MIC2072

MIC2012 MIC2012/MIC2072 USB Power Controller Micrel General Description The MIC2012 is a dual channel USB power switch designed to support the power distribution requirements for USB Wakeup from the ACPI S3 state. The MIC2012 will directly switch its two outputs between a 5V main supply and a 5V auxiliary supply normally provided in ATX style power supplies. The MIC2012 will adjust its current-limit threshold according to the ACPI state it is in. In the normal active S0 state the current-limit is set at 500mA minimum per channel satisfying the USB continuous output current specification. In the S3 state the current-limit can be reduced to only 100mA per channel to minimize the current that is supplied by the auxiliary supply thereby ensuring that voltage regulation is maintained even during fault conditions. The MIC2012 provides make-before-break switching to ensure glitch-free transitions between the S3 and S0 states. Each channel is also thermally isolated from the other so that ...
