The MIC2310-1ZTS-TR from Microchip Technology is a high-performance, single-channel Power Distribution Switch designed for applications that require efficient power management. This device is particularly suited for USB and other hot-swap applications where a load needs to be turned on and off in a controlled manner.

Key Features

• Integrated Single Channel: The MIC2310-1ZTS-TR comes with a single integrated channel for power distribution, simplifying design and reducing component count.
• High-Side Switch: As a high-side switch, this device allows current to flow when the switch is closed, ensuring minimal voltage drop across the switch and providing a more efficient power path.
• Over-Current Protection: The device features built-in over-current protection to safeguard the system and the load from damage due to excessive currents.
• Thermal Shutdown: Thermal shutdown functionality is included to prevent overheating, enhancing system reliability and longevity.
• Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO): The MIC2310-1ZTS-TR includes an under-voltage lockout feature that ensures the switch remains off if the input voltage is below a certain threshold, protecting the device and the system.
• Controlled Rise Time: The switch has a controlled rise time to reduce inrush current, which is particularly important in USB power applications to meet USB specifications.
• Active High Enable: The enable input is active high, which means the device is turned on when the enable pin is driven to a high voltage level.
• Low Quiescent Current: Designed for energy efficiency, the MIC2310-1ZTS-TR boasts a low quiescent current, reducing power consumption when the switch is in the off state.
• Small Package: Available in a small, lead-free 6-pin thin SOT-23 package, the MIC2310-1ZTS-TR is ideal for space-constrained applications.
