MIC2027-2BWM TR

Overview

The MIC2027-2BWM TR is a quad USB high-side power distribution switch manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features four independent N-channel outputs with a fixed current limit of 900 mA and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The device is housed in a 16-SOIC package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Designed for general-purpose power distribution, it includes internal current limiting and thermal shutdown protection to safeguard both the device and connected loads.

Feature Summary

• Integrated current limiting and thermal shutdown protection for load safety
• Soft-start circuitry to minimize inrush current on capacitive loads
• Fault status flag output indicating overcurrent or thermal events

Applications

• USB port power distribution
• General-purpose power switching
• Peripheral device protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as documentation may vary by production batch. Ensure the 16-SOIC package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when four independent high-side switches are required with 900 mA current capability. Consider the MIC2027-2YWM variant if lead-free manufacturing is mandatory. Evaluate the MIC2077 series if smart thermal latch-off behavior is preferred over standard thermal shutdown reset mechanisms.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC2027 family of quad USB power distribution switches. It shares core architecture with the MIC2027-1YM and MIC2027-2YWM models but differs in package width and manufacturing specifications. The family is optimized for protecting downstream circuits against short circuits and overloads.

Replacement Considerations

MIC2027-2YWM is listed as a direct replacement option.
