LM3543
Triple Port USB Power Distribution Switch and
Over-Current Protection
General Description
The LM3543 is a triple high-side power switch that is an
excellent choice for use in Root, Self-Powered and
Bus-Powered USB (Universal Serial Bus) Hubs. Indepen-
dent 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 LM3543 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 LM3543 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 LM3543 switches ensures
the LM3543 will satisfy USB voltage drop requirements,
even when current through a switch reaches 500 mA. Thus,
High-Powered USB Functions, Low-Powered USB Func-
tions, and Bus-Powered USB Hubs can all be powered off a
Root or Self-Powered USB Hub containing the LM3543.
Added features of the LM3543 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.
