3A high-side switch with 40 mOhm Rds(on)
The MIC2043-2YM is a single-channel high-side power switch from Microchip Technology, rated for a continuous output current of 3A maximum. The input is non-inverting with an On/Off interface, and the output configuration is a single N-channel MOSFET with a 1:1 input-to-output ratio.
Fault protection set and status flag
The MIC2043-2YM integrates adjustable current limiting, open-load detection, overtemperature shutdown, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO). The status flag output signals when the switch is in fault — useful for a microcontroller to log or retry the load. The slew-rate controlled turn-on limits inrush current into capacitive loads, which prevents the upstream supply from drooping. The 8-SOIC package (0.154" width, 3.90mm body) is a standard footprint for automated assembly.
