MIC2042/2043
Single Channel, High Current, Low
Voltage, Protected Power Distribution Switch
General Description
The MIC2042 and MIC2043 are high-side
MOSFET switches optimized for general purpose power distribution applications which require circuit protection.
The devices switch up to 5.
5V and as low as 0.
8V while offering both programmable current limiting and thermal shutdown to protect the device and the load.
A fault status output is provided in order to detect overcurrent and thermal shutdown fault conditions.
Both devices employ soft-start circuitry to minimize the inrush current in applications that employ highly capacitive loads.
Additionally, for tighter contr...
