ADP197
THEORY OF OPERATION
on and off is controlled by the enable input, EN, which is capable of
interfacing directly with 1.8 V logic signals.

The ADP197 is capable of 3 A of continuous current as long as TJ
is less than 70°C. At 85°C, the rated current drops to 2.22 A.

AND SLEW RATE
CONTROL
The overtemperature protection circuit activates if the load cur-
rent causes the junction temperature to exceed 125°C. When
this occurs, the overtemperature protection circuitry disables
the output until the junction temperature falls below approximately
110°C, at which point the output is reenabled. If the fault condition
persists, the output cycles off and on until the fault is removed.

Figure 23. Functional Block Diagram
The ADP197 is a high-side NMOS load switch, controlled by an
internal charge pump. The APD197 is designed to operate with
power supply voltages between 1.8 V and 5.5 V.
ESD protection structures are shown in the block diagram as Zener
diodes.
The ADP197 is a low quiescent current device with a nominal
4 MΩ pull-down resistor on its enable pin (EN). The package is a
space-saving 1.0 mm × 1.5 mm, 6-ball WLCSP.
An internal charge pump biases the NMOS switch to achieve a
relatively constant, ultralow on resistance of 12 mΩ across the
entire input voltage range. The use of the internal charge pump
also allows for controlled turn-on times. Turning the NMOS switch
