MIC2076-2YM

Overview

The MIC2076-2YM is a dual-channel high-side power distribution switch optimized for USB applications. It features two independent N-channel MOSFET outputs with a maximum output current of 500 mA and a fixed current limit of 900 mA. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and includes internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and soft-start circuitry to minimize inrush currents. A fault status flag indicates overcurrent or thermal conditions. It is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel high-side power switching with independent control
• Integrated smart shutdown reduces consumption during faults
• Soft-start functionality minimizes inrush current on capacitive loads
• Fault status flag asserts during overcurrent or thermal events

Applications

• USB port power distribution
• General-purpose power distribution requiring circuit protection
• Hot-plug capable load switching
• Overcurrent and thermal protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure compatibility with the required operating temperature range and input voltage levels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest production data sheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel high-side switching with integrated protection is required. The MIC2076-2YM offers smart shutdown capabilities not present in all variants. Consider the 8-pin SOIC package constraints and the 900 mA current limit relative to load requirements compared to single-channel alternatives.

Part Context

Part of the MIC2026A/MIC2076A family of dual-channel power distribution switches. The MIC2076A variant specifically adds smart shutdown features to reduce current consumption in fault modes, distinguishing it from the standard MIC2026A which lacks this specific low-power fault behavior.

Replacement Considerations

MIC2026-2YM is a related family member but lacks the smart shutdown feature found in the MIC2076 series.
