DESCRIPTION
The MPQ5072 is a programmable load switch that provides 1A of load protection across a 0.5V to 5.5V voltage range. With low RDS(ON) in a tiny package, the MPQ5072 provides a highly efficient, space-saving solution for notebooks, tablets, and other portable device applications.
The MPQ5072’s soft start (SS) function avoids inrush current during circuit start-up. The MPQ5072 also provides a programmable softstart time, output discharge functions, overcurrent protection (OCP), and thermal shutdown.
The maximum load at the output source is current-limited, which is accomplished by utilizing a sense FET topology.
The magnitude of the current limit is controlled by an external resistor from the ILIM pin to ground (GND).
