High-side load switch with integrated protection
The Microchip MIC2097-1YMT-TR is a single-channel, high-side P-channel load switch designed for general-purpose power distribution. The switch is controlled by a logic-level On/Off input (non-inverting) and requires no external Vcc supply — the gate drive is self-biased from the input voltage.
Slew-rate control and fault protection for hot-swap and capacitive loads
Slew-rate controlled turn-on limits inrush current when the switch connects a capacitive load or a downstream rail with bulk decoupling. This prevents the upstream supply from drooping during power-up — useful in hot-swap, USB port, or peripheral-rail sequencing applications. The part also integrates adjustable current limiting (set via an external resistor), over-temperature shutdown, and under-voltage lockout (UVLO) that holds the switch off until the input rises above the UVLO threshold.
Temperature grade and package — designed for tight spaces and hot environments
The 6-TMLF package (1.6x1.6 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed thermal pad allows the heat to sink into the PCB copper.
