19-2664; Rev 0; 10/02 50mA/100mA Current-Limit Switches The MAX4785–MAX4788 family of switches feature internal current limiting to prevent host devices from being damaged due to faulty load conditions. These analog switches have a low 0.7Ω on-resistance and operate from a 2.3V to 5.5V input voltage range. They are available with guaranteed 50mA and 100mA current limits, making them ideal for load-switching applications. When the switch is on and a load is connected to the port, a guaranteed blanking time of 14ms ensures that the transient voltages settle down. If after this blanking time the load current is greater than the current limit, the MAX4785 and MAX4787 enter a latch-off state where the switch is turned off and FLAG is issued to the microprocessor. The switch can be turned on again by cycling the power or the ON pin. The MAX4786 and MAX4788 have an autoretry feature where the switch turns off after the blanking time and then continuously checks to see if the overload condition is present. The switch remains on after the overload condition disappears. The MAX4785 and MAX4787 are available in a tiny space-saving 4-pin or 5-pin SC70 package. The MAX4786 and MAX4788 are available only in the 4-pin SC70 package. For higher current current-limiting switches, refer to the MAX4789–MAX4794 and MAX1693 data sheets.

MAX4785–MAX4788 50mA/100mA Current-Limit Switches REVERSE-CURRENT DETECTOR MAX4785/MAX4787 ONLY FLAG BLANKING TIME CIRCUITRY N FORWARD CURRENT DETECTOR N IN ON UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT OUT +2.0V LOGIC GND AUTORETRY MAX4785–MAX4788 Figure 1. MAX4785–MAX4788 Functional Diagram Detailed Description The MAX4785–MAX4788 are forward/reverse currentlimited switches that operate from a 2.3V to 5.5V input voltage range and guarantee a 50mA and 100mA minimum current-limit threshold for different options. The voltage drop across an internal sense resistor is compared to two reference voltages to indicate a forward or reverse current-limit fault. When the load current exceeds the preset current limit for greater than the fault-blanking time, the switch opens. The MAX4786 and MAX4788 have an autoretry function that turns on the switch again after an internal retry time expires. If the faulty load condition is still present after the blanking time, the switch turns off again and the cycle is repeated. If the faulty load condition is not present, the switch remains on. The MAX4785 and MAX4787 do not have the autoretry option and the switch remains in latch-off mode until the ON pin or the input power is cycled from high to low and then high again. The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit prevents erroneous switch operation when the input voltage goes too low during startup conditions. 6 Reverse-Current Protection The MAX4785–MAX4788 limit the reverse current (VOUT to VIN) from exceeding the maximum IREV value. The switch is shut off and FLAG is asserted (MAX4785/ MAX4787) if the reverse current-limit condition persists for more than the blanking time. This feature prevents excessive reverse currents from flowing through the device. Switch-On/Off Control Toggle ON high to enable the current-limited switches. The switches are continuously on, only if VIN exceeds the UVLO threshold (typically 2V) and there is no fault. When a forward/reverse current fault is preset or the die exceeds the thermal-shutdown temperature of +150°C, OUT is internally disconnected from IN and the supply current decreases to 8µA (latch off). The switch is now operating in one of its off states. The switch off-state also occurs when driving ON low, thus reducing the supply current (shutdown) to 0.01µA. Table 1 illustrates the ON/OFF state of the MAX4785–MAX4788 currentlimit switches. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 50mA/100mA Current-Limit Switches ON FAULT Low X OFF Shutdown High Undervoltage lockout OFF Shutdown High Thermal High Current limit SWITCH ON/OFF SUPPLY CURRENT MODE OFF immediately (tBLANK period does not apply) Latch off OFF after tBLANK period has elapsed Latch off ON during tBLANK period, OFF during tRETRY period for the MAX4786 and MAX4788; cycle repeats until fault is removed See the Autoretry section FLAG Indicator The MAX4785 and MAX4787 feature a latched fault output, FLAG. Whenever a fault is activated, it latches FLAG output low and also turns the switch off. FLAG is an open-drain output transistor and requires an external pullup resistor from FLAG to IN. During shutdown (ON is low), the pulldown on FLAG output is released in order to limit power dissipation. FLAG goes low when any of the following conditions occur: • The die temperature exceeds the thermal-shutdown temperature limit of +150°C. • The device is in current limit for more than the faultblanking period. • VIN is below UVLO threshold. Autoretry (MAX4786/MAX4788) When the forward or reverse current-limit