Current Limited Load Switch
General Description
The AAT4612 SmartSwitch is a current limited P-
channel MOSFET power switch designed for high-
side load switching applications operating with
inputs ranging from 2.4V to 5.5V, making it ideal for
both 3V and 5V systems. An integrated current
limiting circuit protects the input supply from large
currents which could potentially cause the supply
to fall out of regulation. In addition, the AAT4612’s
thermal overload protection limits power dissipa-
tion and junction temperatures associated with pro-
longed periods of operation in current limit. Due to
its low R
DS(ON)
, the AAT4612 can be used to control
loads that require up to 1A even while operating at
high ambient temperatures. The ultra-fast current
limit response to a sudden short circuit is a mere
500ns which reduces the requirements of local
supply bypassing. Quiescent current is a low 10µA
and, in shutdown mode, the supply current
decreases to less than 1µA.
The AAT4612 is available in a Pb-free 5-pin SOT23
package or a Pb-free 8-pin SC70JW package and
is specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature
range.
