Either a P-channel or N-channel MOSFET can be used as the pass element, depending on the purpose of the load switch, but an N-channel MOSFET provides lower on-resistance than the P-channel MOSFET.

The circuit in Fig. 1 shows a typical hot-swap or soft-switch circuit with a high-side n-channel MOSFET. This circuit is placed between an always-on power supply and a load.

Toshiba’s new 100V N-ch power MOSFET with low On-resistance and an expanded safe operating area supports miniaturization of power supply circuits.

However, all circuits, including the P-channel planar MOSFET and the gate-drive and level-shift circuit, are “integrated” on a single piece of semiconductor material. Figure 4: Typical, simplified ...
