Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | High-side Load Switch | | **Input Voltage Range** | 1.8V to 5.5V | | **Continuous Current** | Up to 2.0A | | **On-Resistance (Rds On)** | ~12 mΩ (at 5V) | | **Quiescent Current** | 20 µA (Typical) | | **Shutdown Current** | < 1 µA | | **Package Type** | 6-lead LFCSP (2mm x 2mm) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C | --- ### 2. Core Functional Components The device consists of several critical internal blocks that ensure safe and efficient power switching: 1. **Low Rdson MOSFET:** The heart of the chip is an N-channel MOSFET. Because it has very low resistance when "on," it minimizes voltage drops and heat generation even at 2 Amps. 2. **Charge Pump:** Since it uses an N-channel MOSFET as a high-side switch, an internal charge pump generates a gate voltage higher than the input voltage to fully turn the transistor on. 3. **Level Shifter:** This allows the "Enable" pin to be controlled by low-voltage logic (like a 1.2V microcontroller) even if the power rail being switched is 5V. 4. **Quick Output Discharge (QOD):** The "-01" variant typically includes an internal resistor that discharges the output capacitor when the switch is turned off, ensuring the load voltage drops to zero quickly. --- ### 3. Pin Configuration | Pin Number | Name | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | **VIN** | Input Voltage Source | | 2 | **VIN** | Input Voltage Source (Multiple pins for current handling) | | 3 | **EN** | Enable Input (Active High) | | 4 | **VOUT** | Switch Output | | 5 | **VOUT** | Switch Output | | 6 | **GND** | Ground | --- ### 4. Application Use Cases * **Mobile Devices:** Turning off power to subsystems (GPS, Wi-Fi, Camera) when not in use to extend battery life. * **USB Ports:** Controlling power delivery to USB peripherals. * **Point of Sale (POS):** Managing power sequences for peripheral screens or card readers. * **Industrial Sensors:** Isolating sensors to prevent parasitic power draw during sleep modes. --- ### 5. Implementation Example To use this part in a circuit, a simple configuration is usually sufficient: ```c // Pseudocode for Microcontroller Control if (system_need_peripheral == TRUE) { set_pin_high(GPIO_PIN_ADP197_EN); // Logic High turns ON the 2A rail } else { set_pin_low(GPIO_PIN_ADP197_EN); // Logic Low turns OFF and discharges VOUT } ```
