Description
USB power distribution switches are high-side N-channel MOSFET switches with built-in overcurrent protection and low on-state resistance.
Features
- low on-state resistance to meet the USB requirement for voltage drop and regulation. The switch is controlled by a shutdown input that is compatible with 3V and 5V logic. The device is active when the shutdown input is low. See SC2051 for an active high version. The device provides short circuit current limiting at a value of less than 1.0A, well below the USB limit of 5A. During an overcurrent condition the device provides a fault notification to signal the USB controller. An integrated thermal.
