MIC2529
Single-Channel USB Power Controller
Advance Information
General Description
The MIC2529 is a high-side power switch optimized for self-
powered (individual port switching) and bus-powered (ganged
port switching) Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub applications.
An on-board voltage regulator provides the 3.3V supply
voltage needed for many USB microcontrollers reducing
board component count.
The MIC2529 satisfies the following USB requirements: it
supplies up to 500mA as required by USB downstream
devices; the switch’s low on-resistance meets USB voltage
drop requirements; fault current is limited to typically 750mA,
well below the UL 25VA safety requirement; and a flag output
is available to indicate fault conditions 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.
A low-dropout (LDO) regulator provides 3.3V at loads up to
100mA and includes an enable pin for low current shutdown.
Both enable inputs are compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic.
Thermal shutdown prevents catastrophic failure from high-
current loads.
The MIC2529 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package with
active-high or active-low enable circuitry on switch.

Pin Function
Fault Flag (Output): Active-low, open-drain output. Indicates overcurrent and
thermal shutdown switch conditions.
Switch Output: Output MOSFET source. Typically connected to switched
side of load. Pin 2 and 7 must be connected together externally.
Supply Voltage Input. Supply to switch and regulator. Connect to positive
supply.
3.3V Regulator Output
Ground: Supply return.
Regulator Enable (Input): Logic-compatible input. Logic high = enable, logic
low or open = shutdown. Do not float.
Switch Enable (Input): Logic-compatible enable input. High input = 2.1V
typical. Low input = 1.9V typical. (-1 active high, -2 active low) Do not float.

Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Off is
≤
0.8V and on is
≥
2.4V for the MIC2529-1 switch. Off is
≥
2.4V and on is
≤
0.8V for the MIC2529-2 switch. The enable input has
approximately 200mV of hysteresis. See control threshold charts. Limits do not include 3VOUT load current of 100µA during test.
See “Functional Characteristics: Current-Limit Response” photo.
Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V
differential.
