The AP22950CZ15-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an Automotive-Grade High-Voltage Power Switch for USB power devices sink path applications. It requires an input voltage of 2.5-22.5 V. This automotive-qualified power switch IC provides a maximum continuous switch current of up to 5A. It features a low on-resistance of 30 milli-ohms, which minimizes conduction losses to enhance system efficiency. This AEC-Q100 qualified power switch IC complies with the Standard Power Rating (SPR) requirement of USB PD 3.x. It features integrated slew rate control that is crucial for limiting inrush current. This power switch also includes fault protection circuits, such as Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown, and reverse current protection, which provide isolation from higher system voltages. It benefits from an Overvoltage Protection (OVLO) circuit with an adjustable threshold that offers flexibility across different bus voltages. This power switch is available in a surface-mount package that measures 2.55 x 1.55 x 0.65 and is ideal for smartphones, tablet PCs, laptops and accessories, and wearable devices.
