MIC2537
Quad Power Distribution Switch
Final Information
General Description
The MIC2537 is a cost-effective high-side power switch with
four independently controlled channels, optimized for bus-
powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications. Few exter-
nal components are necessary to satisfy USB requirements.
The MIC2537 satisfies the following USB requirements: each
switch channel supplies up to 100mA as required by USB
bus-powered downstream devices; fault current is limited to
typically 250mA, 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
momentary voltage drop on the upstream port that may occur
when the switch is enabled in bus-powered applications.
Additional features include thermal shutdown to prevent
catastrophic switch failure from high-current loads and 3.3V
and 5V logic compatible enable inputs.
The MIC2537 is available in active-high and active-low ver-
sions in a 16-lead SOP package.
