MIC2536-2YM-TR

Overview

The MIC2536-2YM-TR is a dual-channel high-side USB power switch IC manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and features a fixed current limit of 275 mA per channel. The device is housed in an 8-pin MSOP package with tape and reel packaging. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and includes moisture sensitivity classification.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent channels optimized for bus-powered Universal Serial Bus applications
• Integrated fault protection including fixed current limiting, overtemperature shutdown, and reverse current blocking
• Controlled slew rate functionality to minimize inrush current during turn-on

Applications

• Bus-powered USB peripheral devices
• USB hub circuits
• Portable electronic equipment requiring protected power distribution

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' confirms tape and reel packaging rather than tube. Ensure the order matches the MSOP-8 footprint requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the latest datasheet revision. Check for any recent product change notices regarding assembly sites or materials that may affect qualification.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual isolated high-side switching is required for USB loads. The 275 mA limit suits low-power peripherals. Consider the MSOP-8 size constraint against available PCB real estate. Verify thermal performance under maximum load conditions within the specified ambient temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC2536 family of cost-effective high-side power switches. It provides two independently controlled channels designed specifically for USB power distribution tasks. The series offers integrated protection features to safeguard both the host and connected devices from electrical faults.

Replacement Considerations

MIC2536-2YM is the non-reel equivalent variant. MIC2536-1YM-TR is a single-channel alternative within the same family.
