MIC2544/2548
Programmable Current Limit High-Side Switch Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC2544 and MIC2548 are integrated high-side power switches optimized for low loss dc power switching and other power management applications, including Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). The MIC2544/48 is a cost-effective, highly integrated solution that requires few external components to satisfy USB and ACPI requirements. Load current management features include a precision resistor-programmable output current-limit and a soft-start circuit which minimizes inrush current when the switch is enabled. Thermal shutdown, along with current-limit, protects the switch and the attached device.
