Application Note 11
Interfacing PC Card Power Controllers to Logic Controllers

General Description
This application note describes the interface connections between Micrel PCMCIA Power Controllers and industry standard logic controllers from Cirrus Logic, Data Book, Intel, and Vadem. Combining one or two Micrel PC Card Power Controller s and one of these controllers produces a complete PCMCIA-compatible PC Card slot. In most cases, no other components are necessary. This note concentrates on the power control subsystem only. For full details on designing-with and operating the PC Card logic controllers, please refer to the respective manufacturers literature. For detailed specifications and additional information on the MIC2560, MIC2561, MIC2562, and MIC2563 please see their datasheets earlier in this section.

Overview
The MIC2560 is a fully-protected PC Card Power Controller that meets all PCMCIA specifications. It provides full control of both VCC and VPP for one PC Card slot. It features industryleading ON resistances and is available in different control logic configurations for glueless compatibility with the major industry-standard PC Card logic controllers. The MIC2561 is also a fully protected card slot controller, similar to the MIC2560, but has higher ON resistances, enabling its use in price-sensitive applications. It is available in the same MIC2560 pinout as well as in a smaller package that is less than half the size of the MIC2560. The MIC2562 is a new design, providing full functionality from a 3.3V supply. The new MIC2563 is a dual version of the MIC2562 in a SSOP package.

the socket. This clamp has an ON resistance of approximately 1.2k. The Databook DB86184 PCMCIA controller requires 100k pull-down resistors from VCCSEL0, VCCSEL1, VPPSEL0, and VPPSEL1 to ground and 100k pull-up resistors from VCCSEL2 and VCCSEL3 to +3.3V (or +5V). MIC2560-2 pin 8 should be connected to ground. While not required, a 0.1F capacitor from VCC3 IN to ground provides decoupling for the current sense amplifier.

Data Book Controllers

Micrels option 2 PC Card power controllers are designed to interface with Data Book logic controllers. The Data Book devices have individually programmable power supply control pin polarity, which is determined at power-up. Resistors are used to force positive polarity for proper interfacing with the MIC2560-2. Refer to the control logic shown in Table 4 for details. When VCC is deselected (OFF), a MIC2560-2 internal clamp actively pulls-down the output, insuring zero volts on

Intel Controllers
Intel PC Card logic controllers generally interface with the option 0, MIC2560-0 and MIC2561-0. The older Intel 82365 supports two VPP pins per slot, but only one VCC level (5V). Use the MIC2558 PCMCIA Dual Card Slot VPP Switching Matrix to control the additional VPP for each socket. Since the MIC2558 has separate VCC inputs, full independence between VPP2 of slot A and VPP2 of slot B is maintained. Since
+5V

only 5V is available for VCC OUT, connect all MIC2560/ MIC2561 VCC inputs together. These inputs, including both VCC3 IN pins, are rated to 6V, so no damage will occur. Take advantage of the lower ON resistance of the 3.3V VCC switch by using the VCC3_EN control as the VCC enable. Figure 3 shows this configuration.

to six pins. However; the control logic inside the power controller must be significantly more complex to handle serial data protocols. Existing parallel bus power controllers may be adapted for serial control operation. A typical circuit consists of two main blocks: a serial to-parallel converter and an eight-bit latch.

Serial-Interface Logic Controllers

With the advent of the CardBus option, logic controllers need more and more pins to handle the extra functions. Some of the eight pins previously reserved for power control are now employed for these new functions. Converting from a parallel control bus to a serial bus is one answer: this change frees up
