MIC2010-1PCQS

Controllers Overview

The MIC2010-1PCQS is a dual USB power controller manufactured by Microchip Technology, formerly Micrel. It operates within an input voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports a quiescent current of 16µA. The device functions as a USB power switch with integrated control logic for hot-plug applications. It is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package and is designed for managing power distribution in USB host or hub environments.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Dual channel architecture for independent USB port power management
• Integrated control logic for automated hot-plug detection and response
• Low quiescent current consumption for efficient power usage

Controllers Applications

• USB host controllers requiring per-port power switching
• USB hub designs needing individual port protection
• Hot-plug capable systems requiring controlled power sequencing

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors due to the part's obsolete status. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements as the specific suffix indicates leaded packaging. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability documentation for quality assurance in production environments.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component for legacy USB designs requiring dual-channel power control. Evaluate thermal performance within the QSOP package constraints. Consider availability challenges associated with obsolete status when planning long-term production runs.

Controllers Part Context

This IC belongs to the Microchip USB power controller family, originally developed under the Micrel brand. It serves as a specialized interface solution for managing electrical connections in USB peripheral devices. The part represents a dedicated hardware approach to power switching distinct from software-controlled solutions.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available for this obsolete component. Designers should evaluate newer Microchip USB power controllers with updated packaging and RoHS compliance for modern replacements.
