Microchip | MIC2043-1YM-TR

The MIC2043-1YM TR is a high-side MOSFET switches optimized for general purpose power distribution applications which require circuit protection.

The devices switch up to 5.5 V and as low as 0.8 V while offering both programmable current limiting and thermal shutdown to protect the device and the load. A fault status output is provided in order to detect overcurrent and thermal shutdown fault conditions. Both devices employ soft-start circuitry to minimize the inrush current in applications that employ highly capacitive loads. Additionally, for tighter control over inrush current during start-up, the output slew-rate may be adjusted by an external capacitor. The MIC2043-1YM TR features a auto-reset circuit breaker mode that latches the output off upon detecting an overcurrent condition lasting more than 28 ms. The output is reset by removing or reducing the load.
