MIC2072PCM-TR

Controllers Overview

The MIC2072PCM-TR is a dual-channel high-side power switch manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 26 V and supports continuous output currents up to 350 mA per channel. The device features an adjustable current limit ranging from 1 A to 2 A, with a maximum on-resistance of 1.2 ohms. Integrated protection mechanisms include thermal shutdown and reverse voltage blocking. The component is housed in a 16-pin PDIP package and is rated for operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Dual independent high-side switching channels
• Integrated thermal shutdown protection
• Reverse voltage blocking capability
• Adjustable current limit settings

Controllers Applications

• Peripheral power distribution
• Hot-swap applications
• Industrial control systems

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PCM' confirms the PDIP-16 package configuration against official datasheets. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during assembly due to sensitivity ratings. Cross-reference the revision level to ensure compatibility with existing design specifications.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel isolation is required within a single package footprint. Evaluate the 1.2 ohm on-resistance against total power dissipation requirements at the target load current. Consider the 26 V maximum rating relative to system bus voltages. Verify that the adjustable current limit range aligns with downstream circuit protection thresholds.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC2072 family of dual high-side switches. It shares functional similarities with the MIC2071 but offers distinct pinout and packaging options. The series is designed for robust power management in environments requiring reliable load switching and fault protection without external discrete components.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other dual high-side switches from Microchip or competitors offering similar 26 V ratings and PDIP-16 packages. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before substitution. Ensure equivalent current limit adjustability and thermal protection characteristics match the original design constraints.
