Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers MP6215DH-LF

The MP6215DH-LF is a single-channel power distribution switch designed to operate with a nominal input voltage of 3.3V or 5V. It features an internal current limiting mechanism to protect against faulty load conditions, allowing for a continuous load of up to 1.5A and a typical current limit of 2.3A. The device includes over-current protection that transitions to a constant current mode during overload conditions, and thermal shutdown protection that activates if the junction temperature exceeds approximately 140¬8C, with recovery occurring once the temperature drops to around 120¬8C. This switch is housed in an MSOP8 package with an exposed pad, suitable for applications such as notebook PCs, set-top boxes, telecom and network systems, PC card hot swap, and USB power distribution. The MP6215DH-LF also offers features like under-voltage lockout, reverse current blocking, and a quiescent current of 140¬µA, making it a versatile choice for various electronic designs.
