The ADP196 from Analog Devices is a Logic Controlled High-Side Load Switch that is ideal for digital cameras, audio devices, mobile phones and portable and battery-powered equipment applications. This switch requires an input voltage of 1.8 - 5.5 V and a continuous input current of 3 A. It is designed for power domain isolation that helps to extend battery operation and enhance efficiency. This power switch features an N-channel MOSFET with low on-resistance, effectively minimizing power loss and ensuring optimal performance. It offers low quiescent current and ultralow shutdown current making it ideal for battery-powered portable equipment. This switch features a built-in level shifter to enable logic-making and is compatible with many processors and GPIO controllers.

This power switch incorporates an internal quick-output discharge circuit to discharge the output capacitance when its output is disabled. It benefits from over-temperature and over-current protection circuits to protect both the switch and downstream circuits from potential damage. This power switch is available in a wafer-level package that measures 1.0 x 1.5 x 0.675 mm.