threshold is exceeded, tBLANK timer begins counting (Figure 2). The timer resets if the overcurrent condition disappears before tBLANK has elapsed. A retry time delay, tRETRY, is started immediately after tBLANK has elapsed and during that time, the switch is latched off. At the end of tRETRY, the switch is turned on again. If the fault still exists, the cycle is repeated. If the fault has been removed, the switch stays on. The autoretry feature saves system power in the case of an overcurrent or short-circuit condition. During tBLANK, when the switch is on, the supply current is at the current limit. During tRETRY, when the switch is off, the current through the switch is zero. Instead of observing the full load current, the switch sees the equivalent load current times duty cycle or ISUPPLY = I LOAD ✕ t BLANK /(t BLANK + t RETRY ). With a typical tBLANK = 37ms and typical tRETRY = 259ms, the duty cycle is 12%, which results in an 88% power savings over the switch being on the entire time. The duty cycle is consistent across the process and devices. Latch Off (MAX4785/MAX4787) When the forward or reverse current-limit threshold is exceeded, tBLANK timer begins counting. The timer tBLANK tRETRY tBLANK tBLANK CURRENT LIMIT LOAD CURRENT SHORT CONDITION REMOVED ON SWITCH STATUS OFF Figure 2. MAX4786/MAX4788 Autoretry Fault Blanking Diagram resets if the overcurrent condition disappears before tBLANK has elapsed. The switch is shut off if the overcurrent condition continues up to the end of the blanking time. Reset the switch by either toggling ON (Figure 3a) or cycling the input voltage below UVLO, typically 2V (Figure 3b). Fault Blanking The MAX4785–MAX4788 feature 14ms (min) fault blanking. Fault blanking allows current-limit faults, including momentary short-circuit faults that occur when hot swapping a capacitive load, and also ensures that no fault is issued during power-up. When a load transient causes the device to enter current limit, an internal counter starts. If the load-transient fault persists beyond the fault-blanking timeout, the MAX4785 and MAX4787s’ FLAG asserts low. Load-transient faults less than tBLANK do not cause a FLAG output assertion. Only current-limit faults are blanked. A thermal fault and input voltage drops below the UVLO threshold cause FLAG to assert immediately and do not wait for the blanking time. Thermal Shutdown The MAX4785–MAX4788 have a thermal shutdown feature to protect the devices from overheating. The switch turns off and FLAG goes low immediately (no fault blanking) when the junction temperature exceeds +150°C. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX4785–MAX4788 Table 1. MAX4785–MAX4788 Switch Truth Table MAX4785–MAX4788 50mA/100mA Current-Limit Switches tBLANK the load capacitance is too large, then current may not have enough time to charge the capacitance and the device assumes that there is a faulty load condition. The maximum capacitive load value that can be driven from OUT is obtained by the following formula: tBLANK LOAD CURRENT CMAX < ON SWITCH STATUS IFWD _ MIN × tBLANK _ MIN VIN OFF Layout and Thermal Dissipation ON PIN VOLTAGE To optimize the switch response time to output shortcircuit conditions, it is very important to keep all traces as short as possible to reduce the effect of undesirable parasitic inductance. Place input and output capacitors as close as possible to the device (no more than 5mm). IN and OUT pins must be connected with short traces to the power bus. During normal operation, the power dissipation is small and the package temperature change is minimal. If the output is continuously shorted to ground at the maximum supply voltage, the operation of the switches with the autoretry option does not cause problems because the total power dissipated during the short is scaled by the duty cycle: FLAG PIN STATUS (a) tBLANK tBLANK LOAD CURRENT ON SWITCH STATUS IN PIN VOLTAGE OFF PMAX = UVLO FLAG PIN STATUS VIN _ MAX × IOUT _ MAX × tBLANK = 161mW tRETRY + tBLANK where VIN = 5.5V, IOUT = 240mA, tBLANK = 14ms, and tRETRY = 98ms. (b) Figure 3. MAX4785/MAX4787 Latch Off Fault Blanking The switch turns back on when the device temperature drops to approximately +15°C. Attention must be given to the MAX4785 and MAX4787 where the latch-off condition must be manually reset by toggling ON from high to low. If the latch-off time duration is not sufficiently high, it is possible for the device to reach the thermal-shutdown threshold and never be able to turn the device on until it cools down. Applications Information Input Capacitor To limit the input voltage drop during momentary output short-circuit conditions, connect a capacitor from IN to GND. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is adequate for most applications; however, higher capacitor values further reduce the voltage drop at the input and are recommended for lower voltage applications.
