The ST890 is a low voltage, P-Channel MOSFET
power switch intended for high side load switching
applications.
This s w itch operates with inputs from 2 .7V ti 5.5V,
making it ideal for both 3V and 5V syst ems.
Internal current limiting circuitry protects the input
supplyagainstoverload.Thermaloverload
protection limits power dissipation and junction
temperatures.
The ST890’s maxmimum current limits is 1.2A.
The current limit through the switch is programed
with a resistor from SET to groung. The S T890 is
available in SO-8 package. Main applications are:
PCMCIA slots, Access bus slots, Portable
equipment.
