RT9721A/B
80mΩ, 500mA High-Side Power Switches with Flag
General Description
Features
z Compliant to USB Specifications
The RT9721A/B are low voltage, singleN-MOSFET high-
side power switches, optimized for self-powered and bus-
powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications. The
RT9721A/B series provides a charge pump circuitry to drive
z Built-In N-MOSFET
` Typical RDS(ON) : 80mΩ
z Output Can Be Forced to Higher Than Input (Off-
State)
the internal MOSFET switch; the switch's low RDS(ON)
,
z Low Supply Current :
80mΩ, meets USB voltage drop requirements; and a flag
output is available to indicate fault conditions to the local
USB controller.
` 50μA Typical at Switch On State
` 0.1μA Typical at Switch Off State
z Guaranteed 500mA Continuous Load Current
z Wide Input Voltage Ranges : 2.5V to 5.5V
z Open-Drain Fault Flag Output
z Hot Plug-In Application (Soft-Start)
z 2.15V Typical Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
z Current Limiting Protection
Additional features include soft-start to limit inrush current
during plug-in, thermal shutdown to prevent catastrophic
switch failure from high-current loads, under-voltage lockout
(UVLO) to ensure that the device remains off unless there
is a valid input voltage present. The maximum current is
limited to typically 750mAin dual ports in accordance with
the USB power requirements, lower quiescent current as
50uAmaking this device ideal for portable battery-operated
equipment.
z Thermal Shutdown Protection
z Reverse Current Flow Blocking (no body diode)
z UL Approved−E219878
z RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
The RT9721A is designed without output auto-discharge
function and RT9721B is designed with output auto-
discharge function.
Applications
z USB Bus/Self Powered Hubs
z USB Peripherals
The RT9721A/B are available in SOT-23-5 package
requiring minimum board space and smallest components.
z Notebook, Motherboard PCs
