Microchip Technology, Inc. Integrated Circuits (ICs) - Power Management (PMIC) - Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers MIC2074-2YM

The MIC2074-2YM is a high-side MOSFET power distribution switch designed for general-purpose applications requiring circuit protection. It operates within a voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and can handle a continuous current of 500 mA per channel. The device features thermal shutdown and current limiting to protect both the switch and the load, with a "smart" shutdown mode that reduces current consumption during fault conditions. The MIC2074-2YM includes a fault status output flag that indicates overcurrent or thermal shutdown events, and it employs soft-start circuitry to minimize inrush current when driving capacitive loads. The device is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC and is suitable for applications such as USB peripherals, notebook PCs, and ACPI power distribution. It is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -40¬8C to +85¬8C and is lead-free.
