MIC2545A/2549A
Programmable Current Limit High-Side Switch
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC2545A and MIC2549A 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 MIC2545A/
49A 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 adjustable current-limit, protects the switch and the attached device.
The MIC2545A/49A’s open-drain flag output is used to indicate current-limiting or thermal shutdown to a local controller.
The MIC2549A 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 MIC2549A.
The MIC2545A and MIC2549A are available in active-high
and active-low enable versions in 8-pin DIP, SOIC, and
TSSOP packages.
