MIC2536-2YMM-TR

Overview

The MIC2536-2YMM-TR is a dual-channel USB power distribution switch IC from Microchip Technology, designed for bus-powered applications. It features two independent high-side N-channel outputs with a fixed current limit of 275 mA per channel. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in an 8-pin MSOP, it integrates controlled slew rate and status flag functionality.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent high-side channels optimized for USB power distribution
• Integrated fixed current limiting and thermal protection mechanisms
• Controlled output slew rate to minimize inrush current during activation

Applications

• Bus-powered USB peripheral devices
• USB hub port expansion circuits
• Portable electronic equipment power management

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'TR' confirms tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the '2YMM' designation matches the required MSOP-8 package and lead-free RoHS compliance specifications. Ensure the input voltage requirements align with the 2.7 V to 5.5 V operational range before integration into the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring dual isolated USB ports with built-in overcurrent protection. The fixed 275 mA limit suits standard USB 2.0 loads. Consider the MSOP-8 footprint for space-constrained layouts. Verify that the single enable input controls both channels simultaneously if independent switching is not required.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC2536 family of USB power switches. It serves as a cost-effective solution for protecting downstream USB loads from short circuits and overloads. The device simplifies system design by combining switching logic with protection features in a compact surface-mount package.

Replacement Considerations

MIC2536-2YM is available in tube packaging instead of tape-and-reel.
