General Description
Features
TheMIC2526isadualintegratedhigh-sidepowerswitchwith
independent enable and flag functions, optimized for self-
powered and bus-powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) appli-
cations. Few external components are necessary to satisfy
USB requirements.
• Compliant to USB specifications
• UL Recognized Component
• 2 independent switches
• 3V to 5.5V input
• 500mA minimum continuous load current per port
• 140mΩ maximum on-resistance
• 1.25A maximum short circuit current limit
• Individual open-drain fault flag pins
• 110µA typical on-state supply current
• 1µA typical off-state supply current
• Output can be forced higher than input (off-state)
• Thermal shutdown
• 2.4V typical undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
• 1ms turn-on (soft-start) and fast turnoff
• Active-high or active-low enable versions
• 8-pin SOIC and DIP packages
TheMIC2526satisfiesthefollowingUSBrequirements: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
momentaryvoltagedropontheupstreamportthatmayoccur
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.
Applications
• USB host and self-powered hubs
• USB bus-powered hubs
The MIC2526 is available in active-high and active-low ver-
sions in 8-pin DIP and SOIC packages.
• Hot plug-in power supplies
• Battery-charger circuits
