Full Function Load Switch with Adjustable Current Limit
Features General Description
1.8 to 5.5V Input Voltage Range The FPF2163, FPF2164, and FPF2165 is a series of load
Controlled Turn-On switches which provides full protection to systems and loads
which may encounter large current conditions. These devices

Fault Blanking
When the switch current reaches the current limit, the parts
Reverse Current Blocking operate in a constant-current mode to prohibit excessive
RoHS Compliant currents from causing damage. For the FPF2163 and FPF2164,
if the constant current condition still persists after 30ms, these
Applications parts will shut off the switch and pull the fault signal pin (FLAGB)
low. The FPF2163 has an auto-restart feature which will turn the
PDAs switch on again after 450ms if the ON pin is still active. The
Cell Phones FPF2164 does not have this auto-restart feature so the switch

This is more power than the package can dissipate, but the
thermal shutdown of the part will activate to protect the part from
damage due to excessive heating. When using the FPF2164,
attention must be given to the manual resetting of the part. The
junction temperature will only be able to increase to the thermal
shutdown threshold. Once this temperature has been reached,
toggling ON will not turn-on the switch until the junction
temperature drops. For the FPF2165, a short on the output will
cause the part to operate in a constant current state dissipating
a worst case power of,
P(max) = VIN(max) x ILIM(max) (5)
= 5.5 x 1.5 = 8.25W

This large amount of power will activate the thermal shutdown

and the part will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown so long as
the ON pin is active and the short is present.

Board Layout
For best performance, all traces should be as short as possible.
To be most effective, the input and output capacitors should be
placed close to the device to minimize the effects that parasitic
trace inductances may have on normal and short-circuit
operation. Using wide traces for VIN, VOUT and GND will help
minimize parasitic electrical effects along with minimizing the
case to ambient thermal impedance.
The middle pad (pin 7) should be connected to the GND plate
of PCB for improving thermal performance of the load switch.
An improper layout could result higher junction temperature and
triggering the thermal shutdown protection feature. This concern
applies when the switch is set at higher current limit value and
an overcurrent condition occurs. In this case power dissipation
of the switch (PD = (VIN - VOUT) x ILIM(max)) could exceed the
maximum absolute power dissipation of 1.2W.
