General Description

The MIC2095/97/98/99 family of switches are self-

contained, current-limiting, high-side power switches, ideal

for power-control applications. These switches are useful

for general purpose power distribution applications such as

digital televisions (DTV), printers, set-top boxes (STB),

PCs, PDAs, and other peripheral devices.

The current limiting switches feature either a fixed

0.5A/0.9A or resistor programmable output current limit.

The family also has fault blanking to eliminate false noise-

induced, over current conditions. After an over-current

condition, these devices automatically restart if the enable

pin remains active. The MIC2097 switch offers a unique

new patented Kickstart feature, which allows momentary

high-current surges up to the secondary current limit

currents, such as capacitors.

The MIC2095/97/98/99 family of switches provides under-

voltage, over-temperature shutdown, and output fault

status reporting. The family also provides either an active

low or active high, logic level enable pin.

The MIC2095/97/98/99 family is offered in a space saving

1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin MLF
