MIC2073/2074
Dual-Channel Power Distribution Switch
General Description
Features
• 115 mΩ typical RDS(ON)
B
at 5.0 V
The MIC2073/2074 are high-side MOSFET switches
optimized for general-purpose power distribution requiring
circuit protection.
• 210 mΩ maximum RDS(ON) at 5.0 V
B
• 2.7 V to 5.5 V operating range
The MIC2073/2074 are internally current limited and have
thermal shutdown for protecting the device and load.
• 500 mA minimum continuous current per channel
• Short circuit protection with thermal shutdown
• Thermally isolated channels
• Fault status flag (FLGA/B) separate for each channel
• 3ms fault flag delay (TD) eliminates false assertions
• UVLO (Undervoltage Lockout)
The MIC2074 offers “smart” shutdown that reduces current
consumption in fault mode. When a fault occurs due to
thermal shutdown, the output is latched off.
The
MIC2074s’ output will be reset, enabling the output, either
by removing the load or toggling the ENABLE pin.
Both devices employ soft-start circuitry that minimizes
inrush current in applications where highly capacitive loads
are employed.
• Reverse current flow blocking (no “body diode”)
• Circuit breaker mode (MIC2074)
• Logic-compatible inputs
• Soft-start circuit
• Low quiescent current
A fault status output flag is asserted during overcurrent or
thermal shutdown conditions. Transient faults are internally
filtered.
• Pin compatible with the MIC2026/2076
The MIC2073/2074 are available in an 8-pin SOIC.
