This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
DESCRIPTION (CONT.)
The TPS2540A/41A auto detect mode also has a longer detach detection time, so that it can support certain
unique non-compliant devices. The TPS2540/40A/41/41A power-distribution switch is intended for applications
where heavy capacitive loads and short-circuits are likely to be encountered, incorporating a 73-mΩ, N-channel
MOSFET in a single package. Constant-current mode is used when the output load exceeds the current-limit
threshold. ILIM_SEL logic input selects one of two current-limit thresholds, each one being individually adjustable
via an external resistor. Additional USB switch features include a de-glitched output fault reporting (FAULT), and
a logic-level enable EN (TPS2540/40A) or OUT discharge control DSC (TPS2541/41A). With the TPS2540/40A,
the mode “000” is used to force an output discharge.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Overview
The following overview references various industry standards. It is always recommended to consult the most
up-to-date standard to ensure the most recent and accurate information.
Rechargeable portable equipment requires an external power source to charge its batteries. USB ports are a
convenient location for charging because of an available 5-V power source. Universally accepted standards are
required to make sure host and client-side devices operate together in a system to ensure power management
requirements are met. Traditionally, USB host ports following the USB 2.0 specification must provide at least 500
mA to downstream client-side devices. Because multiple USB devices can be attached to a single USB port
through a bus-powered hub, it is the responsibility of the client-side device to negotiate its power allotment from
the host to ensure the total current draw does not exceed 500 mA. In general, each USB device is granted 100
mA and may request more current in 100 mA unit steps up to 500 mA. The host may grant or deny based on the
available current.
Additionally, the success of USB has made the mini-USB connector a popular choice for wall adapter cables.
This allows a portable device to charge from both a wall adapter and USB port with only one connector.
One common difficulty has resulted from this. As USB charging has gained popularity, the 500 mA minimum
defined by USB 2.0 has become insufficient for many handset and personal media players which need a higher
charging rate. On the other hand, wall adapters can provide much more current than 500 mA. Several new
standards have been introduced defining protocol handshaking methods that allow host and client devices to
acknowledge and draw additional current beyond the 500 mA minimum defined by USB 2.0 while still using a
single micro-USB input connector.
The TPS2540, TPS2540A, TPS2541 and TPS2541A support three of the most common protocols:
• USB 2.0 Battery Charging Specification BC1.2
• Chinese Telecommunications Industry Standard YD/T 1591-2009
• Divider Mode
All three methods have similarities and differences, but the biggest commonality is that all three define three
types of charging ports that provide charging current to client-side devices. These charging ports are defined as:
• Standard Downstream Port (USB 2.0) (SDP)
• Charging Downstream Port (CDP)
• Dedicated Charging Port (DCP)
BC1.2 defines a Charging Port as a downstream facing USB port that provides power for charging portable
equipment.
The table below shows the differences between these ports according to BC1.2 .
BC1.2 defines the protocol necessary to allow portable equipment to determine what type of port it is connected
to so that it can allot its maximum allowable current draw. The hand-shaking process has two steps. During step
one, the primary detection, the portable equipment outputs a nominal 0.6-V output on its D+ line and reads the
voltage input on its D- line. The portable device concludes it is connected to an SDP if the voltage is less than
the nominal data detect voltage of 0.3 V. The portable device concludes that it is connected to a Charging Port if
the D- voltage is greater than the nominal data detect voltage of 0.3 V and less than 0.8 V. The second step, the
secondary detection, is necessary for portable equipment to determine between a CDP and a DCP. The portable
device outputs a nominal 0.6 V output on its D- line and reads the voltage input on its D+ line. The portable
device concludes it is connected to a CDP if the data line being read remains less than the nominal data detect
voltage of 0.3 V. The portable device concludes it is connected to a DCP if the data line being read is greater
than the nominal data detect voltage of 0.3V and less than 0.8 V.
NOTE
1. While in CDP mode, the data switches are ON even while CDP handshaking is occurring.
2. The data line switches are OFF if EN (or DSC) is low, or if in DCP mode (BC1.2, Divider mode
or Auto-detect). They are not automatically turned off if the power switch (IN to OUT) is doing
current limiting. With TPS2540/40A, the data line switches are also off when in “000” mode.
3. The data switches are for USB 2.0 differential pair only. In the case of a USB 3.0 host, the
super speed differential pairs must be routed directly to the USB connector without passing
through the TPS2540/40A/41/41A.
NOTE
With the TPS2540/40A, if the “000” mode is selected, the power switch will be turned off
and an output discharge resistor will be connected, while the data line switches will be
turned off.
Output Discharge
To allow a charging port to renegotiate current with a portable device, TPS2540/40A/41/41A uses the VBUS
discharge function. It proceeds by turning off the power switch while discharging OUT, then turning back ON the
power switch to reassert the OUT voltage.
This discharge function is automatically applied when a change at the CTLx lines results in any of the following
mode transitions.
• Any transition to and from CDP
• Any transition to and from SDP
In addition to this, a direct discharge control, DSC, is available with the TPS2541/41A, while with the
TPS2540/40A, a discharge can be achieved using the mode “000”.
Overcurrent Protection
When an over-current condition is detected, the device maintains a constant output current and reduces the
output voltage accordingly. Two possible overload conditions can occur. In the first condition, the output has
been shorted before the device is enabled or before VIN has been applied.
The TPS2540/40A/41/41A senses the short and immediately switches into a constant-current output. In the
second condition, a short or an overload occurs while the device is enabled. At the instant the overload occurs,
high currents may flow for nominally one to two microseconds before the current-limit circuit can react. The
device operates in constant-current mode after the current-limit circuit has responded. Complete shutdown
occurs only if the fault is present long enough to activate thermal limiting. The device will remain off until the
junction temperature cools approximately 10°C and will then re-start. The device will continue to cycle on/off until
the over-current condition is removed.

