USB port power switch with adjustable current limit
The 73 mOhm typical on-resistance keeps the voltage drop under 220 mV at full load, which matters when the downstream device is already operating near the USB voltage tolerance floor.
Protection set and fault reporting
Built-in protection covers the two failure modes that kill USB ports: over-current and over-temperature. The current limit is adjustable via an external resistor — you set the trip point to match the cable gauge or connector rating, not the other way around. When a fault trips, the Status Flag output (open-drain, active low) tells the host controller to log the event or retry the port. The switch itself is self-recovering after the fault clears.
The 16-WFQFN with exposed pad (3x3 mm) is a compact footprint for space-constrained USB hubs, docking stations, or automotive USB charge ports.
No end-of-life notification, no last-time-buy window to track. For new designs this means standard distribution availability with no forced redesign horizon.
