General Description
Features
The RT9702 and RT9702A are cost-effective, low voltage,
single N-Channel MOSFET high-side power switches,
optimized for self-powered and bus- powered Universal
Serial Bus (USB) applications. The RT9702/A equipped
with a charge pump circuitry to drive the internal MOSFET
switch; the switch's low RDS(ON), 80mΩ, meets USB
z
voltage drop requirements; and a flag output is available
to indicate fault conditions to the local USB controller.
z
Additional features include soft-start to limit inrush current
during plug-in, thermal shutdown to prevent catastrophic
switch failure from high current loads, under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) to ensure that the device remains off
unless there is a valid input voltage present, fault current
is limited to typically 800mA for RT9702 in single port and
1.5A for RT9702A in dual ports in accordance with the
USB power requirements, lower quiescent current as 25μA
making this device ideal for portable battery-operated
equipment.

RT9702/A
Applications Information
The RT9702 and RT9702A are single N-Channel MOSFET
high-side power switches with active-high enable input,
optimized for self-powered and bus-powered Universal
Serial Bus (USB) applications. The RT9702/A equipped
with a charge pump circuitry to drive the internal NMOS
switch; the switch's low RDS(ON), 80mΩ, meets USB
voltage drop requirements; and a flag output is available
to indicate fault conditions to the local USB controller.
Input and Output
VIN (input) is the power source connection to the internal
circuitry and the drain of the MOSFET. VOUT (output) is
the source of the MOSFET. In a typical application, current
flows through the switch from VIN to VOUT toward the load.
If VOUT is greater than VIN, current will flow from VOUT to
VIN since the MOSFET is bidirectional when on.
Unlike a normal MOSFET, there is no a parasitic body
diode between drain and source of the MOSFET, the
RT9702/A prevents reverse current flow if VOUT being
externally forced to a higher voltage than VIN when the
output disabled (VEN < 0.8V).
D
S
S
D
Soft Start for Hot Plug-In Applications
In order to eliminate the upstream voltage droop caused
by the large inrush current during hot-plug events, the
“soft-start” feature effectively isolates the power source
from extremely large capacitive loads, satisfying the USB
voltage droop requirements.
Fault Flag
The RT9702/A provides a FLG signal pin which is an NChannel open drain MOSFET output. This open drain
output goes low when VOUT < VIN – 1V, current limit or
the die temperature exceeds 130°C approximately. The
FLG output is capable of sinking a 10mA load to typically
200mV above ground. The FLG pin requires a pull-up
resistor, this resistor should be large in value to reduce
energy drain. A 100kΩ pull-up resistor works well for most
applications. In the case of an over-current condition, FLG
will be asserted only after the flag response delay time,
tD, has elapsed. This ensures that FLG is asserted only
upon valid over-current conditions and that erroneous error
reporting is eliminated.
For example, false over-current conditions may occur
during hot-plug events when extremely large capacitive
loads are connected and causes a high transient inrush
current that exceeds the current limit threshold. The FLG
response delay time tD is typically 10ms.
Under-Voltage Lockout
G
G
Normal MOSFET
RT9702/A
Chip Enable Input
The switch will be disabled when the EN pin is in a logic
low condition. During this condition, the internal circuitry
and MOSFET are turned off, reducing the supply current
to 0.1μA typical. The maximum guaranteed voltage for a
logic low at the EN pin is 0.8V. A minimum guaranteed
voltage of 2V at the EN pin will turn the RT9702/A back
on. Floating the input may cause unpredictable operation.
EN should not be allowed to go negative with respect to
GND. The EN pin may be directly tied to VIN to keep the
part on.
DS9702/A-15 April 2011
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the MOSFET
switch from turning on until input voltage exceeds
approximately 1.7V. If input voltage drops below
approximately 1.3V, UVLO turns off the MOSFET switch,
FLG will be asserted accordingly. Under-voltage detection
functions only when the switch is enabled.
Current Limiting and Short-Circuit Protection
The current limit circuitry prevents damage to the MOSFET
switch and the hub downstream port but can deliver load
current up to the current limit threshold of typically 800mA
through the switch of RT9702 and 1.5A for RT9702A
respectively. When a heavy load or short circuit is applied
to an enabled switch, a large transient current may flow

