current
requirement drops below the limiting value, or the switch
goes into thermal shutdown.

Under Voltage Lock Out
Under voltage lock-out insures no anomalous operation
occurs before the device’s minimum input voltage of
UVLOTHRESHOLD which is 2V minimum, 2.25V typical, and
2.5V maximum had been achieved. Prior to reaching this
voltage, the output switch (power MOSFET) is OFF and
no circuit functions, such as FAULT/ or ENABLE, are
considered to be valid or operative.
The MIC201X is designed to allow momentary current
surges (Kickstart™) before the onset of current limiting,
which permits dynamic loads, such as small disk drives
or portable printers to draw the energy needed to
overcome inertial loads without sacrificing system safety.
In this respect, the Kickstart™ parts (MIC201X) differs
markedly from the non-Kickstart™ parts (MIC200X)
which immediately limit load current, potentially starving
the motor and causing the appliance to stall or stutter.
During this delay period, typically 128ms, a secondary
current limit is in effect. If the load demands a current in
excess the secondary limit, MIC201X acts immediately
to restrict output current to the secondary limit for the
duration of the Kickstart™ period. After this time the
MIC201X reverts to its normal current limit. An example

with other similar outputs, sharing a single pull-up
resistor. FAULT/ may be tied to a pull-up voltage source
which is higher than VIN, but no greater than 5.5V.

Soft-start Control
Large capacitive loads can create significant inrush
current surges when charged through the switch. For
this reason, the MIC20XX family of switches provides a
built-in soft-start control to limit the initial inrush currents.
Soft-start is accomplished by controlling the power
MOSFET when the ENABLE pin enables the switch.
Only parts in bold have VUVLO.
VUVLO functions as an input voltage monitor when the
switch in enabled. The VIN pin is monitored for a drop in
voltage, indicating excessive loading of the VIN supply.
When VIN is less than the VULVO threshold voltage
(VVUVLO_TH) for 32ms or more, the MIC20XX disables the
switch to protect the supply and allow VIN to recover.
After 128ms has elapsed, the MIC20X6 enables switch.
This disable and enable cycling will continue as long as
VIN deceases below the VUVLO threshold voltage
(VVUVLO_TH) which has a typical value of 250mV. The
VUVLO voltage is commonly established by a voltage
divider from VIN-to-GND.

ENABLE pin is a logic compatible input which activates
the main MOSFET switch thereby providing power to the
VOUT pin. ENABLE is either an active HIGH or active
LOW control signal. The MIC20XX can operate with
logic running from supply voltages as low as 1.5 V.
ENABLE may be driven higher than VIN, but no higher
than 5.5V and not less than –0.3V.

Only parts in bold have FAULT/ pin.
FAULT/ is an N-channel open-drain output, which is
asserted (LOW true) when switch either begins current
limiting or enters thermal shutdown.
FAULT/ asserts after a brief delay when events occur
that may be considered possible faults. This delay
insures that FAULT/ is asserted only upon valid,
enduring, over-current conditions and that transitory
event error reports are filtered out.
In MIC200X FAULT/ asserts after a brief delay period, of
32ms typical. After a fault clears, FAULT/ remains
asserted for the delay period of 32ms
MIC201X’s FAULT/ asserts at the end of the Kickstart™
period which is 128ms typical. This masks initial current
surges, such as would be seen by a motor load starting
up. If the load current remains above the current limit
threshold after the Kickstart™ has timed out, then the
FAULT/ will be asserted. After a fault clears, FAULT/
remains asserted for the delay of 128ms.
Because FAULT/ is an open-drain it must be pulled
HIGH with an external resistor and it may be wire-OR’d

Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is employed to protect the MIC20XX
family of switches from damage should the die
temperature exceed safe operating levels. Thermal
shutdown shuts off the output MOSFET and asserts the
FAULT/ output if the die temperature reaches 145°C.
The switch will automatically resume operation when the
die temperature cools down to 135°C. If resumed
operation results in reheating of the die, another
shutdown cycle will occur and the switch will continue
cycling between ON and OFF states until the overcurrent
condition has been resolved.
Depending on PCB layout, package type, ambient
temperature, etc., hundreds of milliseconds may elapse
from the incidence of a fault to the output MOSFET
being shut off. This delay is due to thermal time
constants within the system itself. In no event will the
device be damaged due to thermal overload because die
temperature is monitored continuously by on-chip
circuitry.

because of small differences between individual ICs

ILIMIT vs. IOUT Measured
The MIC20XX’s current limiting circuitry, during current
limiting, is designed to act as a constant current source
to the load. As the load tries to pull more than the
allotted current, VOUT drops and the input to output
voltage differential increases. When VIN - VOUT exceeds
1V, IOUT drops below ILIMIT to reduce the drain of fault
current on the system’s power supply and to limit internal
heating of the switch.
When measuring IOUT it is important to bear this voltage
dependence in mind, otherwise the measurement data
may appear to indicate a problem when none really
exists. This voltage dependence is illustrated in Figures
4 and 5.
In Figure 4, output current is measured as VOUT is pulled
below VIN, with the test terminating when VOUT is 1V
below VIN. Observe that once ILIMIT is reached IOUT
remains constant throughout the remainder of the test. In

When VIN - VOUT > 1V, switch’s current limiting circuitry
responds by decreasing IOUT, as can be seen in Figure 5.
In this demonstration, VOUT is being controlled and IOUT is
the measured quantity. In real life applications VOUT is
determined in accordance with Ohm’s law by the load
and the limiting current.

