MIC2015-0.8YML-TR

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Overview

The MIC2015-0.8YML-TR is a high-side power distribution switch manufactured by Microchip Technology, featuring a P-channel MOSFET output in a compact VDFN-6 (2x2 mm) package. It operates within a load voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports a maximum continuous output current of 800mA with a typical on-resistance of 70 milliohms. The device integrates fixed current limiting and overtemperature protection, ensuring robust fault management. Designed for surface mount installation, it functions across an ambient temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and utilizes a non-inverted open/switch interface.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix YM6 versus YML when sourcing replacements, as package dimensions differ between SOT-23-6 and VDFN-6 configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Microchip documentation prior to integration. Ensure PCB footprint matches the 2x2 mm VDFN-6 thermal pad requirements for proper heat dissipation and mechanical stability during assembly processes.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise current limiting without adjustable thresholds, as indicated by the 0.8 designation. The VDFN-6 package offers superior thermal performance compared to standard plastic packages. Evaluate the 70 milliohm on-resistance against system power loss constraints. Ensure the 5.5V maximum load voltage aligns with the target supply rail to prevent device breakdown under transient conditions.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC20xx family of fixed and adjustable current-limiting power distribution switches originally developed by Micrel Semiconductor before its acquisition by Microchip Technology. The family provides integrated protection features commonly required in USB and peripheral power circuits. The MIC2015 variant specifically targets high-side switching applications where compact form factors and reliable fault protection are critical design parameters.

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Replacement Considerations

MIC2005-0.8YM6-TR is documented as a parameter-equivalent substitute, though it utilizes an SOT-23-6 package rather than the VDFN-6 form factor of the primary model. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal pad requirements before substitution.
