The AP22916CCA4-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a P-Channel Single Channel Load Switch that is designed for low-power consumption and load-switching applications. It requires an input voltage of 1.3-5.5 V and an input current of 2 A. This load switch consists of control logic, a driver, power MOSFETs, a logic gate, and capacitors. It supports multiple voltage levels that correspond to different time options, making it suitable for various system load conditions. This power MOSFET has a typical RDS(ON) of 60m? at 5V, allowing increased load current handling capacity with a low forward voltage drop.
This power switch IC can be enabled or disabled via the ON pin using an external low-voltage digital signal, making it suitable for power sequencing applications. It also has a smart pull-down feature and will disconnect when the enable voltage is higher than the high-level input voltage. This RoHS-compliant switch is available in a surface-mount package that measures 0.795 x 0.795 mm and is ideal for GPS/navigation equipment, portable medical devices, advanced notebooks, UMPC, MID, and wearable applications.
