The current-limit threshold is user adjustable between 100 mA and 1.1 A via an external resistor. The power-switch rise and fall times are controlled to minimize current surges during switching. The device limits the output current to a desired level by switching into a constant-current mode when the output load exceeds the current-limit threshold or a short is present. An internal reverse-voltage detection comparator disables the power-switch in the event that the output voltage is driven higher than the input to protect devices on the input side of the switch. The FAULT logic output asserts low during both overcurrent and reverse-voltage conditions.

SLVS736A – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED JULY 2008 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OVERVIEW The TPS2550/51 are current-limited, power distribution switches using N-channel MOSFETs for applications where short-circuits or heavy capacitive loads will be encountered. These devices allow the user to program the current-limit threshold between 100 mA and 1.1 A via an external resistor. Additional device shutdown features include overtemperature protection and reverse-voltage protection. The device incorporates an internal charge pump and gate drive circuitry necessary to drive the N-channel MOSFET. The charge pump supplies power to the driver circuit and provides the necessary voltage to pull the gate of the MOSFET above the source. The charge pump operates from input voltages as low as 2.5 V and requires little supply current. The driver controls the gate voltage of the power switch. The driver incorporates circuitry that controls the rise and fall times of the output voltage to limit large current and voltage surges and provide built-in soft-start functionality. OVERCURRENT The TPS2550/51 responds to an overcurrent condition by limiting its output current to the IOC and IOS levels shown in Figure 21. Three response profiles are possible depending on the loading conditions and are summarized in Figure 4. One response profile occurs if the TPS2550/51 is enabled into a short-circuit. The output voltage is held near zero potential with respect to ground and the TPS2550/51 ramps the output current to IOS (see Figure 7). A second response profile occurs if a short is applied to the output after the TPS2550/51 is enabled. The device responds to the overcurrent condition within time tIOS (see Figure 3). The current-sense amplifier is over-driven during this time and momentarily disables the internal current-limit MOSFET. The current-sense amplifier gradually recovers and limits the output current to IOS. A third response profile occurs if the load current gradually increases. The device first limits the load current to IOC. If the load demands a current greater than IOC, the TPS2550/51 folds back the current to IOS and the output voltage decreases to IOS x RLOAD for a resistive load, which is shown in Figure 4. The TPS2550/51 thermal cycles if an overload condition is present long enough to activate thermal limiting in any of the above cases. The device turns off when the junction temperature exceeds 135°C (typ). The device remains off until the junction temperature cools 15°C (typ) and then restarts. The TPS2550/51 cycles on/off until the overload is removed (see Figure 9 and Figure 11) . REVERSE-VOLTAGE PROTECTION The reverse-voltage protection feature turns off the N-channel MOSFET whenever the output voltage exceeds the input voltage by 135 mV (typical) for 4-ms. This prevents damage to devices on the input side of the TPS2550/51 by preventing significant current from sinking into the input capacitance. The N-channel MOSFET is allowed to turn-on once the output voltage goes below the input voltage for the same 4-ms deglitch time. The reverse-voltage comparator also asserts the FAULT output (active-low) after 4-ms. FAULT RESPONSE The FAULT open-drain output is asserted (active low) during an overcurrent, overtemperature or reverse-voltage condition. The output remains asserted until the fault condition is removed. The TPS2550/51 is designed to eliminate false FAULT reporting by using an internal delay "deglitch" circuit for overcurrent (7.5-ms) and reverse-voltage (4-ms) conditions without the need for external circuitry. This ensures that FAULT is not accidentally asserted due to normal operation such as starting into a heavy capacitive load. The deglitch circuitry delays entering and leaving fault conditions. Overtemperature conditions are not deglitched and assert the FAULT signal immediately. UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO) The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables the power switch until the input voltage reaches the UVLO turn-on threshold. Built-in hysteresis prevents unwanted on/off cycling due to input voltage drop from large current surges.

