MIC2505/2506 Micrel MIC2505/2506 Single 2A / Dual 1A / High-Side Switches General Description Features The MIC2505, MIC2505-1, MIC2505-2, and MIC2506 are single and dual integrated high-side power switches that consist of TTL compatible control/enable inputs, a charge pump, and protected N-channel MOSFETs. The MIC2505/6 family can be used instead of separate high-side drivers and MOSFETs in many low-voltage applications. • Low MOSFET on resistance to 2.7V 30mΩ typical at 5V (MIC2505-series) 35mΩ typical at 3.3V (MIC2505-series) 75mΩ typical at 5V (each MIC2506 output) 80mΩ typical at 3.3V (each MIC2506 output) • 2.7V to 7.5V input • 110µA typical on-state supply current • 1µA typical off-state supply current • Output can be forced higher than input (off-state) • Current limit • Thermal shutdown • 2.5V undervoltage lockout (UVLO) • Open-load detection (MIC2505BN/M and MIC2506BN/M only) • Open-drain fault flag • 5ms (slow) turn-on and fast turnoff • Logic-level control/enable input The MIC2505/6 family controls voltages ranging from 2.7V to 7.5V. The MIC2505-series can deliver at least 2A continuous current while the MIC2506 can deliver at least 1A continuous current from each output. A slow turn-on feature prevents high inrush current when switching capacitive loads. The internal control circuitry is powered from the same 2.7V to 7.5V. Within the device’s input range, outputs can be forced higher than the input voltage when disabled. Multipurpose open-drain fault flag outputs indicate overcurrent limiting, open-load detection (except MIC2505-1 and -2 versions), thermal shutdown, or undervoltage lockout for each channel. Applications Overcurrent limiting is internally fixed and requires no external components. • • • • • Open-load detection is active when the switch is off. When off, a normal load pulls the output pin low. If the load is open, an optional, external, high-value resistor pulls the output pin high, triggering the fault flag. MIC2505-1 and -2 versions are tailored to Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications and do not include open-load detection. Thermal shutdown turns off the output if the die temperature exceeds approximately 135°C. If enabled, the switch automatically restarts when the temperature falls 10°C. USB Power Distribution 3.3V and 5V power management PC Card card inrush limiting switch Hot plug-in power supplies Battery-charger circuits Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) shuts off the output if the supply drops below 2.3V typical and reenables the output when the supply exceeds 2.5V typical.

Connect both IN pins to the supply. Connect both OUT leads to the load. Functional Description The MIC2505-series and MIC2506 are high-side N-Channel switches. The MIC2505, MIC2505-1, and MIC2506 have active-high enable inputs. The MIC2505-2 has an active-low input. Fault conditions inhibit output transistor turn-on or turnoff when enabled. Thermal Shutdown Thermal shutdown shuts off the output MOSFET and signals the fault flag if the die temperature exceeds 135°C. 10°C of hysteresis prevents the switch from turning on until the die temperature drops to 125°C. Control Input CTL (control input) activates the oscillator, thermal shutdown, UVLO, 1.2V reference, and gate control circuits. If there are no fault conditions, the output MOSFET turns on when enabled. Overtemperature detection functions only when the control input is enabled (output MOSFET is on). Both MIC2506 outputs are shut off during overtemperature, and both flags will go low. Reference Undervoltage Lockout A 1.2V bandgap reference supplies a regulated voltage to the thermal shutdown and undervoltage lockout circuits. The reference is only active when CTL is enabled. UVLO (undervoltage lockout) prevents the output MOSFET from turning on until VIN (input voltage) exceeds 2.5V typical. After the switch turns on, if VIN drops below 2.3V typical, UVLO shuts off the output MOSFET and turns the fault flag on (active low) until VIN drops below 1.5V. Undervoltage detection functions only when the control input is enabled (output MOSFET is on). Oscillator/Charge Pump The oscillator produces an 80kHz square wave output which drives the charge pump. The oscillator is enabled when CTL is active. The charge pump is a voltage quintupler (5×). The charge pump capacitors are self contained. Overcurrent Limit The overcurrent limit is preset internally. The preset level prevents damage to the output MOSFET but allows a minimum current of 2A through the output MOSFET of the MIC2505-series and 1A for each output MOSFET of the MIC2506. Output current is monitored by sensing the voltage drop across the output MOSFET drain metal resistance. Gate Control The gate control circuit charges the output MOSFET gate from the charge pump output or discharges the MOSFET gate to ground as determined by CTL, thermal shutdown, or UVLO (undervoltage lockout). An optional, external capacitor may be connected to the MIC2505 GATE to lengthen the rise time. This slows the turn on of the MOSFET output switch. (See “MIC2505 Turn-On Delay” graph.) Since this pin connects directly to the MOSFET gate, use ESD precautions when contacting components connected to this pin. Leakage resistance may increase turnon times. Input and Output Overcurrent detection functions only when the control input is enabled (output MOSFET is on) and VIN is above the UVLO threshold. Open-Load Detection