Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix '-TR' to ensure correct tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the procurement source provides official Microchip Technology documentation or authorized distributor status to guarantee component authenticity. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date against your design requirements to ensure compatibility with specific electrical characteristics and package dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel high-side switch solution is required for low-voltage applications. The 85mΩ on-resistance makes it suitable for loads requiring up to 2A per channel. Consider the 8-lead VFDFN package constraints for PCB layout and thermal dissipation needs. Ensure the enable logic polarity matches the system control interface before finalizing the selection.

Part Context

This component belongs to Microchip's MIC9406x series of high-side power switches. It shares functional similarities with the MIC94067 but differs in specific electrical parameters such as on-resistance values. The series is designed for compact power distribution tasks where space efficiency and reliable switching are critical. It complements other PMIC offerings from the manufacturer for integrated power solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include MIC94067YML-TR. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter differences, particularly regarding on-state resistance and current handling capabilities, before implementing any substitution. Ensure the alternative component meets the same thermal and voltage specifications required by the original design.
