Microchip MIC2026-1YM Power Distribution Switch Dual Channel SOIC-8

The Microchip MIC2026-1YM Power Distribution Switch is a dual-channel high-side switch with a 900 mA current limit, designed for general-purpose power distribution that requires circuit protection.

Overview

The MIC2026-1YM protects both the device and the load through internal current limiting and thermal shutdown. Its two thermally isolated channels each offer a maximum on-resistance of 140 mΩ, and the device has low quiescent current. It is supplied in an SOIC-8 package with eight pins and is rated for a 5.5 V input.

Key Features

• Smart thermal shutdown that reduces current consumption in fault modes
• Output latched off after a thermal shutdown fault until the faulty load is removed
• Output reset by removing the load or toggling the enable input
• Soft-start circuitry that minimises inrush current in applications with highly capacitive loads
• Fault status output flag asserted during overcurrent and thermal shutdown conditions, with a 3 ms filter to eliminate false assertions
• Under-voltage lockout
• Reverse current flow blocking (no body diode)
• Circuit breaker mode
• Logic-compatible inputs
• Active-high enable input

Applications

Suitable for a wide range of applications in consumer electronics and power management, the switch is pin-compatible with the MIC2526 and provides a straightforward solution for protecting and controlling power distribution in your designs.

Choose the Microchip MIC2026-1YM Power Distribution Switch when you need a dual-channel high-side switch with integrated current limiting, thermal shutdown and soft-start in an SOIC-8 package.
