Applications

DESCRIPTION
The LM3525 provides Universal Serial Bus standard
power switch and over-current protection for all host
port applications. The single port device is ideal for
Notebook PC and Handheld PC applications that
supply power to one port.
A 1 ms delay on fault flag output prevents erroneous
overcurrent reporting caused by inrush currents
during the hot-plug events.
The LM3525 accepts an input voltage between 2.7V
and 5.5V allowing use as a device-based inrush
current limiter for 3.3V USB peripherals, as well as
Root and Self-Powered Hubs at 5.5V. The Enable
input accepts both 3.3V and 5.0V logic thresholds.
The small size, low RON, and 1 ms fault flag delay
make the LM3525 a good choice for root hubs as well
as ganged power control in space-critical self•
powered hubs.
