12V Hot-Plug Switch
General Description
The DS4560 is a self-contained hot-plug switch intend-
ed to be used on +12V power buses to limit through
current and to control the power-up output-voltage
ramp. The device contains an on-board 25mΩ n-chan-
nel power MOSFET that is actively closed-loop con-
trolled to ensure that an adjustable current limit is not
exceeded. The maximum allowable current through the
device is determined by an external resistor connected
to the ILIM pin.
The DS4560 also contains the ability to control the
power-up output-voltage ramp. A capacitor connected
to the VRAMP pin sets the desired voltage ramp rate.
The output voltage is unconditionally clamped to keep
input overvoltage stresses from harming the load. The
DS4560 also contains an adjustable power-up timer. A
capacitor connected to the TIMER pin determines how
long after power-on reset the DS4560 should wait
before starting to apply power to the load. The TIMER
pin can also be driven with a digital logic output to cre-
ate a device-enable function.
The DS4560 contains an on-board temperature sensor
with hysteresis. If operating conditions cause the
device to exceed an internal thermal limit, the DS4560
either unconditionally shuts down and latches off await-
ing a power-on reset (DS4560S-LO), or it waits until the
device has cooled by the hysteresis amount and then
restarts (DS4560S-AR).

Detailed Description
The DS4560 begins to operate when V
CC
exceeds the
undervoltage lockout level, V
UVLOR
. At this level, the
enable circuit and TIMER pin become active. Once the
device has been enabled, a gate voltage is applied to
the power MOSFET, allowing current to begin flowing
from V
CC
to LOAD. The speed of the output-voltage
ramp is controlled by the capacitance placed at the
VRAMP pin. The load current is continuously monitored
during the initial voltage ramping (I
SCL
) and during nor-
mal operation (I
OVL
). If the current exceeds the current
limit that is set by the external resistance at ILIM, the
gate voltage of the power MOSFET is decreased,
reducing the output current to the set current limit.
Current is limited by the DS4560 comparing the voltage
difference between the LOAD and ILIM pins to an inter-
nal reference voltage. If the output current exceeds the
limit that is set by the R
ILIM
resistor, the gate voltage of
the power MOSFET is decreased, which reduces the
output current to the load.
When the output power is initially ramping up, the current
limit is I
SCL
. Once the voltage ramping is complete, the
current limit is I
OVL
. The lower I
SCL
current limit protects
the source if there is a dead short on initial power-up.
The DS4560 acts as a fuse and automatically disables
the current flowing to the load when the temperature of
the power MOSFET has exceeded the shutdown junc-
tion temperature, T
SHDN
.
