MIC2044/2045 Micrel MIC2044/2045
Single Channel, High Current, Low Voltage,
Protected Power Distribution Switch General Description Features The MIC2044 and MIC2045 are high-side MOSFET switches
optimized for general purpose power distribution applications
that require circuit protection. These devices switch up to
5.5V and as low as 0.8V while offering both programmable
current limiting and thermal shutdown to protect the device
and the load. A fault status output is provided to indicate
overcurrent and thermal shutdown fault conditions. Both
devices employ soft-start circuitry to minimize the inrush
current in applications that employ highly capacitive loads.
Additionally, for tighter control over inrush current during start
up, the output slew-rate may be adjusted by an external
capacitor.
The MIC2045 features a auto-reset circuit breaker that latches
the output OFF upon detecting an overcurrent condition
lasting more than 32ms. The output is reset by removing or
reducing the load.
