Microchip | MIC2015-0.5YM6-TR

The MIC2015-0.5YM6 TR is a current limiting, high-side power switches, designed for general purpose power distribution and control in PCs, PDAs, printers and other self-powered systems.

The MIC2015-0.5YM6 TR’s primary functions are current limiting and power switching. They are thermally protected and will shut down should their internal temperature reach unsafe levels, protecting both the device and the load, under high current or fault conditions. Features include fault reporting, with fault blanking to eliminate noise-induced false alarms, output slew rate limiting and under voltage detection. Both devices are fully self-contained, with the current limit value being factory set to one of several convenient levels. The MIC2015 offers a unique new feature: Kickstart™, which allows momentary high current surges to pass unrestricted without sacrificing overall system safety. The MIC2005 and MIC2015 are excellent choices for USB and IEEE 1394 (FireWire) applications or for any system where current limiting and power control are desired.  The MIC2015-0.5YM6 TR is offered in space saving 6 pin SOT-23 packages.
