AP2145/AP2155
0.5A SINGLE CHANNEL CURRENT-LIMITED POWER
SWITCH WITH OUTPUT DISCHARGE
Description
Pin Assignments
SO-8
The AP2145 and AP2155 are integrated high-side power
switches optimized for Universal Serial Bus (USB) and other
hot-swap applications. The family of devices complies with
USB 2.0 and available with both polarities of Enable input.
They offer current and thermal limiting and short circuit
protection as well as controlled rise time and under-voltage
lockout functionality. A 7ms deglitch capability on the
open-drain Flag output prevents false over-current reporting
and does not require any external components.

SWITCH WITH OUTPUT DISCHARGE
Application Note
NEW PRODUCT
Power Supply Considerations
A 0.1-μF to 1-μF X7R or X5R ceramic bypass capacitor
between IN and GND, close to the device, is
recommended. Placing a high-value electrolytic capacitor
on the input and output pin(s) is recommended when the
output load is heavy. This precaution reduces powersupply transients that may cause ringing on the input.
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.
Over-current and Short Circuit Protection
An internal sensing FET is employed to check for overcurrent conditions. Unlike current-sense resistors, sense
FETs do not increase the series resistance of the current
path. When an overcurrent condition is detected, the
device maintains a constant output current and reduces
the output voltage accordingly. Complete shutdown occurs
only if the fault stays long enough to activate thermal
limiting.
extremely low temperature operation. A recommended
capacitor should have temperature characteristics of less
than 10% variation of capacitance change when operated
at extremely low temp. Our recommended aluminum
electrolytic capacitor type is Panasonic FC series.
FLG Response
When an over-current or over-temperature shutdown
condition is encountered, the FLG open-drain output
goes active low after a nominal 7-ms deglitch timeout.
The FLG output remains low until both over-current and
over-temperature conditions are removed. Connecting a
heavy capacitive load to the output of the device can
cause a momentary over-current condition, which does
not trigger the FLG due to the 7-ms deglitch timeout. The
AP2145/AP2155 is designed to eliminate false overcurrent reporting without the need of external
components to remove unwanted pulses.
Power Dissipation and Junction Temperature
Three possible overload conditions can occur. In the first
condition, the output has been shorted to GND before the
device is enabled or before VIN has been applied. The
AP2145/AP2155 senses the short circuit and immediately
clamps output current to a certain safe level namely ILIMIT.
The low on-resistance of the internal MOSFET allows the
small surface-mount packages to pass large current.
Using the maximum operating ambient temperature (TA)
and RDS(ON), the power dissipation can be calculated
by:
2
PD = RDS(ON)× I
In the second condition, an output short or an overload
occurs while the device is enabled. At the instance the
overload occurs, higher current may flow for a very short
period of time before the current limit function can react.
After the current limit function has tripped (reached the
over-current trip threshold), the device switches into
current limiting mode and the current is clamped at ILIMIT.
Finally, calculate the junction temperature:
TJ = PD x RθJA + TA
Where:
TA= Ambient temperature °C
RθJA = Thermal resistance
PD = Total power dissipation
Thermal Protection
In the third condition, the load has been gradually
increased beyond the recommended operating current.
The current is permitted to rise until the current-limit
threshold (ITRIG) is reached or until the thermal limit of the
device is exceeded. The AP2145/AP2155 is capable of
delivering current up to the current-limit threshold without
damaging the device. Once the threshold has been
reached, the device switches into its current limiting mode
and is set at ILIMIT.
To protect against short circuit to GND at extremely low
temperature (< -30oC), a minimum 120-μF electrolytic
capacitor on the output pin is recommended. A correct
capacitor type with capacitor voltage rating and
temperature characteristics must be properly chosen so
that capacitance value does not drop too low at the
AP2145/AP2155
Document number: DS32031 Rev. 2 - 2
Thermal protection prevents the IC from damage when
heavy-overload or short-circuit faults are present for
extended periods of time. The AP2145/AP2155
implements a thermal sensing to monitor the operating
junction temperature of the power distribution switch.
Once the die temperature rises to approximately 140°C
due to excessive power dissipation in an over-current or
short-circuit condition the internal thermal sense circuitry
turns the power switch off, thus preventing the power
switch from damage. Hysteresis is built into the thermal
sense circuit allowing the device to cool down
approximately 25°C before the switch turns back on. The
switch continues to cycle in this manner until the load
fault or input power is removed. The FLG open-drain
output is asserted when an over-temperature shutdown
or over-current occurs with 7-ms deglitch.

Application Note (Continued)
Under-voltage Lockout (UVLO)
NEW PRODUCT
Under-voltage lockout function (UVLO) keeps the internal
power switch from being turned on until the power supply
has reached at least 1.9V, even if the switch is enabled.
Whenever the input voltage falls below approximately
1.9V, the power switch is quickly turned off. This facilitates
the design of hot-insertion systems where it is not possible
to turn off the power switch before input power is removed.
Generic Hot-Plug Applications
In many applications it may be necessary to remove
modules or pc boards while the main unit is still operating.
These are considered hot-plug applications. Such
implementations require the control of current surges seen
by the main power supply and the card being inserted. The
most effective way to control these surges is to limit and
slowly ramp the current and voltage being applied to the
card, similar to the way in which a power supply normally
turns on. Due to the controlled rise times and fall times of
the AP2145/AP2155, these devices can be used to
provide a softer start-up to devices being hot-plugged
into a powered system. The UVLO feature of the
AP2145/AP2155 also ensures that the switch is off after
the card has been removed, and that the switch is off
during the next insertion.
By placing the AP2145/AP2155 between the VCC input
and the rest of the circuitry, the input power reaches
these devices first after insertion. The typical rise time of
the switch is approximately 1ms, providing a slow voltage
ramp at the output of the device. This implementation
controls system surge current and provides a
hot-plugging mechanism for any device.
