The LM3544M-L/NOPB is a quad high-side power switch that is an excellent choice for use in Root, Self-Powered and Bus-Powered USB (Universal Serial Bus) Hubs. Independent port enables, flag signals to alert USB controllers of error conditions, controlled start-up in hot-plug events, and short circuit protection all satisfy USB requirements.
The LM3544M-L/NOPB accepts input voltages between 2.7V and 5.5V. The Enable logic inputs, available in active-high and active-low versions, can be powered off any voltage in the 2.7V to 5.5V range. The LM3544M-L/NOPB limits the continuous current through a single port to 1.25A (max.) when it is shorted to ground.
The low on-state resistance of the LM3544M-L/NOPB switches ensures the LM3544M-L/NOPB will satisfy USB voltage drop requirements, even when current through a switch reaches 500 mA. Thus, High-Powered USB Functions, Low-Powered USB functions, and Bus-Powered USB Hubs can all be powered off a Root or Self-Powered USB Hub containing the LM3544.
Added features of the LM3544M-L/NOPB include current foldback to reduce power consumption in current overload conditions, thermal shutdown to prevent device failure caused by high-current overheating, and undervoltage lockout to keep switches from operating if the input voltage is below acceptable levels.
