MIC2544/2548
Programmable Current Limit High-Side Switch
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC2544 and MIC2548 are integrated high-side power
switches optimized for low loss dc power switching and other
power management applications, including Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). The MIC2544/48 is a
cost-effective, highly integrated solution that requires few
external components to satisfy USB and ACPI requirements.
Load current management features include a precision resistor-programmable output current-limit and a soft-start circuit
which minimizes inrush current when the switch is enabled.
Thermal shutdown, along with current-limit, protects the
switch and the attached device.
The MIC2544/48’s open-drain flag output is used to indicate
current-limiting or thermal shutdown to a local controller. The
MIC2548 has an additional internal latch which turns the
output off upon thermal shutdown providing robust fault
control. The enable signal is compatible with both 3V and 5V
logic, and is also used as the thermal shutdown latch reset for
the MIC2548.
The MIC2544 and MIC2548 are available in active-high and
active-low enable versions in the 8-pin SOP (small-outline
package) and 8-pin MSOP (micro-small-outline package).
