MIC2505/2506
Single 2A / Dual 1A / High-Side Switches
General Description
The MIC2505, MIC2505-1, MIC2505-2, and MIC2506 are single and dual integrated high-side power switches that consist of TTL compatible control/enable inputs, a charge pump, and protected N-channel MOSFETs. The MIC2505/6 family can be used instead of separate high-side drivers and MOSFETs in many low-voltage applications. The MIC2505/6 family controls voltages ranging from 2.7V to 7.5V. The MIC2505-series can deliver at least 2A continuous current while the MIC2506 can deliver at least 1A continuous current from each output. A slow turn-on feature prevents high inrush current when switching capacitive loads. The internal control circuitry is powered from the same 2.7V to 7.5V.
