Preliminary Target Datasheet Specification
LX8204
3.5A 12V E-Fuse with Hot-Swap and
Voltage Surge Protection
Description
The LX8204 is a fast acting eFuse switch designed
both to protect circuitry connected to its output
(VOUT) from transient input voltage surges on its
input (VCC), and to protect VCC from overload
current events coming from the load on VOUT.
Voltage protection features include under-voltage
lockout (UVLO), and over-voltage clamping. This
clamp limits VOUT voltage allowing continued circuit
operation during an input over-voltage transient
condition, while UVLO ensures that VOUT remains
off until VCC reaches its minimum operating
threshold. On the current side, the LX8204 protects
the input from a output short circuit and/or over
current condtion with a 2-3.5A current limit circuit.
Additionaly, the LX8204 protects the subsequent
systems from hot-swap condition.
Another protection feature is latching thermal
shutdown of VOUT, with a fault flag output on the
combined EN/FAULT pin. Once thermal shutdown
threshold is reached and the eFuse switch opens,
the tristate EN/FAULT pin will be pulled to about
1.6V signaling to the system and potentially other
connected eFuse switches that a fault has occurred.

Description
VOUT
Output
Output of the device, connect to circuitry to be protected.
When RT is floating, the VOUT rise time will be 13ms.
When RT is grounded, the VOUT rise time will be longer than 1.4ms or
3.5ms.
LX8204-1yy: 1.4ms VOUT rise time.
LX8204-3yy: 3.5ms VOUT rise time.
Do Not Connect.
The EN/FAULT pin is a tri−state, bidirectional interface. It can be used to
disable the output of the device by pulling it to ground using an open drain
or open collector device. If a thermal fault occurs, the voltage on this pin will
go to an intermediate state to signal a monitoring circuit that the device is in
thermal shutdown. It can also be connected to another device in this family
to cause a simultaneous shutdown during thermal events.
