The MIC2545A/2549A are high-side power switches optimized for low loss DC power switching and power management applications. They feature a precision, resistor-programmable current limit and soft-start circuit to minimize inrush current. Thermal shutdown and adjustable current limit protect the switch and attached devices. An open-drain flag output indicates current limiting or thermal shutdown. The MIC2549A additionally has an internal latch to turn the output off during thermal shutdown, providing robust fault control. They are available in various package types with active-high or active-low enable options.
