OMNIVISION WS4694C Image Sensor 
Descriptions
The WS4694C is a small, low RON, single channel load switch with controlled slew rate. The device operates over an input voltage range of 2.6 V to 5.5 V. The device supports current limit from 0.05 A to 2 A.
The controlled rising time of the device greatly reduces inrush current caused by large bulk load capacitance, thereby reducing or eliminating power supply drop. The WS4694C has a True Reverse-Current Blocking (TRCB) function that obstructs unwanted reverse current from VOUT to VIN during ON and OFF states. The small size and low RON device is designed for space constrained battery powered applications. The wide input voltage range of the switch makes it a versatile solution for many different voltage rails.
The WS4694C are available in a CSP-9L package. Standard products are Pb-free and Halogen-free.

Typical characteristics
TA = 25oC, VIN = VEN = 5 V, CIN = 1 μF, COUT = 1 μF, unless otherwise noted. 
Application Information
Input Capacitor
To limit the voltage drop on the input supply caused by transient in-rush currents when the switch turns on, a capacitor needs to be placed between the VIN and the GND. Higher values of CIN can be used to further reduce the voltage drop in high-current applications.
Output capacitor
An output capacitor needs to be placed between the VOUT and the GND pin. The capacitor prevents parasitic board inductance from forcing VOUT below GND when the switch is on. The capacitor also prevents reverse inrush current from a voltage spike that could damage the device in the case of a VOUT short.
Fault Reporting
Upon the detection of an over-current, #OC_FLAG signals the fault by activating LOW.
Current Limiting
The current limit ensures that the current through the switch does not exceed the maximum set value, while not limiting the minimum value. The current at which the part’s limit is adjustable through the selection of the external resistor connected to the ISET pin. Information for selecting the resistor is found in the section below. The device acts as a constant-current source when the load draws more than the maximum value set by the device until thermal shutdown occurs. The device recovers if the die temperature drops below the threshold.
Under-Voltage Lockout
The Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) turns off the switch if the input voltage drops below the lockout threshold. With the EN pin activated, the input voltage rising above the UVLO threshold releases the lockout and enables the switch.
True Reverse-Current Blocking
The true reverse-current blocking feature protects the input source against current flow from output to input regardless of whether the load switch is on or not.
Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown protects the die from internally or externally generated excessive temperature. During an over-temperature condition, the switch is turned off. The switch automatically turns on again if the temperature of the die drops below the threshold temperature.
Setting Current Limit
The current limit is set with an external resistor connected between the ISET and GND pins.
The current limit is calculated as the following: 
The resistor tolerance of 1% or less is recommended

Layout Guide
For best performance, all traces need to be as short as possible. To be the most effective, the input and output capacitors need to be placed close to the device to minimize the effect that parasitic trace inductance might have on normal and short-circuit operation. Using wide traces for VIN, VOUT, GND helps minimize parasitic electrical effects along with the case-to-ambient thermal impedance.
