General Description
The RT9706 is a cost-effective, low voltage, single
N-Channel MOSFET high-side power switch, optimized
for self-powered and bus-powered Universal Serial Bus
(USB) application s. The RT9706 equipped with a charge
pump circuitry to drive the internal MOSFET switch; the
switch's low R
requirements; and a flag output is available to indicate
fault conditions to the local USB controller.
Additional features include soft-start to limit inrush current
during plug-in, thermal shutdown to prevent catastrophic
switch failure from high-current loads, under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) to ensure that the device remains off
unless there is a valid input voltage present, lower
quiescent current as 25μA making this device ideal for
portable battery operated equipment.

Operating Guideline
1. Connect input power (2V< VIN < 5.5V) and in put ground to VIN a nd GND pins respectively.
2. Connect positive end and negative end of load to VOUT and GND pins respectively .
3. There is a jumper switch EN (at upper site). When the EN is set at LOW (<0.8), R T9706 will be turn on. To turn off the
RT9706, the EN should be set at HIGH (>2V).
