Microchip Technology

The MIC94161/2/3/4/5 is a family of high-side load switches designed to operate from 1.7V to 5.5V input voltage. The load switch pass element is an internal 14.5mΩ RDSON N-Channel MOSFET which enables the device to support up to 3A of continuous current. Additionally, the load switch supports 1.5V logic level control and shutdown features in a tiny 1.5mm × 1mm 6-ball WLCSP package. The MIC9416x provides reverse current protection when the device is disabled. The device will not allow the flow of current from the output to the input when the device is turned OFF. Additionally, the MIC94161 features overvoltage protection to protect the load when the input voltage is above 4.55V, as well as a precise enable threshold which keeps the MIC94161 in the default OFF state until the EN pin rises above 1.15V. The MIC94161/2/3/4/5 operating voltage range makes them ideal for Lithium-ion and NiMH/NiCad/Alkaline battery-powered systems, as well as non-battery-powered applications. The devices provide low quiescent current and low shutdown current to maximize battery life.

The MIC94300 is an integrated load switch that incorporates Ripple Blocker™ active filter technology. The MIC94300 provides high-frequency ripple attenuation (switching noise rejection) for applications where a switching noise cannot be tolerated by sensitive downstream circuits such as in RF applications. A low-voltage logic enable pin disconnects the pass element and places the MIC94300 into a low current-shutdown state when disabled. The MIC94300 operates from an input voltage of 1.8V to 3.6V, allowing true load switching of low-voltage power rails in any electronic device. The output voltage (VOUT) is set at a fixed drop (typically 170mV) from the input voltage (VOUT = VIN– 170mV). This maintains high efficiency independent of given load conditions and currents.

The MIC94305 is an integrated load switch that incorporates Ripple Blocker™ active filter technology. The MIC94305 provides high-frequency ripple attenuation (switching noise rejection) for applications where switching noise cannot be tolerated by sensitive downstream circuits, such as RF applications. A low-voltage logic enable pin disconnects the pass element and puts the MIC94305 in a low current-shutdown state when disabled. The MIC94305 operates from an input voltage of 1.8V to 3.6V, allowing true load switching of low-voltage power rails in any electronic device. The output voltage (VOUT) is set at a fixed drop (typically 170mV) from the input voltage (VOUT = VIN - 170mV). This maintains high efficiency independent of given load conditions and currents. The MIC94305 is packaged in a 6-pin 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin DFN package, and has a junction operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

The MIC943x5 Ripple Blocker™ is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides low-frequency ripple attenuation (switching noise rejection) to a regulated output voltage. This is important for applications where a DC/DC switching converter is required to lower or raise a battery voltage but where switching noise cannot be tolerated by sensitive downstream circuits such as in RF applications. The MIC943x5 maintains high power supply ripple rejection (PSRR) with input voltages operating near the output voltage level to improve overall system efficiency. A low-voltage logic enable pin facilitates ON/OFF control at typical GPIO voltage levels. The MIC943x5 operates from an input voltage of 1.8V to 3.6V. The MIC943x5 options include fixed (MIC94345/55) or adjustable (MIC94325) output voltages. The MIC94355 version offers an auto-discharge to discharge the output capacitor when the part is disabled. Packaged in a 6-pin 1.6mm x 1.6mm Thin DFN, the MIC943x5 has a junction operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
