! PIN DESCRIPTION
PIN 1: IN - Power supply input.
PIN 2: GND - Chip power ground.
PIN 3: OUT - MOSFET switch output.
PIN 4: CR - Rise time adjustment pin. Connect a
capacitor from this pin to ground.
PIN 5: CTL - TTL compatible control input. It
controls the power switch turn-on /
turn-off. Active High for AIC1522-1
and active low for AIC1522-0.
! APPLICATION INFORMATIONS
" Current Limit
" The current limit threshold is preset internally. It
protects the output MOSFET switches from damage
due to undesirable short circuit conditions or excess
inrush current often encountered during hot plug-in.
The AIC1522 allows 3A continuous load current per
Channel.
" Thermal Protection
When the chip temperature exceeds 140°C, the thermal
protection function works.
" Supply Filtering
A 0.1uF to 1uF bypass capacitor from IN to GND,
located near the device, is strongly recommended to
control supply transients. Without a bypass capacitor,
an output short may cause sufficient ringing on the input
(from supply lead inductance) to damage internal control
circuitry.
" Generic Hot – Pl ug Application Requirement s
In many applications it may be necessary to remove
modules or PC boards while the main unit is still
operating. These are considered hot – plug applications.
Such implementations require the control of current
surges seen by the main power supply being inserted.
The most effective way to control these surges is to limit
and slowly ram p the current and voltage while a power
supply normally turns on. The AIC1522 can be used to
provide a soft – start protection while AIC1522 being
hot – plugged into a powered system.
" Short Circuit Transient
Bulk capacitance provides the short-term transient
current needed during a hot-attachment event. With a
33uF, 16V tantalum or 100uF, 10V electroly tic capacitor
mounted close to downstream connector should provide
transient drop protection.
" Printed Circui t Layout
The power circuitry of printed circuit boards requires a
customized layout to maximize thermal dissipation and
to minimize voltage drop and EMI.
