MAX1602EEE-T

Overview

The MAX1602EEE-T is a single-channel power distribution switch IC designed for Cardbus and PCMCIA applications. It manages VCC and VP power rails with low-resistance switches and soft-switching action to comply with PCMCIA specifications for 3V/5V switching. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, drawing a typical supply current of 20µA. It features an active-low enable input and is housed in a 16-SSOP package. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
