Functional Description
The KTS1681 is inserted between the power supply or charger source and the load to be protected. The
overvoltage protection (OVP) switch features an ultra-low 38mΩ (typical) on-resistance MOSFET and protects
low-voltage systems against voltage faults up to +28VDC. An internal clamp also protects the device from input
surge transients up to 100V. If the input IN pin voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold, the internal MOSFET
is turned off to prevent damage to any downstream components connected to the output. A 15ms debounce
time built into the device delays the internal MOSFET turn on time.
The overvoltage protection threshold can be externally programmed with an optional resistor divider to set a
threshold between 4V and 22V. With the OVLO input pin tied to GND (or below the external OVLO select
voltage), the KTS1681 automatically selects the internal OVLO threshold. The internal overvoltage threshold
(VIN_OVLO) is preset to 5.95V typical.
KTS1681 also features a microphone mode which turns off the main power switch allowing the microphone
signal from IN pin to be output at VDET pin without an additional multiplexer circuit.
Device Operation
During normal operation, with CTRL input low, once IN voltage is present, the main power switch connecting IN
and OUT turns on after a 15ms debounce delay (see Functional Diagram). After the debounce delay, a soft-start
limits the inrush current for 2ms (typical), during that time OUT voltage ramps up to IN voltage.
The main power switch turns off, OUT disconnected from IN, if one of the following fault condition becomes true.
The fault conditions are:
• Overvoltage protection mode (OVP) when either VIN > VIN_OVLO or OVLO pin voltage VOVLO > VOVLO_TH (if
a resistor divider is used to program OVLO).
• Undervoltage lockout when VIN below the normal operating range.
• Thermal shutdown.

May 2018 – Revision 04b Page 9 Company Confidential

 KTS1681
Internal Main MOSFET Switch
In normal operating mode (main power switch turned on), the CTRL input must be set to the logic low state
(CTRL = GND). The KTS1681 integrates an N-Channel power MOSFET with ultra-low 38mΩ (typical) on-
resistance between IN and OUT. The MOSFET is internally driven by an internal charge pump supply rail that
generates the gate voltage (VGS) greater than IN.
Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO)
The KTS1681 has a 5.95V (typical) overvoltage threshold. If the IN input voltage is above this threshold, the
internal MOSFET is turned off and OUT is disconnected from IN.
Protected Bus Voltage
The KTS1681 passes a protected VIN voltage through to VDET. The VDET pin can provide up to 1mA of DC
current. VDET contains an internal 6.5V clamp to protect devices connected to VDET, while still allowing the
devices to operate from the VDET voltage. The voltage at VDET is not present while the KTS1681 is in thermal
shutdown or IN is lower than the input operating range.
Microphone Mode
The KTS1681 features a microphone mode which turns off the internal main MOSFET and allows a microphone
signal at IN to pass through to the VDET pin. This enables the user to select the path of IN without an additional
multiplexer circuit. The CTRL input recommended voltage is 3V or higher in order to put the device in microphone
mode.
Thermal-Shutdown Protection
Both the internal main MOSFET and VDET switches are turned off when the junction temperature exceeds
+130°C (typ). The device exits thermal shutdown after the junction temperature cools by +20°C (typ).

Application Information
Input Capacitor
For most applications, connect a 1nF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the device from IN to GND.
During surge voltage transients, the internal input clamp keeps the input IN pin voltage below 40V, so 50V rated
capacitors are ideal for most OVP applications.
OUT Output Capacitor
The internal soft-start function allows the KTS1681 to charge an output capacitor up to 100μF without turning off
due to overcurrent.
External OVLO Adjustment Functionality
If the OVLO pin is connected to ground, KTS1681 uses the factory programmed OVLO value for its internal
OVLO comparator.
If an external resistor-divider is connected to OVLO and VOVLO exceeds the OVLO select voltage, VOVLO_SELECT,
the internal OVLO comparator reads the IN fraction fixed by the external resistor divider. Starting with R1 = 1MΩ
to minimize current consumption, R2 can be calculated from the following formula:

R1
VOVLO _ EXT = VOVLO _ THRESH  (1 + )
R2
This external resistor-divider is separate from the internal resistor-divider circuit. An external resistor-divider
could slow the OVLO response time, affecting the surge protection. An RC divider can be used to improve
response speed. The capacitor can be calculated as follows:

 R1 + R 2 
C 1  5  tR  
 R1R 2 

Where tR is the rise time of the worst-case transient at IN pin (measured from the start of rising edge to the point
where IN reaches VIN_OVLO). See Figure 2.

USB On-The-GO (OTG) Operation

When used in an OTG application the KTS1681 can provide power from OUT to IN regardless of the condition
of the CTRL pin.
When the CTRL pin is LOW (power switch automatically enabled), initially, the OTG voltage applied at OUT will
forward bias the power switch bulk diode and present a voltage drop of approximately 0.7V between OUT and
IN. The maximum current in this mode is limited by the thermal performance of the device and at an ambient
temperature of 25OC
𝟏. 𝟎𝟗𝑾
𝑰𝑴𝑨𝑿 = = 𝟏. 𝟓𝟔𝑨
𝟎. 𝟕𝑽
This is purely a transitionary condition as once the voltage at IN exceeds 2.1V and the debounce time of 15ms
has elapsed, the main power switch will turn fully ON, significantly reducing the voltage drop from OUT to IN.
When the CTRL is HIGH (power switch is OFF), the OTG voltage applied at OUT will also forward bias the
power switch bulk diode, but as the switch will not turn ON unless CTRL is pulled LOW, the high forward voltage
drop of 0.7V and consequent high power dissipation will remain. For this reason, it is highly recommended to
pull CTRL LOW in all OTG applications.
Please note in OTG mode, under no circumstance should any load, or any voltage be connected to VDET.