(Not available in 5-pin SOT-23 packages).
The CSLEW pin is provided to increase control of the
output voltage ramp at turn-on. This input allows
designers the option of decreasing the output’s slew rate
(slowing the voltage rise) by adding an external
capacitance between the CSLEW and VIN pins. This
capacitance slows the rate at which the pass FET gate
voltage increases and thus, slows both the response to
an Enable command as well as VOUT’s ascent to its final
value.
Figure 8 illustrates effect of CSLEW on turn-on delay and
output rise time.
Figure 5. IOUT in Current Limiting for VIN - VOUT > 1V
This folding back of ILIMIT can be generalized by plotting
ILIMIT as a function of VOUT, as shown below in Figures 6
and 7. The slope of VOUT between IOUT = 0V and IOUT =
ILIMIT (where ILIMIT = 1A) is determined by RON of the
switch and ILIMIT.

programmed current limit. When the weaker, standby
supply is in operation, the MIC20X6 monitors VIN and will
shut off its output should VIN dip below a predetermined
value. This predetermined voltage is user programmable
and set by the selection of the resistor divider driving the
VUVLO pin.
To prevent false triggering of the VUVLO feature, the
MIC20X6 includes a delay timer to blank out momentary
excursions below the VUVLO trip point. If VIN stays
below the VUVLO trip point for longer than 32ms
(typical), then the load is disengaged and the MIC20X6
will wait 128ms before reapplying power to the load. If
VIN remains below the VUVLO trip point, then the load
will be powered for the 32ms blanking period and then
again disengaged. This is illustrated in the scope plot
below. If VIN remains above the VUVLO trip point
MIC20X6 resumes normal operation.

CSLEW’s effect on ILIMIT
An unavoidable consequence of adding CSLEW
capacitance is a reduction in the MIC20X5 – 20X8’s
ability to quickly limit current transients or surges. A
sufficiently large capacitance can prevent both the
primary and secondary current limits from acting in time
to prevent damage to the MIC20X5 – 20X8 or the
system from a short circuit fault. For this reason, the
upper limit on the value of CSLEW is 4nF.

Only parts in bold have VUVLO pin and functionality.
Power conscious systems, such as those implementing
ACPI, will remain active even in their low power states
and may require the support of external devices through
both phases of operation. Under these conditions, the
current allowed these external devices may vary
according to the system’s operating state and as such
require dual current limits on their peripheral ports. The
MIC20X6 is designed for systems demanding two
primary current limiting levels but without the use of a
control signal to select between current limits.
To better understand how the MIC20X6 provides this,
imagine a system whose main power supply supports
heavy loads during normal operation, but in sleep mode
is reduced to only few hundred milliamps of output
current. In addition, this system has several USB ports
which must remain active during sleep. During normal
operation, each port can support a 500mA peripheral,
but in sleep mode their combined output current is
limited to what the power supply can deliver minus
whatever the system itself is drawing.
If a peripheral device is plugged in which demands more
current than is available, the system power supply will
sag, or crash. The MIC20X6 prevents this by monitoring
both the load current and VIN. During normal operation,
when the power supply can source plenty of current, the
MIC20X6 will support any load up to its factory

Figure 9. VUVLO Operation
VUVLO and Kickstart™ operate independently in the
MIC2016. If the high current surge allowed by
Kickstart™ causes VIN to dip below the VUVLO trip point
for more than 32ms, VUVLO will disengage the load
even though the Kickstart™ timer has not timed out.

