MIC2536-2YM

Overview

The MIC2536-2YM is a dual-channel high-side power switch IC optimized for USB applications. It features two independently controlled N-channel outputs with a fixed current limit of 150mA per channel. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in an 8-SOIC footprint, it includes integrated protection against overcurrent, overtemperature, and reverse current conditions.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent high-side switching channels
• Integrated fault protection including current limiting and thermal shutdown
• Controlled slew rate to minimize bus transients

Applications

• Bus-powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) port protection
• DC-powered application power distribution
• Peripheral device power switching

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant, as the MIC2536 series includes both SOIC and MSOP options. Confirm that the 150mA current limit aligns with your load requirements, as other variants may offer different limits. Ensure compatibility with the required operating temperature range and check RoHS compliance status before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel high-side switching is required for low-current loads. The 150mA limit suits standard USB peripherals. Consider the 8-SOIC package for through-hole or surface-mount assembly needs. Evaluate if the fixed current limit meets system specifications compared to adjustable alternatives.

Part Context

Part of the MIC2536 family of cost-effective power switches designed for USB and DC applications. The series provides flexible packaging options including tube and reel configurations. This specific model represents the dual-channel variant with standard current limiting capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

MIC2536-2YM-TR is the tape and reel version of the same device. MIC2536-2YMM offers the same functionality in an MSOP-8 package.