Current-Limit Thresholds
The TPS2540/40A/41/41A has two independent current-limit thresholds that are each programmed externally
with a resistor. The following equation programs the typical current-limit threshold:
48000
ISHORT =
RILIMx (3)
where ISHORT is in mA and RILIMx is in kΩ. RILIMx corresponds to RILIM0 when ILIM_SEL is logic LO and to
RILIM1 when ILIM_SEL is logic HI. The ILIM_SEL pin allows the system to digitally select between two
current-limit thresholds, which is useful in end equipment that may require a lower setting when powered from
batteries vs. wall adapters.
FAULT Response
The FAULT open-drain output is asserted (active low) during an over-temperature or current limit condition. The
output remains asserted until the fault condition is removed. The TPS2540/40A/41/41A is designed to eliminate
false FAULT reporting by using an internal deglitch circuit for current limit conditions without the need for external
circuitry. This ensures that FAULT is not accidentally asserted due to normal operation such as starting into a
heavy capacitive load. Over-temperature conditions are not deglitched and assert the FAULT signal immediately.
Thermal Sense
The TPS2540/40A/41/41A protects itself with two independent thermal sensing circuits that monitor the operating
temperature of the power distribution switch and disables operation if the temperature exceeds recommended
operating conditions. The device operates in constant-current mode during an over-current condition, which
increases the voltage drop across power switch. The power dissipation in the package is proportional to the
voltage drop across the power switch, so the junction temperature rises during an over-current condition. The
first thermal sensor turns off the power switch when the die temperature exceeds 135°C and the part is in current
limit. The second thermal sensor turns off the power switch when the die temperature exceeds 155°C regardless
of whether the power switch is in current limit. Hysteresis is built into both thermal sensors, and the switch turns
on after the device has cooled by approximately 10°C. The switch continues to cycle off and on until the fault is
removed. The open-drain false reporting output FAULT is asserted (active low) during an over-temperature
shutdown condition.

STATE
Figure 44 illustrates the circuit connection for TPS2540/40A with STATE and ADAPTER control signals. If the
adapter is present (ADAPTER = logic 1), the TPS2540/40A supports auto detect operation when STATE = logic
0 (S3/S4/S5, 1.5 A) and CDP operation when STATE = logic 1 (S0, 1.5 A). If the adapter is not present
(ADAPTER = logic 0), the TPS2540/40A disables sleep charge when STATE = logic 0 (S3/S4/S5, power switch
off) and SDP operation when STATE = logic 1 (S0, 0.5 A).

Layout Guidelines
TPS2540/40A/41/41A Placement: Place the TPS2540/40A/41/41A near the USB output connector and 150-µF
OUT pin filter capacitor. Connect the exposed Power PAD to the GND pin and to the system ground plane using
a via array.
IN Pin Bypass Capacitance: Place the 0.1-µF bypass capacitor near the IN pin and make the connection using
a low inductance trace.
D+ and D- Traces: Route in and out traces as controlled impedance differential pairs per the USB specification
and the Intel guideline for USB-2.0. Minimize the use of vias in the high speed data lines.
ESD
The use of a common mode choke in the upstream datapath can provide additional ESD protection from client
side cable insertion transients. In addition, a low capacitance ESD protection array such as the TPD2E001
provides a robust solution. The TPS2540EVM-623 (SLVU401) provides a good example of routing and output
datapath protection.
Using a system board, applying same design rules and protection devices as the TPS2540EVM-623 , the
TPS2540 has been tested to EN61000-4-2. The levels used were 8-kV contact discharge and 15-kV air
discharge. Voltage transients were applied between D+ terminal and the earth ground, and between D- terminal
and the earth ground, V- being connected to earth ground. Tests were performed while both powered and
unpowered. No TPS2540 failures were observed and operation was continuous.
