Introducing the AP2166MPG-13 Dual Channel Current-Limited Power Switch

Diodes Incorporated, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application-specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analog, and mixed-signal semiconductor markets, presents the AP2166MPG-13, a state-of-the-art dual channel current-limited power switch designed for USB and other hot-swap applications.

This innovative product is specifically crafted to provide a reliable power distribution solution for systems that require multiple power switches. The AP2166MPG-13 integrates two channels, each capable of handling a continuous output current of up to 1A. With its compact package design, this power switch not only saves space but also simplifies the design process in dense PCB layouts.

The AP2166MPG-13 boasts a wide input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, making it versatile for a variety of applications, from battery-powered devices to industrial controls. Its built-in fixed current-limiting circuitry provides protection against overcurrent conditions, which is essential for preventing damage to both the USB ports and the connected devices.

One of the key features of this power switch is its fast transient response time, which is critical for maintaining stable operations during sudden changes in load. Additionally, the AP2166MPG-13 includes thermal shutdown protection to prevent overheating, ensuring safe operation even under high current loads or in high-temperature environments.

For enhanced usability, the AP2166MPG-13 comes with an active high enable input, allowing designers to precisely control the power switch operation through logic signals. This feature is particularly useful for applications that require controlled sequencing or conditional power distribution.

The AP2166MPG-13 is packaged in a small SOP-8 (MSOP-8) package, which is RoHS compliant and contributes to the overall reduction of PCB space requirements. Its reliability and efficiency make it an excellent choice for portable electronics, computing devices, networking hardware, and other systems that demand compact, high-performance power management solutions.

With the AP2166MPG-13, Diodes Incorporated continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering innovative products that meet the evolving needs of the electronics industry.
