MIC2015-0.8YM6TX

Overview

The MIC2015-0.8YM6TX is a single-channel, high-side power distribution switch manufactured by Microchip Technology in the SOT-23-6 surface-mount package. It utilizes a P-channel MOSFET architecture to manage load connections within electronic circuits. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports a maximum output current of 800mA. Key electrical characteristics include a typical on-resistance of 70 milliohms and an input type that is non-inverting. The component is designed for operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated fixed current limiting and thermal shutdown protection mechanisms
• Controlled slew rate functionality to minimize inrush current during activation
• Non-inverting logic interface for straightforward control signal integration

Applications

• General-purpose power distribution switching in embedded systems
• Load management for peripheral devices requiring overcurrent protection
• Hot-swap applications involving controlled power sequencing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TX' against official Microchip documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SOT-23-6 footprints during PCB layout. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability. Confirm that the operating voltage and current requirements align with the system design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, single-channel high-side switch with integrated protection is required. The 800mA current rating suits low-power peripheral loads. Consider the 70 milliohm on-resistance for efficiency calculations. The non-inverting control simplifies driver interface design compared to active-low alternatives. Verify that the 2.5V to 5.5V supply range matches the system's available power rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC2015 family of power switches from Microchip Technology, formerly Micrel. The series focuses on providing robust protection features in small form factors. The YM6 designation indicates the SOT-23-6 package variant. This family is commonly used in consumer electronics and industrial control applications where space-saving and reliable load switching are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers include the MIC2005-0.8YM6TR. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
