MIC2524/2527
General Description
The MIC2524 and MIC2527 are cost-effective high-side
power switches with four independently controlled channels,
optimized for self-powered and bus-powered Universal Se-
rial Bus (USB) applications. Few external components are
necessary to satisfy USB requirements.
The MIC2524/7 satisfies the following USB requirements:
each switch channel supplies up to 500mA as required by
USB downstream devices; the switch’s low on-resistance
meets USB voltage drop requirements; fault current is limited
to typically 750mA, well below the UL 25VA safety require-
ments; and a flag output is available to indicate fault condi-
tions to the local USB controller. Soft start eliminates the
momentary voltage drop on the upstream port that may occur
when the switch is enabled in bus-powered applications.
Additional features include thermal shutdown to prevent
catastrophic switch failure from high-current loads,
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) to ensure that the device re-
mains off unless there is a valid input voltage present, and
3.3V and 5V logic compatible enable inputs.
The MIC2524/7 is available in active-high and active-low
versions in 16-pin DIP and SOIC packages.