Calculating VUVLO Resistor Divider Values
The VUVLO feature is designed to keep the internal
switch off until the voltage on the VUVLO pin is greater
than 0.25V. A resistor divider network connected to the
VUVLO and VIN pins is used to set the input trip voltage
VTRIP, see Figure 10. The value of R2 is chosen to
minimize the load on the input supply IDIV and the value
of R1 sets the trip voltage VTRIP.

limit (ILIMIT_2nd) to the load for 128ms and then normal
(primary) current limiting goes into action.
During Kickstart™ a secondary current limiting circuit is
monitoring output current to prevent damage to the
switch, as a hard short combined with a robust power
supply can result in currents of many tens of amperes.
This secondary current limit is nominally set at 4A and
reacts immediately and independently of the Kickstart™
period. Once the Kickstart™ timer has finished its count
the primary current limiting circuit takes over and holds
IOUT to its programmed limit for as long as the excessive
load persists.
Once the switch drops out of current limiting the
Kickstart™ timer initiates a lock-out period of 128ms
such that no further bursts of current above the primary
current limit, will be allowed until the lock-out period has
expired.
Kickstart™ may be over-ridden by the thermal protection
circuit and if sufficient internal heating occurs,
Kickstart™ will be terminated and IOUT Æ 0A. Upon
cooling, if the load is still present IOUT Æ ILIMIT, not
ILIMIT_2nd.
The value of R2 is calculated using:
R2 =
VVUVLO
IDIV
The vale of R1 is calculated using:
⎛ VTRIP
R1 = R2 × ⎜⎜
⎝ VVUVLO
⎞
− 1⎟⎟
⎠
Where for both equations:
VVUVLO = 0.25V
When working with large value resistors, a small amount
of leakage current from the VUVLO terminal can cause
voltage offsets that degrade system accuracy.
Therefore, the maximum recommended resistor value
for R2 is 100kΩ.
Using the divider loading current IDIV of 100uA, the value
of R2 can be estimated by:
R2 =
0.25 V
= 2.5kΩ
100µA
Now the value of R1 can be calculated by:
⎛ 4.75 V
⎞
− 1⎟ = 45k
R1 = 2.5kΩ × ⎜
⎝ 0.25 V
⎠
Where:
VTRIP = 4.75V (for a 5V supply)
VVUVLO = 0.25V
The VUVLO comparator uses no Hysteresis. This is
because the VUVLO blanking timer prevents any
chattering that might otherwise occur if VIN varies about
the trigger point. The timer is reset by upward crossings
of the trip point such that VIN must remain below the trip
point for the full 32ms period for load disengagement to
occur.
In selecting a VTRIP voltage, the designer is cautioned to
not make this value less than 2.5V. A minimum of 2.5V
is required for the MIC20X6’s internal circuitry to operate
properly. VUVLO trip points below 2.5V will result in
erratic or unpredictable operation.

Only parts in bold have Kickstart™.
(Not available in 5-pin SOT-23 packages).
Automatic discharge is a valuable feature when it is
desirable to quickly remove charge from the VOUT pin.
This allows for a quicker power-down of the load. This
also prevents any charge from being presented to a
device being connected to the VOUT pin, for example,
USB, 1394, PCMCIA, and CableCARD™.
Automatic discharge is performed by a shunt MOSFET
from VOUT pin to GND. When the switch is disabled, a
break before make action is performed turning off the
main power MOSFET and then enabling the shunt
Kickstart™ allows brief current surges to pass to the
load before the onset of normal current limiting, which
permits dynamic loads to draw bursts of energy without
sacrificing system safety.
Functionally, Kickstart™ is a forced override of the
normal current limiting function provided by the switch.
The Kickstart™ period is governed by an internal timer
which allows current to pass up to the secondary current

internal resistances is typically 126Ω.
assuming a constant case temperature of 85°C. The
plots also assume a worst case RON of 140mΩ at a die
temperature of 135°C. Under these conditions it is clear
that an SOT-23 packaged device will be on the verge of
thermal shutdown, typically 140°C die temperature,
when operating at a load current of 1.25A. For this
reason we recommend using MLF® packaged switches
for any design intending to supply continuous currents of
1A or more.
Supply Filtering
A minimum 1μF bypass capacitor positioned close to the
VIN and GND pins of the switch is both good design
practice and required for proper operation of the switch.
This will control supply transients and ringing. Without a
bypass capacitor, large current surges or a short may
cause sufficient ringing on VIN (from supply lead
inductance) to cause erratic operation of the switch’s
control circuitry. For best performance good quality, low
ESR capacitors are recommended, preferably ceramic.
When bypassing with capacitors of 10μF and up, it is
good practice to place a smaller value capacitor in
parallel with the larger to handle the high frequency
components of any line transients. Values in the range of
0.01μF to 0.1μF are recommended. Again, good quality,
low ESR capacitors should be chosen.

Power Dissipation

To relate this to junction temperature, the following
equation can be used:
TJ = PD × R θ( J− A ) + TA
Where: TJ = junction temperature,
TA = ambient temperature
Rθ(J-A) is the thermal resistance of the package
In normal operation the switch’s RON is low enough that
no significant I2R heating occurs. Device heating is most
often caused by a short circuit, or very heavy load, when
a significant portion of the input supply voltage appears
across the switch’s power MOSFET. Under these
conditions the heat generated will exceed the package
and PCB’s ability to cool the device and thermal limiting
will be invoked.
In Figure 12 die temperature is plotted against IOUT
