PolySwitch Resettable Fuses
New RUSB products provide lower resistance and faster trip times
PolySwitch RUSB devices designed to meet
all USB overcurrent requirements
New PolySwitch RUSB devices
are designed to meet USB and
safety agency requirements.
The RUSB family of leaded
resettable fuses offers
overcurrent protection for
USB applications.
The low resistance, fast trip
times, and tight trip-to-hold ratio
of these devices provide flexibility
for designers. The RUSB product
family is available in a range of
currents, from 0.75 to 2.5 amps
and has a 6-volt/40-amp rating.
Features
• Low resistance
• Fast trip times
• Tighter trip-to-hold ratio
Benefits
• Meets voltage droop requirements
• Meets voltage-output limits
• Suitable in low- and high-wattage
power supplies
• Suitable for self-powered and bus-
powered hub port protection.

USB requirements
Overcurrent protection
The USB Specification 1.0 states
that overcurrent protection is required to
prevent damage in the event of:
• catastrophic device failure
• software error
• user action, such as shorting of pins
Section 7.2.1 of the specification
delineates the following USB
overcurrent protection requirements:
• The host and all self-powered hubs
must implement overcurrent protection
for safety reasons.
• The overcurrent value cannot exceed 5 A.
• The host and all self-powered hubs must
have a way to detect an overcurrent
condition and report it to the hub controller.
Voltage output
The USB Specification requires a minimum
port output voltage (V
OUT
) in two locations on
the bus: 4.75 V out of a self-powered hub port
and 4.40 V out of a bus-powered hub port.
The two following tables show how typical
designs meet USB voltage-drop requirements.

Voltage droop
Voltage droop occurs during a hot-plug
event resulting from the connection of a
peripheral and its uncharged input bulk
capacitance to a USB port. Test results
(shown below) on a range of devices
demonstrate that PolySwitch devices
meet the USB Specification’s voltage
droop requirement of 0.330 V maximum
for host/self-powered hubs and bus-
powered hubs.
