The MIC2075-2BMM-TR is a robust, high-performance single-channel power distribution switch from Microchip Technology, designed for USB and other hot-swap applications. This component is an integral part of modern electronic systems where it ensures controlled distribution of power to peripheral devices, thereby protecting both the host and the devices from electrical faults.
Key Features
- Current Limiting: The switch features an accurate and programmable current limit that prevents damage to the host power supply from overcurrent conditions. This is particularly crucial in USB applications where multiple devices may draw power from a single port.
- Thermal Shutdown: To safeguard the system from excessive heat, the MIC2075-2BMM-TR includes a thermal shutdown mechanism that automatically turns off the switch in the event of an over-temperature condition.
- Under-voltage Lockout (UVLO): The device ensures that it operates only when the input voltage is within a safe range, preventing malfunctions caused by insufficient supply voltage.
- Reverse Current Protection: This feature prevents current from flowing backward through the switch, which is essential for protecting the host device when the power is removed.
Applications
The MIC2075-2BMM-TR is ideal for a variety of applications where power distribution and protection are critical. These include:
- USB hubs, peripherals, and powered devices
- Hot-swap power supplies
- Portable consumer electronics
- Computing and storage systems with peripheral power control
Package and Availability
The device is available in a small 8-pin MSOP (Micro Small Outline Package) that is suitable for space-constrained applications. The 'TR' suffix indicates that the device is provided in tape and reel packaging, which is optimized for automated assembly processes. As with all Microchip products, the MIC2075-2BMM-TR is backed by Microchip's commitment to quality and reliability, making it a trusted choice for engineers and designers looking for a power distribution switch solution.
