Microchip High Side Power Switch IC 8-Pin SOIC MIC2026A-2YM 2.7V to 6V, 1.25A Operating Current MIC2026A-2YM

Microchip MIC2026A-2YM is a high side power switch integrated circuit housed in a compact 8-pin SOIC package. It is optimized for general-purpose power distribution applications requiring built-in circuit protection, making it particularly suitable for USB-powered devices and other electronic systems.

This device operates over a voltage range of 2.7V to 6V and can handle continuous operating currents up to 1.25A. It features internal current limiting and thermal shutdown functionality to protect both the IC and the connected loads during fault conditions, including short circuit scenarios.

Equipped with soft-start circuitry, the MIC2026A-2YM reduces inrush current, which is beneficial particularly when powering highly capacitive loads, improving system reliability and longevity. The device outputs a fault status flag with a 3 millisecond filter, effectively eliminating false fault triggers.

The IC integrates reverse current flow blocking capabilities along with logic-compatible input pins, allowing seamless interfacing with microcontrollers and other logic devices. This power switch is RoHS-compliant and designed to operate across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring robust performance in diverse environmental conditions.

Measuring 4.93mm in length, 3.94mm in width, and 1.63mm in height, the SOIC package offers a small footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in industrial, consumer electronics, automotive systems, telecommunications, and power management applications.

The device supports a supply voltage range from 2.7V to 6V. Typical switch on resistance (RdsOn) is 100 milliohms at 5.0V. Each channel provides a minimum continuous current of 0.5A. Includes thermal shutdown and short circuit protection.

Soft-start circuitry reduces inrush current with capacitive loads. Fault status flag features a 3 ms filter to eliminate false assertions. Incorporates reverse current blocking and logic-compatible inputs. RoHS compliant with operational temperature range -40°C to 85°C.

Compact 8-pin SOIC package dimensions: 4.93mm x 3.94mm x 1.63mm.
