DETAILED DESCRIPTION
SiP32461 and SiP32462 are P-channel power MOSFET
designed as high side load switches. They incorporate a
negative charge pump at the gate to keep the gate to source
voltage high when turned on therefore keep the on
resistance low at lower input voltage range. SiP32461 are
designed with slow slew rate to minimize the inrush current
during turn on. This device has a reverse blocking circuit to
prevent the current from going back to the input in case the
output voltage is higher than the input voltage. The
SiP32461 has an output pulldown resistor to discharge the
output capacitance when the device is off.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Input Capacitor
While a bypass capacitor on the input is not required, a
4.7 μF or larger capacitor for C
IN
is recommended in almost
all applications. The bypass capacitor should be placed as
physically close as possible to the input pin to be effective
in minimizing transients on the input. Ceramic capacitors are
recommended over tantalum because of their ability to
withstand input current surges from low impedance sources
such as batteries in portable devices.
Output Capacitor
A 0.1 μF capacitor across V
OUT
and GND is recommended
to insure proper slew operation. There is inrush current
through the output MOSFET and the magnitude of the
inrush current depends on the output capacitor, the bigger
the C
OUT
the higher the inrush current. There are no ESR or
capacitor type requirement.
Enable
The EN pin is compatible with CMOS logic voltage levels. It
requires at least 0.4 V or below to fully shut down the device
and 1 V or above to fully turn on the device. There is a
2.8 M resistor connected between EN pin and GND pin.
Protection Against Reverse Voltage Condition
This device contains a reverse blocking circuit to keep the
output current from flowing back to the input in case the
output voltage is higher than the input voltage.
Thermal Considerations
This device is designed to maintain a constant output load
current. Due to physical limitations of the layout and
assembly of the device the maximum switch current is 1.2 A
as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However,
another limiting characteristic for the safe operating load
current is the thermal power dissipation of the package. To
obtain the highest power dissipation (and a thermal
resistance of 280 °C/W) the device should be connected to
a heat sink on the printed circuit board.
The maximum power dissipation in any application
is dependant on the maximum junction temperature,
T
J(max.)
= 125 °C, the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance,
J-A
= 280 °C/W, and the ambient temperature,
T
A
, which may be formulaically expressed as:
It then follows that, assuming an ambient temperature of
70 °C, the maximum power dissipation will be limited to
about 196 mW.
So long as the load current is below the 1.2 A limit, the
maximum continuous switch current becomes a function
two things: the package power dissipation and the R
DS(ON)
at the ambient temperature.
As an example let us calculate the worst case maximum
load current at T
A
= 70 °C. The worst case R
DS(ON)
at 25 °C
is 65 m at V
IN
= 1.5 V. The R
DS(ON
) at 70 °C can be
extrapolated from this data using the following formula:
R
DS(ON)
(at 70 °C) = R
DS(ON)
(at 25 °C) x (1 + T
C
x T)
Where T
C
is 2820 ppm/°C. Continuing with the calculation
we have
R
DS(ON)
(at 70 °C) = 65 m x (1 + 0.00282 x (70 °C - 25 °C))
= 73.2 m
The maximum current limit is then determined by
which in this case is 1.6 A. Under the stated input voltage
condition, if the 1.6 A current limit is exceeded the internal
die temperature will rise and eventually, possibly damage
the device.
To avoid possible permanent damage to the device and
keep a reasonable design margin, it is recommended to
operate the device maximum up to 1.2 A only as listed in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