RT9702/A
until the current limit circuitry responds. Once this current
limit threshold is exceeded the device enters constant
current mode until the thermal shutdown occurs or the
fault is removed.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown is employed to protect the device from
damage if the die temperature exceeds approxi- mately
130°C. If enabled, the switch automatically restarts when
the die temperature falls 20°C. The output and FLG
signal will continue to cycle on and off until the device is
disabled or the fault is removed.
Power Dissipation
The device s junction temperature depends on several
factors such as the load, PCB layout, ambient temperature
and package type. The output pin of RT9702/A can deliver
a current of up to 500mA, and 1.1A respectively over the
full operating junction temperature range. However, the
maximum output current must be derated at higher
ambient temperature to ensure the junction temperature
does not exceed 125°C. With all possible conditions, the
junction temperature must be within the range specified
under operating conditions. Power dissipation can be
calculated based on the output current and the RDS(ON) of
switch as below.
PD = RDS(ON) x
IOUT2
Although the devices are rated for 500mA and 1.1A of
output current, but the application may limit the amount
of output current based on the total power dissipation and
the ambient temperature. The final operating junction
temperature for any set of conditions can be estimated
by the following thermal equation:
PD (MAX) = (TJ (MAX) − TA) / θJA
Where TJ (MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of
the die (125°C) and T A is the maximum ambient
temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance
(θ JA ) for SOT-23-5 and TSOT-23-5 package at
recommended minimum footprint is 250°C/W (θJA is layout
dependent).

Universal Serial Bus (USB) & Power Distribution
The goal of USB is to be enabled device from different
vendors to interoperate in an open architecture. USB
features include ease of use for the end user, a wide range
of workloads and applications, robustness, synergy with
the PC industry, and low-cost implement- ation. Benefits
include self-identifying peripherals, dynamically attachable
and reconfigurable peripherals, multiple connections
(support for concurrent operation of many devices), support
for as many as 127 physical devices, and compatibility
with PC Plug-and-Play architecture.
The Universal Serial Bus connects USB devices with a
USB host: each USB system has one USB host. USB
devices are classified either as hubs, which provide
additional attachment points to the USB, or as functions,
which provide capabilities to the system (for example, a
digital joystick). Hub devices are then classified as either
Bus-Power Hubs or Self-Powered Hubs.
A Bus-Powered Hub draws all of the power to any internal
functions and downstream ports from the USB connector
power pins. The hub may draw up to 500mA from the
upstream device. External ports in a Bus-Powered Hub
can supply up to 100mA per port, with a maximum of four
external ports.
Self-Powered Hub power for the internal functions and
downstream ports does not come from the USB, although
the USB interface may draw up to 100mA from its
upstream connect, to allow the interface to function when
the remainder of the hub is powered down. The hub must
be able to supply up to 500mA on all of its external
downstream ports. Please refer to Universal Serial
Specification Revision 2.0 for more details on designing
compliant USB hub and host systems.
Over current protection devices such as fuses and PTC
resistors (also called polyfuse or polyswitch) have slow
trip times, high on-resistance, and lack the necessary
circuitry for USB-required fault reporting.
The faster trip time of the RT9702/A power distribution
allow designers to design hubs that can operate through
faults. The RT9702/A have low on-resistance and internal
fault-reporting circuitry that help the designer to meet
voltage regulation and fault notification requirements.
DS9702/A-15 April 2011
RT9702/A
Because the devices are also power switches, the designer
of self-powered hubs has the flexibility to turn off power to
output ports. Unlike a normal MOSFET, the devices have
controlled rise and fall times to provide the needed inrush
current limiting required for the bus-powered hub power
switch.
Supply Filter/Bypass Capacitor
Voltage Drop
The USB specification states a minimum port-output
voltage in two locations on the bus, 4.75V out of a SelfPowered Hub port and 4.40V out of a Bus-Powered Hub
port. As with the Self-Powered Hub, all resistive voltage
drops for the Bus-Powered Hub must be accounted for to
guarantee voltage regulation (see Figure 7-47 of Universal
Serial Specification Revision 2.0 ).
A 1μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor from VIN to GND,
located at the device is strongly recommended to prevent
the input voltage drooping during hot-plug events. However,
higher capacitor values will further reduce the voltage droop
on the input. Furthermore, without the bypass capacitor,
an output short may cause sufficient ringing on the input
(from source lead inductance) to destroy the internal
control circuitry. The input transient must not exceed 6.5V
of the absolute maximum supply voltage even for a short
duration.
(two contacts per connector)
Output Filter Capacitor
RCABLE = Resistance of upstream cable wires
A low-ESR 150μF aluminum electrolytic or tantalum
between VOUT and GND is strongly recommended to meet
the 330mV maximum droop requirement in the hub VBUS
(Per USB 2.0, output ports must have a minimum 120μF
of low-ESR bulk capacitance per hub). Standard bypass
methods should be used to minimize inductance and
resistance between the bypass capacitor and the
downstream connector to reduce EMI and decouple voltage
droop caused when downstream cables are hot-insertion
transients. Ferrite beads in series with VBUS, the ground
line and the 0.1μF bypass capacitors at the power
connector pins are recommended for EMI and ESD
protection. The bypass capacitor itself should have a low
dissipation factor to allow decoupling at higher frequencies.
(one 5V and one GND)
Fault Flag Filtering (Optional)
The transient inrush current to downstream capacitance
may cause a short-duration error flag, which may cause
erroneous over-current reporting. A simple 1ms RC lowpass filter (10kΩ and 0.1μF) in the flag line (see Typical
Application Circuit) eliminates short-duration transients.
DS9702/A-15 April 2011
The following calculation determines VOUT (MIN) for multiple ports (NPORTS) ganged together through one switch (if
using one switch per port, NPORTS is equal to 1) :
VOUT (MIN) = 4.75V − [ II x ( 4 • RCONN + 2 • RCABLE ) ] −
(0.1A x NPORTS x RSWITCH )− VPCB
Where
RCONN = Resistance of connector contacts
RSWITCH = Resistance of power switch
(80mΩ typical for RT9702/A)
VPCB = PCB voltage drop
The USB specification defines the maximum resistance
per contact (RCONN) of the USB connector to be 30mΩ
and the drop across the PCB and switch to be 100mV.
This basically leaves two variables in the equation: the
resistance of the switch and the resistance of the cable.
If the hub consumes the maximum current (II) of 500mA,
the maximum resistance of the cable is 90mΩ.
The resistance of the switch is defined as follows:
RSWITCH = { 4.75V - 4.4V -[ 0.5A x ( 4 • 30mΩ + 2 • 90mΩ
) ]-VPCB } ÷ ( 0.1A x NPORTS )
= (200mV - VPCB ) ÷ ( 0.1A x NPORTS )
If the voltage drop across the PCB is limited to 100mV,
the maximum resistance for the switch is 250mΩ for four
ports ganged together. The RT9702/A, with its maximum
100mΩ on-resistance over temperature, easily meets this
requirement.

