MIC2559
PCMCIA Dual Card Socket V
PP
Switching Matrix
Not Recommended for New Designs
General Description
The MIC2559 Dual V
PP
Matrix switches the four voltages
required by PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association) card V
PP1
and V
PP2
Pins. The
MIC2559 provides selectable 0V, 3.3V, 5.0V, or 12.0V (±5%)
from the system power supply to V
PP1
and V
PP2
. Output
voltage is selected by two digital inputs per V
PP
pin. Output
current ranges up to 120mA. Four output states, V
PP
, V
CC
,
high impedance, and active logic low are available, and V
PP1
is independent of V
PP2
. An auxiliary control input determines
whether the high impedance (open) state or low logic state is
asserted.
In standby mode or full operation, the device draws very little
quiescent current, typically less than 1µA.
The MIC2559 is available in a 14-pin SOIC.

Applications Information
PCMCIA V
PP1
and V
PP2
control is easily accomplished
using the MIC2559 voltage selector/switch IC. Two control
bits per V
PP OUT
pin determine output voltage and standby/
operate mode condition. Output voltages of 0V (defined as
less than 0.4V), V
CC
(3.3V or 5V), V
PP
, or a high impedance
state, are available. When either the high impedance or low
voltage conditions are selected, the device switches into
"sleep" mode and draws only nanoamperes of leakage
current.
The MIC2559 is a dual low-resistance power MOSFET
switching matrix that operates from the computer system
main power supply. Device power is obtained from V
DD
,
which may be either 3.3V or 5V, and FET drive is obtained
from V
PP IN
(usually +12V). Internal break-before-make
switches determine the output voltage and device mode.
V
PP1
and V
PP2
are completely indepenent from each other.
Supply Bypassing
For best results, bypass V
CC
and V
PP IN
inputs with 1µF
capacitors. Both V
PP OUT
pins should have a 0.01µF to
0.1µF capacitor for noise reduction and electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD) damage prevention. Larger values of output
capacitor will create large current spikes during transitions,
requiring larger bypass capacitors on the V
CC
and V
PP IN
pins.

PCMCIA Implementation
The Personal Computer Memory Card International Asso-
ciation (PCMCIA) specification, version 2.0 (September,
1991), requires two V
PP
supply pins per PCMCIA slot. V
PP
is primarily used for programming Flash (EEPROM) memory
cards. The two V
PP
supply pins may be programmed to
different voltages. Fully implementing PCMCIA specifica-
tions requires a MIC2559 and a controller. Figure 2 shows
this full configuration, supporting both 5.0V and 3.3V V
CC
operation. Figure 3 is a simplified design with fixed V
CC
= 5V.
When a memory card is initially inserted, it should receive
V
CC
— usually 5.0V
±5%.
The card sends a handshaking
data stream to the controller, which then determines whether
or not this card requires V
PP
and if the card is designed for
5.0V or 3.3V V
CC
. If the card uses 3.3V V
CC
, the controller
commands this change, which is reflected on the V
CC
pins of
both the PCMCIA slot and the MIC2559.
During Flash memory programming, the PCMCIA controller
outputs a (1,0) to one or both halves of the MIC2559, which
connects V
PP IN
to V
PP OUT1
and/or V
PP OUT2
. The low ON
resistance of the MIC2559 switch requires only a small
bypass capacitor on the V
PP OUT
pins, with the main filtering
