RT9728B
120mΩ, 1.8A Power Switch with Adjustable Current Limit
Ω
General Description
The RT9728B is a cost effective, low voltage, single
P-MOSFET power switch IC for USB application with a
adjustable current limit feature. Low switch-on resistance
(typ. 120mΩ) and low supply current (typ. 120μA) are
realized in this IC. The RT9728B can offer a adjustable
current limit threshold between 75mA and 1.8A (typ.) via
an external resistor. The
±10%
current limit accuracy can
be realized for all current limit settings. In addition, a flag
output is available to indicate fault conditions to the local
USB controller. Furthermore, the chip also integrates an
embedded delay function to prevent mis-operation due to
high inrush current. The RT9728B is an ideal solution for
USB power supplies and can support flexible applications
since it is suitable for various current limit requirements.
It is available in the SOT-23-6 and WDFN-6L 2x2 packages.

Operation
The RT9728B is a current-limited power switch using
P-MOSFET for applications where short-circuit or heavy
capacitive loads will be encountered. These devices allow
users to adjust the current limit threshold between 75mA
and 1.8A (typ.) via an external resistor. Additional device
shutdown features include over-temperature protection and
reverse-voltage protection.
The RT9728B provides built-in soft-start function. The driver
controls the gate voltage of the power switch. The driver
incorporates circuitry that controls the rising time and
falling time of the output voltage to limit large inrush current
and voltage surges. The RT9728B enters constant-current
mode when the load exceeds the current limit threshold.