Open-load detection is available only on the MIC2505 and MIC2506. The open-load detection feature is not included in the MIC2505-1 or -2 versions. Open-load detection indicates the absence of an output load by activating the fault flag. Open-load detection is optional and is enabled by connecting a high-value pull-up resistor between IN and OUT. If there is no load, the circuit detects a high OUT (output) voltage (typically ≥1V) and signals the fault flag. Under normal conditions, the low resistance of a typical load pulls OUT low. Open-load detection functions only when the control input is low (output MOSFET is off). IN (input) is the supply connection to the logic circuitry and the drain of the output MOSFET. OUT (output) is the source of the output MOSFET. In a typical circuit, current flows through the switch from IN to OUT toward the load. The output MOSFET and driver circuitry are also designed to allow the MOSFET source to be externally forced to a higher voltage than the drain (VOUT > VIN) when the output switch is off and VIN > UVLO minimum. In this situation, the MIC2505/6 avoids undesirable drain to body diode reverse current flow by grounding the body when the switch is off. (The conventional method for optimum turn-on threshold has the source connected to the body. This would allow a large current to flow when Vsource > Vdrain + 0.6V.) Fault Flag FLG is an N-channel, open-drain MOSFET output. The faultflag is active (low) for one or more of the following conditions: open load (except MIC2505-1 and -2 versions), undervoltage, current limit, or thermal shutdown. The flag output MOSFET is capable of sinking a 10mA load to typically 100mV above ground. MIC2505 Series Only M9999-062110 8 June 2010 MIC2505/2506 Micrel U2 is off, this feature prevents current flow from the load (5V) backward through U2 to the 3.3V supply. (If a discrete MOSFET and driver were used, the MOSFET’s internal body diode would short the 5V load to the 3.3V supply.) Applications Information Supply Filtering A 0.1µF to 1µF bypass capacitor from IN to GND, located at the device is strongly recommended to control supply transients. Without a bypass capacitor, an output short may cause sufficient ringing on the input (from supply lead inductance) to destroy the internal control circuitry. FLG will be active (low) on any switch that is off whenever the load voltage is greater than the open load threshold (approximately 1V) except for MIC2505-1 and MIC2505-2. 2.7V to 7.5V 1N4148 (optional) MIC2505BM ON OFF 1 CTL OUT FLG IN 2 8 GND OUT 7 4 3 GATE IN CTL OUT FLG IN GND GATE OUT IN U2 MIC2505BM 8 1 7 2 6 3 5 4 0.1µF CTL OUT FLG IN GND OUT GATE IN 8 7 6 5 0.1µF 0.1µF to 1µF 5 Load 4 6 +3.3V U1 MIC2505BM 1 3 2 +5V Logic-High = 5V Output Logic-Low = 3.3V Output Input transients must not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage (VIN max = 7.5V) even for a short duration. Figure 1. Supply Bypassing Figure 2. 5V/3.3V Switch Concept The bypass capacitor may be omitted only if board design precautions are followed, such as using extremely short supply leads or power and ground planes. Control Input This circuit’s function would otherwise require a dual driver, two MOSFETs, plus two diodes (or a dual driver plus four MOSFETs). CTL must be driven logic high or logic low, or be pulled high or low for a clearly defined input. Floating the input may cause unpredictable operation. Add a diode clamp if negative spikes may occur. See Figure 2. Hot Plug-In Applications (Soft-Start) The MIC2505/6 family can be used to protect the socket-side and card-side of a supply circuit from transients caused when a capacitive load is connected to an active supply. Open-Load Detection The switch presents a high impedance when off, and slowly becomes a low impedance as it turns on. This reduces the inrush current and related voltage drop that result from charging a capacitive load. Refer to “Typical Applications” (first page). Open-load detection is available only on the MIC2505 and MIC2506. For USB power distribution applications, the open-load detection feature is not included in the MIC2505-1 or -2 versions. The optional open-load detection resistor supplies a small pull-up current to the load when the output switch is off. (A 100k resistor will draw 50µA from a 5V supply.) Normally, the load dominates, pulling OUT low. If the load is absent, the optional resistor pulls OUT high, activating the fault flag if CTL is off. When a load is switched off with CTL, capacitance on the output may cause the open-load function to pull the flag low until the capacitor is discharged below approximately 2.4V. 3.3V 2 3 4 Omit the pull-up resistor when open load detection is not required and for minimum off-state supply current. CTL OUT FLG IN GND OUT GATE IN 8 7 Capacitive Load 6 5 0.1µF Card Figure 3. Hot Plug-In Concept Power Bus Switch A gate capacitor may be added to the MIC2505 to slow the turn on time even more, reducing the inrush current. See “MIC2505 Turn-On Delay” graph. The UVLO feature insures that each time the card is removed and VIN = 0 that the gate of the output switch is discharged to zero volts. A controlled turn-on is executed each time a board is plugged in, even with multiple insertions. The MIC2505/6 family features a MOSFET reverse current flow prevention circuit. This prevents current from flowing backwards (from OUT to IN) when CTL is disabled as long as VIN is above UVLO minimum.