The supply current is reduced to less than 1-µA when a logic high is present on EN or when a logic low is present on EN. A logic low input on EN or a logic high input on EN enables the driver, control circuits, and power switch. The enable input is compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic levels. THERMAL SENSE The TPS2550/51 protects itself with two independent thermal sensing circuits that monitor the operating temperature of the power-switch and disables operation if the temperature exceeds recommended operating conditions. The device operates in constant-current mode during an overcurrent conditions, which increases the voltage drop across power-switch. The power dissipation in the package is proportional to the voltage drop across the power-switch, so the junction temperature rises during an overcurrent condition. The first thermal sensor turns off the power-switch when the die temperature exceeds 135°C and the part is in current limit. The second thermal sensor turns off the power-switch when the die temperature exceeds 155°C regardless of whether the power-switch is in current limit. Hysteresis is built into both thermal sensors, and the switch turns on after the device has cooled approximately 15 °C. The switch continues to cycle off and on until the fault is removed. The open-drain false reporting output FAULT is asserted (active low) immediately during an overtemperature shutdown condition. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS2550 TPS2551 TPS2550 TPS2551 www.ti.com .................................................................................................................................................... SLVS736A – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED JULY 2008 APPLICATION INFORMATION INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITANCE Input and output capacitance improve the performance of the device; the actual capacitance should be optimized for the particular application. For all applications, a 0.01 µF to 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor between IN and GND is recommended as close to the device as possible for local noise de-coupling. This precaution reduces ringing on the input due to power-supply transients. Additional input capacitance may be needed on the input to reduce voltage overshoot from exceeding the absolute maximum voltage of the device during heavy transients. This is especially important during bench testing when long, inductive cables are used to connect the evaluation board to the bench power-supply. Placing a high-value electrolytic capacitor on the output pin is recommended when the large transient currents are expected on the output. Additionally, bypassing the output with a 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor improves the immunity of the device to short-circuit transients. PROGRAMMING THE CURRENT-LIMIT THRESHOLD The overcurrent threshold is user programmable via an external resistor. Many applications require that the minimum current-limit is above a certain current level or that the maximum current-limit is below a certain current level, so it is important to consider the tolerance of the overcurrent threshold when selecting a value for RILIM. The following equations and Figure 21 can be used to calculate the resulting overcurrent threshold for a given external resistor value ILIM). Figure 21 includes current-limit tolerance due to variations caused by temperature and process. The traces routing the RILIM resistor to the TPS2550/51should be as short as possible to reduce parasitic effects on the current-limit accuracy. There are two important current-limit thresholds for the device and are related by Figure 4. The first threshold is the short-circuit current threshold IOS. IOS is the current delivered to the load if the part is enabled into a short-circuit or a short-circuit is applied during normal operation. The second threshold is the overcurrent threshold IOC. IOC is the peak DC current that can be delivered to the load before the device begins to limit current. IOC is important if ramped loads or slow transients are common to the application. It is important to consider both IOS and IOC when choosing RILIM. RILIM can be selected to provide a current-limit threshold that occurs 1) above a minimum load current or 2) below a maximum load current. To design above a minimum current-limit threshold, find the intersection of RILIM and the maximum desired load current on the IOS(min) curve and choose a value of RILIM below this value. Programming the current-limit above a minimum threshold is important to ensure start-up into full-load or heavy capacitive loads. The resulting maximum DC load current is the intersection of the selected value of RILIM and the IOC(max) curve. To design below a maximum DC current level, find the intersection of RILIM and the maximum desired load current on the IOC(max) curve and choose a value of RILIM above this value. Programming the current-limit below a maximum threshold is important to avoid current-limiting upstream power supplies causing the input voltage bus to droop. The resulting minimum short-circuit current is the intersection of the selected value of RILIM and the IOS(min) curve. Overcurrent Threshold Equations (IOC): • IOC(max) (mA) = (24500 V) / ILIM kΩ) 0.975 • IOC(typ) (mA) = (23800 V) / ILIM kΩ) 0.985 • IOC(min) (mA) = (23100 V) / ILIM kΩ) 0.996 Short-Circuit Current Equations (IOS): • IOS(max) (mA) = (25500 V) / ILIM kΩ) 1.013 • IOS(typ) (mA) = (28700 V) / ILIM kΩ) 1.114 • IOS(min) (mA) = (39700 V) / ILIM kΩ) 1.342 where 14.3 kΩ ≤ RILIM ≤ 80.6 kΩ.

