The AP22804AW5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single channel, current limited integrated high-side power switch optimized for Universal Serial Bus (USB) and other hot-swap applications. This power switch is designed to operate from 3.0V to 5.5V, making it suitable for a wide range of products such as laptops, desktops, servers, and USB peripherals.

With its fast short-circuit response time and under-voltage lockout (UVLO), the AP22804AW5-7 ensures safe operation of the device it is protecting. The built-in over-current and thermal protection features prevent damage to the host and peripheral devices from overloading or excessive power dissipation. The device also supports a controlled rise time to reduce inrush current, which is particularly beneficial for USB hot-plugging scenarios.

The AP22804AW5-7 comes in a small 6-pin SOT-25 package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications. Its compact size does not compromise on performance; with a 2A continuous current limit capability, it can handle most USB power requirements with ease. Furthermore, the switch provides a flag output (FLG) to indicate fault conditions to the system microcontroller, and an enable input (EN) to provide on/off control.

Key features of the AP22804AW5-7 include:

• Single channel high-side power switch
• Input voltage range: 3.0V to 5.5V
• Continuous load current: 2A
• Fast short-circuit response time
• Built-in over-current and thermal protection
• Controlled rise time for reduced inrush current
• Under-voltage lockout (UVLO)
• Flag output for fault indication
