The AP22916DCA4-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a P-Channel Power MOSFET Switch IC that has been 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 switch IC’s trigger of ON pin can be controlled to be enabled or disabled by an external low-voltage digital signal for sequence control 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 0.78 x 0.78 mm and is ideal for GPS/navigation equipment, portable medical devices, advanced notebooks, UMPC, MID, and wearable applications.
