Current-Limit Switches
Features
General Description
700mΩ On-Resistance
The G551/G552 family of switches feature internal cur-
rent limiting to prevent host devices from being dam-
aged due to faulty load conditions. These analog
switches have a low 0.7Ω on-resistance and operate
from a 2.0V to 5.5V input voltage range. They are
available with guaranteed 50mA and 100mA current
limits, making them ideal for load-switching applica-
tions.
2 Versions of Current Limits, 85mA (G551B1/ B2 &
G552B1/B2) and 170mA (G551A1/A2 & G552A1/ A2)
2V to 5.5V Supply Range
Undervoltage Lockout
85μA Supply Current
1μA Maximum Shutdown Current
Auto-Restart Function (G551A1/B1 & G552A1/B1)
or Latch-off Function (G551A2/B2 & G552A2/B2)
Active High Enable (G551) or Active Low Enable
(G552)
When the switch is on and a load is connected to the
port, a typical blanking time of 40ms ensures that the
transient voltages settle down. If after this blanking
time the load current is greater than the current limit,
the G551A2/B2 & G552A2/B2 enter a latch-off state

where the switch is turned off and FLAG is issued to
the microprocessor. The switch can be turned on again
by cycling the power or the ON pin.
280ms Auto-Restart Time (G551A1/B1 & G552A1/B1)
Fault FLAG Function
Fast Current-Limit Response Time
SC-70-5( SOT-353) Package
The G551A1/B1 & G552A1/B1 have an auto-restart
feature where the switch turns off after the blanking
time and then continuously checks to see if the over-
load condition is present. The switch remains on after
the overload condition disappears. The ON pin of
G551 series are active high, while G552 series are
active low.
