MIC2546/2547
Dual Programmable Current Limit Switch
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC2546 and MIC2547 are integrated high-side dual
power switches optimized for low loss dc power switching and
other power management applications, including Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). The MIC2546/47
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 MIC2546/47’s open-drain flag outputs are used to indicate current-limiting or thermal shutdown to a local controller.
The MIC2547 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 MIC2547.
The MIC2546 and MIC2547 are available in active-high and
active-low enable versions in 16-pin TSSOP and SOP
packages.
