MIC2016-1.2YM6TX

Overview

The MIC2016-1.2YM6TX is a high-side power distribution switch manufactured by Microchip Technology in an SOT-23-6 surface-mount package. It supports an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and delivers a maximum output current of 1.2 A with a typical on-resistance of 70 mΩ. The device features non-inverting logic control, slew rate-controlled turn-on to minimize inrush current, and integrated fault protection including current limiting and thermal shutdown.

Feature Summary

• Slew rate controlled turn-on for inrush current management
• Integrated current limit and thermal shutdown protection
• Non-inverting logic interface for easy system integration

Applications

• Power distribution in embedded systems
• Load switching for peripheral devices
• Hot-swap applications requiring controlled turn-on

Procurement Notes

Verify component status as the MIC2016-1.2YM6TX may be discontinued or obsolete at major distributors. Confirm availability through authorized channels or alternative sources. Ensure the specific YM6 suffix matches the required SOT-23-6 package variant. Cross-reference datasheets for any pinout or electrical parameter differences between legacy Micrel and current Microchip versions before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact high-side switch with 1.2 A capacity is required. The 70 mΩ on-resistance offers low conduction loss compared to higher resistance alternatives. The slew rate feature makes it suitable for sensitive loads where sudden current spikes must be avoided. Verify that the 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply range aligns with the system voltage rails.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC2016 family of single-channel power distribution switches. It is derived from Micrel products now managed by Microchip Technology. The YM6 suffix denotes the SOT-23-6 package type. Similar variants exist with different current ratings or package options within the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements such as the MIC2016-1.2YM6 if available. Consider other Microchip high-side switches like the MIC2039 series for different current requirements. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting with generic equivalents.
