General Description
The G525A is an integrated high-side power switch
optimized for self-powered and bus-powered Universal
Serial Bus (USB) applications.
The G525A satisfies the USB standards. The switch's
low on-resistance meets USB voltage drop require-
ments. When the output load exceeds current-limit
threshold, G525A switches into constant mode and
limit the output current to a safe level, which is typically
1.4A, well below the UL 25VA safety requirements. An
open-drain flag output is also available to indicate fault
conditions to the local USB controller. Soft start elimi-
nates the momentary voltage drop on the upstream port
that may occur when the switch is enabled in
bus-powered applications.
Besides, a thermal shutdown circuit is included to pre-
vent catastrophic switch failure caused by increasing
power dissipation when continuous heavy loads or
short circuit occurs. A under-voltage lockout (UVLO)
circuit ensures that the device remains off unless there
is a valid input voltage present, and an enable input
that is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic.
The G525A is a UL recognized component and is
available in active-high and active-low versions in 8-pin
SOP packages.
