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
Typical Application Circuit
California Micro Devices CM3512 is a dual channel
USB overcurrent power switch that provides 5V
power to four independent USB ports. The device
has two power switches that provide the VBUS
voltage at each USB output port with minimal
voltage drop.

When either of the EN# inputs is at logic low, the
corresponding power switch is ON and VCC is
connected to the corresponding output through the
switch. When either of the EN# inputs is at logic
high, the corresponding power switch is OFF, and
no power is available at the output.

Both of the power switches have full over-current
protection. Whenever the current limit out of either
switch is exceeded, the device enters a constant-
current mode, and the output voltage is
progressively reduced to prevent the current from
increasing further. Each switch is independent of the
other, so if a switch is on but is not in overcurrent
mode then it will remain switched on. The OC#
output becomes active low only if the overcurrent
condition exceeds a minimum continuous duration of
10ms. This fault blanking delay prevents false
alarms being reported to the host USB controller.

If the overcurrent condition is severe enough that
the part heats up to the thermal limit TMAX, then that
switch will be turned off and the device temperature
cools down. At TMIN the switch then turns on again,
and the device heats up again to TMAX, and so on,
until the fault is removed.
