AND9093/D Using MOSFETs in Load Switch Applications APPLICATION NOTE Introduction In today’s market, power management is more important for the same die area. Thus, for high current applications the than ever. Portable systems strive to extend battery life while N-channel transistor is preferred. meeting an ever increasing demand for higher performance. When using an N-channel MOSFET in a load switch Load switches provide a simple and inexpensive method for circuit, the drain is connected directly to the input voltage the system to make the appropriate power management rail and the source is connected to the load. The output decisions based on which peripherals or sub-circuits are voltage is defined as the voltage across the load, and currently in use. Load switches are found in notebooks, cell therefore: phones, hand held gaming systems and many other portable VS VOUT (eq. 1) devices. In order for the N-channel MOSFET to turn on, the The load switch is controlled by the system, and connects or disconnects a voltage rail to a specific load. By turning gate-to-source voltage must be greater than the threshold unused circuitry off, the system as a whole can run more voltage of the device. This means that: efficiently. The load switch provides a simple means to VG VOUT Vth (eq. 2) power a load when
