AAT4620
PCMCIA Current Limit Interface
and Capacitor Charger
General Description
The AAT4620 SmartSwitch is a current limited P-
channel MOSFET power switch designed for high-
side load-switching applications in PCMCIA
GSM/GPRS/3G modem cards. Used in conjunc-
tion with a super capacitor, the AAT4620 will
ensure that the power ratings of the PCMCIA host
are not exceeded at any time. Featuring two inde-
pendent, programmable current limits and a power
loop, the AAT4620 can ensure that the super
capacitor can be charged without exceeding PCM-
CIA specifications. The current limit is set by two
external resistors allowing a ±10% current limit
accuracy over the normal operating temperature
range. The switch can be controlled from either of
the two enable inputs and in the off condition will
block currents in both directions. The AAT4620
also incorporates a System READY function which
can advise the system that the super capacitor is
fully charged and ready for use. Adjustable hys-
teresis is provided with the addition of an external
resistor. The quiescent supply current is typically a
low 40µA. In shutdown mode, the supply current
decreases to less than 1µA.
The AAT4620 is available in a thermally enhanced,
Pb-free, 12-pin TSOPJW package and is specified
over the -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

Function
Enable input. Active low enable with internal pull up. Also switches in the higher current limit
to allow the System to start functioning. Can be directly connected to System Ready for
automatic enabling. When both EN IL and EN IU are enabled, I
SETU
will be selected.
Enable input. Active low enable with internal pull up. Also switches in the lower current limit
initiating the super capacitor to start charging.
Device ground connection.
Input pins to the P-channel MOSFET source. Connect 1µF capacitor from VCC to GND.
P-channel MOSFET drain connection. Connect to super capacitor from OUT to GND.
Lower current-limit set input. A resistor from ISETL to ground sets the maximum lower cur-
rent limit for the switch. Current limit can be set between 100mA and 1200mA.
Upper current limit set input. A resistor from ISETU to ground sets the maximum upper cur-
rent limit for the switch. Current limits can be set between 100mA and 1200mA. Connect to
ground to disable current limit.
System READY hysteresis. Connect a resistor to ground to set the System Ready com-
parator hysteresis.
System ready pin. Open drain, active low, initiated when the capacitor is 98% charged.
