MIC2015-1.2YM6TX

Overview

The MIC2015-1.2YM6TX is a single-channel P-channel power distribution switch manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a load voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and supports a maximum output current of 1.2A. The device features a typical on-resistance of 70 milliohms and utilizes a SOT-23-6 surface-mount package. It includes fixed current limiting and overtemperature fault protection with controlled slew rate functionality.

Feature Summary

• P-channel high-side power switch configuration
• Integrated fixed current limit and thermal shutdown protection
• Controlled slew rate for inrush current management

Applications

• Portable equipment power distribution
• Peripheral card hot insertion
• Battery-powered system load switching

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 footprint designs. Cross-reference datasheet revisions for any recent pinout or electrical parameter updates prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-on-resistance P-channel switch is required for 5V systems. The 1.2A rating suits moderate load applications. Consider the SOT-23-6 package constraints for thermal performance. Verify that the fixed current limit meets the downstream circuit requirements without external programming.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC20xx family of power switches from Microchip Technology, formerly Micrel. The family offers various current ratings and channel counts. The MIC2015 variant specifically targets general-purpose high-side switching applications requiring robust fault protection in small packages.

Replacement Considerations

The MIC2015-0.8YM6-TR is a parameter-equivalent alternative with lower current capacity. Verify if the reduced 800mA rating satisfies the application needs before substituting.
