MIC2025-2YM

MIC2025-2YM is a Microchip/Micrel dual high-side load-switch IC. It provides two independent, protected switches that connect a common input supply to two loads, with built-in fault protection. Key features typically include current-limit protection, thermal shutdown, undervoltage lockout, and reverse/short-circuit protection, plus soft-start to reduce inrush. Each channel has enable control (per-channel or common enable) and fault/status reporting to a host MCU. The -2YM suffix indicates a dual-channel version in a compact YM package suitable for space-constrained designs. Applications include powering LEDs, sensors, microcontrollers, and other loads in portable, automotive, and consumer electronics where simple sequencing and protection of power rails are needed. For exact electrical specs, pinout, current-limit setting (fixed or adjustable), and package dimensions, refer to the MIC2025-2YM datasheet.

Here are the typical features of MIC2025-2YM (hot-swap / high-side switch controller):
- Integrated high-side switch with programmable current limit via external RSENSE
- Wide input range up to about 60 V
- Soft-start to limit inrush current
- UVLO (undervoltage lockout) for reliable turn-on
- Overcurrent/short-circuit protection with latch and auto-retry
- Overvoltage protection and thermal shutdown with hysteresis
- Enable/disable control input
- Fault/Status reporting (open-drain/status pin)
- Small 8-pin package (YM code, e.g., MSOP/SOIC family)
- Suitable for hot-swap, backplanes, telecom, and PCIe-like power rails
Note: Specific electricals (exact current-limit range, timing, and pin names) are defined in the datasheet for the exact variant.

- Pin count: 8 pins (8-pin package; YM variant)
- Function: Dual high-side load switches with current limit and thermal shutdown
- Channels: Channel 1 and Channel 2, independently controlled
- Pins (typical mapping):
- EN1, IN1, OUT1 for channel 1
- GND
- EN2, IN2, OUT2 for channel 2
- VDD (supply for internal logic)
- Note: Exact pin order can vary by package variant; refer to the datasheet for the precise pinout.