Current-Limit Threshold Vs.RILIM APPLICATION 1: DESIGNING ABOVE A MINIMUM CURRENT-LIMIT Some applications require that current-limiting cannot occur below a certain threshold. For this example, assume that 1 A must be delivered to the load so that the minimum desired current-limit threshold is 1000 mA. Use the IOS equations and Figure 21 to select RILIM. • IOS(min) (mA) = 1000 mA • IOS(min) (mA) = (39700 V) / ILIM (kΩ)) 1.342 • RILIM (kΩ) = [(39700 V) / (IOS(min) (mA))] 1/1.342 • RILIM = 15.54 kΩ Select the closest 1% resistor less than the calculated value: RILIM = 15.4 kΩ. This sets the minimum current-limit threshold at 1 A . Use the IOC equations, Figure 21, and the previously calculated value for RILIM to calculate the maximum resulting current-limit threshold. • RILIM = 15.4 kΩ • IOC(max) (mA) = (24500 V) / ILIM (kΩ)) 0.975 • IOC(max) (mA) = (24500 V) / (15 (kΩ)) 0.975 • IOC(max) = 1703 mA The resulting maximum current-limit threshold is 1.7 A with a 15.4 kΩ resistor.

SLVS736A – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED JULY 2008 Select the closest 1% resistor greater than the calculated value: RILIM = 21.5 kΩ. This sets the maximum current-limit threshold at 1.25 A . Use the IOS equations, Figure 21, and the previously calculated value for RILIM to calculate the minimum resulting current-limit threshold. • RILIM = 21.5 kΩ • IOS(min) (mA) = (39700 V) / ILIM (kΩ)) 1.342 • IOS(min) (mA) = (39700 V) / (21.5 (kΩ)) 1.342 • IOS(min) = 647 mA The resulting minimum current-limit threshold is 647 mA with a 21.5 kΩ resistor. POWER DISSIPATION AND JUNCTION TEMPERATURE The low on-resistance of the N-channel MOSFET allows small surface-mount packages to pass large currents. It is good design practice to estimate power dissipation and junction temperature. The below analysis gives an approximation for calculating junction temperature based on the power dissipation in the package. However, it is important to note that thermal analysis is strongly dependent on additional system level factors. Such factors include air flow, board layout, copper thickness and surface area, and proximity to other devices dissipating power. Good thermal design practice must include all system level factors in addition to individual component analysis. Begin by determining the rDS(on) of the N-channel MOSFET relative to the input voltage and operating temperature. As an initial estimate, use the highest operating ambient temperature of interest and read rDS(on) from the typical characteristics graph. Using this value, the power dissipation can be calculated by: PD = rDS(on) × IOUT2 Where: PD = Total power dissipation (W) rDS(on) = Power switch on-resistance (Ω) IOUT = Maximum current-limit threshold (A) This step calculates the total power dissipation of the N-channel MOSFET. Finally, calculate the junction temperature: TJ = PD × RΘJA + TA Where: TA = Ambient temperature (°C) RΘJA = Thermal resistance (°C/W) PD = Total power dissipation (W) Compare the calculated junction temperature with the initial estimate. If they are not within a few degrees, repeat the calculation using the "refined" rDS(on) from the previous calculation as the new estimate. Two or three iterations are generally sufficient to achieve the desired result. The final junction temperature is highly dependent on thermal resistance RθJA, and thermal resistance is highly dependent on the individual package and board layout. The "Dissipating Rating Table" at the beginnng of this document provides example thermal resistances for specific packages and board layouts. UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) POWER-DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS One application for this device is for current-limiting in universal serial bus (USB) applications. The original USB interface was a 12-Mb/s or 1.5-Mb/s, multiplexed serial bus designed for low-to-medium bandwidth PC peripherals (e.g., keyboards, printers, scanners, and mice). As the demand for more bandwidth increased, the USB 2.0 standard was introduced increasing the maximum data rate to 480-Mb/s. The four-wire USB interface is conceived for dynamic attach-detach (hot plug-unplug) of peripherals. Two lines are provided for differential data, and two lines are provided for 5-V power distribution. USB data is a 3.3-V level signal, but power is distributed at 5 V to allow for voltage drops in cases where power is distributed through more than one hub across long cables. Each function must provide its own regulated 3.3 V from the 5-V input or its own internal power supply. The USB specification classifies two different classes of Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS2550 TPS2551 19 TPS2550 TPS2551 SLVS736A – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED JULY 2008 .................................................................................................................................................... www.ti.com devices depending on its maximum current draw. A device classified as low-power can draw up to 100 mA as defined by the standard. A device classified as high-power can draw up to 500 mA. It is important that the minimum current-limit threshold of the current-limiting power-switch exceed the maximum current-limit draw of the intended application. The latest USB standard should always be referenced when considering the current-limit threshold The USB specification defines two types