RT9702/A
PCB Layout
ESD
In order to meet the voltage drop, droop, and EMI
requirements, careful PCB layout is necessary. The
following guidelines must be considered:
Because USB is a hot insertion and removal system, USB
components (especially the connector pins) are subject
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and should be qualified
to IEC801.2. The RT9702/A is designed to withstand a
8kV human body mode, as defined in MIL-STD-883C. The
requirements in IEC801.2 are much more stringent and
require additional capacitors for the RT9702/A to withstand
the higher ESD energy.

Keep all VBUS traces as short as possible and use at
least 50-mil, 2 ounce copper for all VBUS traces.
Avoid vias as much as possible. If vias are necessary,
make them as large as feasible.
Place a ground plane under all circuitry to lower both
resistance and inductance and improve DC and transient
performance (Use a separate ground and power plans if
possible).
Place cuts in the ground plane between ports to help
reduce the coupling of transients between ports.
Low-ESR 1μF ceramic bypass capacitors and output
capacitors should be placed as closely as possible to the
VIN and VOUT pins to increase the ESD immunity. The
RT9702/A may pass the requirements of IEC 1000-4-2
(EN 50082-1) level-4 for 15kV air discharge and 8kV contact
discharge tests when these capacitors are added.
Locate the output capacitor and ferrite beads as close
to the USB connectors as possible to lower impedance
(mainly inductance) between the port and the capacitor
and improve transient load performance.
Locate the RT9702/A as close as possible to the output
port to limit switching noise.
Locate the ceramic bypass capacitors as close as
possible to the VIN pins of the RT9702/A.
