The AAT4601 is a high-side load switch designed for applications where high current and low voltage drop are required. It features an ultra-low on-resistance of 40mΩ, allowing it to handle high current loads with minimal power loss. The device also includes overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown, and an enable pin for easy control.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage | 5.5V |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 125°C |
| Storage Temperature | -55°C to 150°C |
| Parameter | Condition | Min | Typ | Max | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-Resistance | VIN = 5V, IOUT = 1A | 35mΩ | 40mΩ | 45mΩ | mΩ |
| Off-Current | VIN = 5V, VOUT = 0V | 1nA | 10nA | 100nA | nA |
The AAT4601 is designed for high-current applications, but it is essential to consider the thermal implications of high current flow. Ensure that the device is mounted on a suitable thermal pad or heat sink to maintain a safe junction temperature.
The AAT4601 is available in a SOP-8 package. When mounting the device, ensure that the thermal pad is connected to a suitable ground plane to enhance thermal performance.
The enable pin can be used to control the device. When the enable pin is low, the device is in a low-power shutdown state, and the output is disconnected from the input.