of devices as hubs and functions. A USB hub is a device that contains multiple ports for different USB devices to connect and can be self-powered (SPH) or bus-powered (BPH). A function is a USB device that is able to transmit or receive data or control information over the bus. A USB function can be embedded in a USB hub. A USB function can be one of three types included in the list below. • Low-power, bus-powered function • High-power, bus-powered function • Self-powered function SPHs and BPHs distribute data and power to downstream functions. The TPS2550/51 has higher current capability than required for a single USB port allowing it to power multiple downstream ports. SELF-POWERED AND BUS-POWERED HUBS A SPH has a local power supply that powers embedded functions and downstream ports. This power supply must provide between 4.75 V to 5.25 V to downstream facing devices under full-load and no-load conditions. SPHs are required to have current-limit protection and must report overcurrent conditions to the USB controller. Typical SPHs are desktop PCs, monitors, printers, and stand-alone hubs. A BPH obtains all power from an upstream port and often contains an embedded function. It must power up with less than 100 mA. The BPH usually has one embedded function, and power is always available to the controller of the hub. If the embedded function and hub require more than 100 mA on power up, the power to the embedded function may need to be kept off until enumeration is completed. This is accomplished by removing power or by shutting off the clock to the embedded function. Power switching the embedded function is not necessary if the aggregate power draw for the function and controller is less than 100 mA. The total current drawn by the bus-powered device is the sum of the current to the controller, the embedded function, and the downstream ports, and it is limited to 500 mA from an upstream port. LOW-POWER BUS-POWERED AND HIGH-POWER BUS-POWERED FUNCTIONS Both low-power and high-power bus-powered functions obtain all power from upstream ports. Low-power functions always draw less than 100 mA; high-power functions must draw less than 100 mA at power up and can draw up to 500 mA after enumeration. If the load of the function is more than the parallel combination of 44 Ω and 10 µF at power up, the device must implement inrush current limiting. USB POWER-DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS USB can be implemented in several ways regardless of the type of USB device being developed. Several power-distribution features must be implemented. • SPHs must: – Current-limit downstream ports – Report overcurrent conditions • BPHs must: – Enable/disable power to downstream ports – Power up at <100 mA – Limit inrush current (<44 Ω and 10 µF) • Functions must: – Limit inrush currents – Power up at <100 mA The feature set of the TPS2550/51 meets each of these requirements. The integrated current-limiting and overcurrent reporting is required by self-powered hubs. The logic-level enable and controlled rise times meet the need of both input and output ports on bus-powered hubs and the input ports for bus-powered functions. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS2550 TPS2551 TPS2550 TPS2551 www.ti.com .................................................................................................................................................... SLVS736A – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED JULY 2008 AUTO-RETRY FUNCTIONALITY Some applications require that an overcurrent condition disables the part momentarily during a fault condition and re-enables after a pre-set time. This auto-retry functionality can be implemented with an external resistor and capacitor. During a fault condition, FAULT pulls low disabling the part. The part is disabled when EN is pulled low, and FAULT goes high impedance allowing CRETRY to begin charging. The part re-enables when the voltage on EN reaches the turnon threshold, and the auto-retry time is determined by the resistor/capacitor time constant. The part will continue to cycle in this manner until the fault condition is removed.

Auto-Retry Functionality With External EN Signal LATCH-OFF FUNCTIONALITY The circuit in Figure 24 uses an SN74HC00 quad-NAND gate to implement overcurrent latch-off. The SN74HC00 high-speed CMOS logic gate is selected because it operates over the 2.5V – 6.5V range of the TPS2550/51. This circuit is designed to work with the active-high TPS2551. ENABLE must be logic low during start-up until VIN is stable to ensure that the switch initializes in the OFF state. A logic high on ENABLE turns on the switch after VIN is stable. FAULT momentarily pulls low during an overcurrent condition, which latches STAT logic low and disables the switch. The host can monitor STAT for an overcurrent condition. Toggling ENABLE resets STAT and re-enables the switch.

Figure 25 shows an implementation for an externally controlled, two-level current-limit circuit. The current-limit threshold is set by the total resistance from ILIM to GND (see previously discussed "Programming the Current-Limit Threshold" section). A logic-level input enables/disables MOSFET Q1 and changes the current-limit threshold by modifying the total resistance from ILIM to GND. Additional MOSFETs/resistor combinations can be used in parallel to Q1/R2 to increase the number of additional current-limit levels.
