RT9731AZQW(2)

Overview

The RT9731AZQW(2) is a dual-channel precision adjustable current-limited power switch manufactured by Richtek. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and supports up to two independent outputs. The device features a maximum on-resistance of 44 mΩ and provides an adjustable current limit set to 2.8 A. Designed for surface-mount installation, it utilizes a WDFN-10 package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture providing independent control over two output paths
• Precision adjustable current limiting capability for customized protection thresholds
• Low on-resistance design to minimize conduction losses and improve efficiency

Applications

• Distributed power supply systems requiring precise load management
• Portable electronic devices needing efficient power distribution
• Industrial equipment utilizing low-voltage power switching

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to ensure compatibility with required packaging formats such as cut tape or reel options. Confirm that the WDFN-10 footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions. Ensure the selected variant meets the necessary thermal dissipation requirements for the intended operating environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for exact ordering codes to avoid discrepancies in component specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel isolation with adjustable current limits is required. Evaluate the 44 mΩ on-resistance against total system power loss constraints. Consider the 2.8 A current limit setting relative to maximum load demands. Verify that the 2.5 V to 5.5 V input range aligns with the available supply rails. Assess the WDFN-10 package suitability for space-constrained designs.
