flowing into the host from the connected peripheral.
This can occur when VCC is removed as the host
powers down, and the peripheral still has normal
power applied. The 5V from the peripheral can
therefore be linked to the host’s VBUS, potentially
causing backdrive current into the host and
overloading the peripheral power supply.

Product Description
California Micro Devices’ CM3501 is a dual port
USB overcurrent power switch that selects between
two independent 5V inputs available on a PC,
depending on the state of a logic input (SEL). The
device has two pairs of power switches, and each
pair is an analog “OR” function, providing a
continuous voltage at both outputs during power
transfer beween inputs.

VCC is the main 5V supply, which can be disabled in
a PC, and VSBY is the 5V standby supply which is
powered up whenever the PC has power. When the
‘SEL’ pin is at logic high, VCC is the assigned input
power supply. When ‘SEL’ is at logic low, VSBY is
used to power the output, and no current is taken
from VCC. Both switches can be deselected and
switched off by not driving (floating) the ‘SEL’ input,
which places the chip in low power mode.

Simplified Electrical Schematic
Both pairs of switches have over-current protection.
Depending on whether ‘SEL’ is high or low, a current
over 750mA or 100mA respectively out of either
output causes the device to enter a constant-current
mode, where the output voltage is progressively
reduced to prevent the current from increasing
further. Each output is independent of the other, so if
one of the switches is switched on but is not in
overcurrent mode then it will remain switched on.
The OC# output becomes active only if the

The switch then turns on again, and the device
heats up again, and so on, until the fault is removed.
