AAT4620
PCMCIA Current Limit Interface
and Capacitor Charger
™
SmartSwitch
General Description
Features
The AAT4620 SmartSwitch is a current limited P-
channel MOSFET power switch designed for high-
side load-switching applications in PCMCIA
GSM/GPRS/3G modem cards. Used in conjunc-
tion with a super capacitor, the AAT4620 will
ensure that the power ratings of the PCMCIA host
are not exceeded at any time. Featuring two inde-
pendent, programmable current limits and a power
loop, the AAT4620 can ensure that the super
capacitor can be charged without exceeding PCM-
CIA specifications. The current limit is set by two
external resistors allowing a ±±0ꢀ current limit
accuracy over the normal operating temperature
range. The switch can be controlled from either of
the two enable inputs and in the off condition will
block currents in both directions. The AAT4620
also incorporates a System READY function which
can advise the system that the super capacitor is
fully charged and ready for use. Adjustable hys-
teresis is provided with the addition of an external
resistor. The quiescent supply current is typically a
low 40µA. In shutdown mode, the supply current
decreases to less than ±µA.
