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 500m A minimum per channel satisfying the USB continuous output current specification. In the S3 state the current-limit can be reduced to only 100m A 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...
