RT9715AGS

Overview

The RT9715AGS is a single-channel N-channel power switch manufactured by Richtek USA Inc., designed for high-density applications. It operates within a load voltage range of 2V to 5.5V and supports a maximum output current of 2A. The device features an internal N-channel MOSFET with a typical on-resistance of 90 milliohms. It utilizes a non-inverting open/switch interface and provides protection against fixed overcurrent, overtemperature, reverse current, and under-voltage lockout.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an N-channel MOSFET for efficient power switching in compact designs
• Provides comprehensive fault protection including overcurrent, thermal, and reverse current safeguards
• Features status flag output for system monitoring and control

Applications

• Portable electronic devices requiring high power density
• USB port protection and switching circuits
• Load distribution systems in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AGS to confirm the 8-SOP package configuration, as other variants like BGBR or HGF utilize different packages. Confirm end-of-life status through official manufacturer channels, as availability may be limited. Ensure compatibility with the required 2V to 5.5V operating range and 2A current capacity for the target application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, single-channel power switch with integrated protection is required. The 8-SOP package suits space-constrained layouts. Verify that the 90 milliohm on-resistance meets efficiency requirements. Consider the non-inverting input logic and status flag functionality for system integration needs.

Part Context

The RT9715AGS belongs to the RT9715 series of power switches from Richtek USA Inc. This series focuses on providing robust protection features in small form factors suitable for portable electronics. The AGS suffix specifically denotes the 8-SOP (SOIC) package variant, distinguishing it from other package options available within the same functional family.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consult manufacturer resources for direct replacements or evaluate alternative N-channel power switches with similar voltage, current, and protection specifications.
