7.3 USB Bus Powered with Power Switching Confiduration
Figure 7.3 Bus Powered with Power Switching Configuration
USB Bus powered circuits need to be able to power down in USB suspend mode in order to meet the <=
500μA (2.5mA with remote wake-up enabled) total USB suspend current requirement, including external
logic. Some external logic can power itself down into a low current state by monitoring the PWREN#
signal. For external logic that cannot power itself down in this way, the FT245R provides a simple but
effective way of turning off power to external circuitry during USB suspend.
Figure 7.3 shows how to use a discrete P-Channel Logic Level MOSFET to control the power to external
logic circuits. A suitable device would be an International Rectifier (www.irf.com) IRLML6402, or
equivalent. It is recommended that a “soft start” circuit consisting of a 1kΩ series resistor and a 0.1μF
capacitor are used to limit the current surge when the MOSFET turns on. Without the soft start circuit
there is a danger that the transient power surge of the MOSFET turning on will reset the FT245R, or the
USB host / hub controller. The values used here allow attached circuitry to power up with a slew rate of
~12.5V per millisecond, in other words the output voltage will transition from GND to 5V in
approximately 400 microseconds.
Alternatively, a dedicated power switch I.C. with inbuilt “soft-start” can be used instead of a MOSFET. A
suitable power switch I.C. for such an application would be a Micrel (www.micrel.com) MIC2025-2BM or
equivalent.
