Triple Port USB Power Distribution Switch and Over-
Current Protection
General Description
The LM3543 is a triple high-side power switch that is an ex-
cellent choice for use in Root, Self-Powered and Bus-Pow-
ered USB (Universal Serial Bus) Hubs. Independent port
enables, flag signals to alert USB controllers of error condi-
tions, 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 Functions, 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 re-
duce power consumption in current overload conditions, ther-
mal shutdown to prevent device failure caused by high-
current overheating, and undervoltage lockout to keep
switches from operating if the input voltage is below accept-
able levels.
