DESCRIPTION

The MP6215 Power Distribution Switch features

internal current limiting to prevent damage to

host devices due to faulty load conditions. The

MP6215 operates from a 3.3V or 5V nominal

MOSFET to handle up to 1.5A continuous load

with a 2.3A typical current limit. The MP6215

has built-in protection for both over current and

increased thermal stress. For over-current

protection (OCP), the device will limit the

current by going into a constant current mode.

When continuous output overload condition

exceeds power dissipation of the package, the

thermal protection will shut the part off. The

device will recover once the device temperature

reduces to approx 120

°C.

The MP6215 is available in an MSOP8 package

with exposed pad.
