Product details
Overview
PI5PD2068UEE from Diodes Incorporated is a 70mΩ high-side N-channel MOSFET power-distribution switch optimized for USB 5V bus power control in self- and bus-powered hubs. It delivers 2.1A continuous current, features accurate 2.85A typical current limiting, thermal shutdown at 135°C, and reverse current blocking - enabling robust hot-plug protection in laptop motherboard and set-top box USB power rails.
For engineers reviewing the PI5PD2068UEE datasheet, PI5PD2068UEE pinout, PI5PD2068UEE application, or PI5PD2068UEE equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7–5.5V input range, 0.6ms typical rise time, deglitched /OC fault reporting, <1μA standby supply current, and EP-MSOP-8 package with exposed thermal pad tied to GND.
Technical Context
The PI5PD2068UEE integrates a charge-pump gate driver to fully enhance its internal 70mΩ N-channel MOSFET across the full 2.7–5.5V input range. Its constant-current limiting activates at 2.85A (typ.), entering foldback mode during sustained overloads while asserting an open-drain /OC signal after a 4–15ms deglitch window.
Thermal protection operates independently of current limit: junction temperature exceeding 135°C triggers immediate shutdown, with automatic recovery at ~125°C due to 10°C hysteresis. Under-voltage lockout disables the switch below ~2.0V on IN, preventing erratic turn-on during brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 70 mΩ @ 5V/3.3V IN - ensures ≤105 mV voltage drop at 1.5A, meeting USB 5V rail drop requirements. |
| Continuous Current | 2.1 A - supports full-power USB 2.0 downstream port operation (500 mA × 4 ports). |
| Current Limit Threshold | 2.85 A (typ.) - provides margin above 2.1A max load while avoiding nuisance tripping under inrush. |
| Rise Time | 0.6 ms (typ.) - limits inrush di/dt to protect upstream source and downstream capacitors. |
| Standby Supply Current | 0.1 μA (typ.) - enables ultra-low-power disable state for battery-backed systems. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.0 V (min), 2.5 V (max) - guarantees clean startup only when stable 2.7V+ supply is present. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 135 °C (trip), 125 °C (recovery) - prevents permanent damage during sustained short-circuit faults. |
Pinout & Package
PI5PD2068UEE uses an 8-pin Exposed-Pad MSOP (EP-MSOP-8) package with thermal pad internally connected to GND. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for effective heat dissipation and electrical grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference and thermal sink | Primary return path; connects internally to exposed pad for thermal conduction and noise reduction. |
| 2,3 IN | Power input | Dual parallel input pins reduce trace resistance and inductance; accepts 2.7–5.5V USB-compatible supply. |
| 4 /EN | Active-low enable | Logic low (≤0.8V) enables switch; high (≥2V) disables it - compatible with 3.3V/5V CMOS/TTL. |
| 5 /OC | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low during overcurrent or thermal fault; requires external pull-up (e.g., 100kΩ) to VIN. |
| 6,7,8 OUT | Power output | Three parallel output pins minimize voltage drop and thermal stress under 2.1A load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in soft-start | Controls 0.6ms output ramp to limit inrush current into large downstream capacitance (e.g., 100µF). |
| Deglitched /OC reporting | 14ms minimum assertion delay prevents false trips from transient overloads or ESD events. |
| Reverse current blocking | Prevents backflow from OUT to IN when disabled - critical for multi-rail USB hub isolation. |
| Charge-pump gate drive | Enables full enhancement of N-MOSFET at 2.7V IN, eliminating need for external high-side driver. |
| UL Recognition (E341484) | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in consumer and industrial USB applications. |
Applications
| Laptop USB Hub Power Control | TV/Set-Top Box USB Port Switching |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current-limited power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB2036IRHBR | Integrated USB 2.0 hub controller + power switches; 120mΩ RDS(on), no /OC reporting. | Replaces discrete switch + microcontroller logic; limited to USB hub topology only. | Select when full hub functionality (transceiver, PHY, repeater) is required alongside power control. |
| TPS2051BDBVR | 2.2A rated, 95mΩ RDS(on), 1.5ms rise time, no reverse blocking, SO-8 only. | Lacks reverse current blocking and thermal hysteresis; lower accuracy current limit (±25%). | Choose for cost-sensitive non-USB applications where reverse leakage is not critical and thermal cycling is infrequent. |
Compared with TUSB2036IRHBR and TPS2051BDBVR, PI5PD2068UEE offers superior USB-specific optimization: tighter current limit accuracy (±15%), integrated reverse blocking, faster rise time, and EP-MSOP-8 thermal performance - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability USB power distribution.

FAQ
What is the function of the /OC pin, and how should it be interfaced?
The /OC pin is an open-drain output that asserts low during overcurrent or thermal shutdown events. It requires an external pull-up resistor to VIN; a 100kΩ resistor is recommended to minimize quiescent current while ensuring reliable logic-level detection by a microcontroller GPIO or USB controller interrupt pin. The /OC remains latched low until the fault condition clears and the device recovers.
Does PI5PD2068UEE support reverse current blocking, and under what conditions?
Yes - PI5PD2068UEE blocks reverse current flow from OUT to IN when disabled (/EN high), due to its N-channel high-side architecture and integrated body-diode control. This occurs automatically with no external components required and is verified across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) and input voltage range (2.7–5.5V).
How does the thermal shutdown recover, and is manual reset needed?
Recovery is fully automatic: once the junction temperature falls below ~125°C (10°C hysteresis below 135°C trip point), the device re-enables the power switch without external intervention. No /EN toggling or power cycle is required - the switch cycles on/off autonomously during persistent overload until the fault is removed.
Can PI5PD2068UEE be used with 3.3V input supplies, and how does RDS(on) change?
Yes - it operates across 2.7–5.5V. At 3.3V IN, RDS(on) increases to 75 mΩ (typ.), still maintaining <160 mV drop at 2.1A. This is within USB voltage-drop specifications and confirmed by characterization data across temperature, ensuring reliable operation in dual-rail (3.3V/5V) embedded systems.
