The MIC2563A-1BSM from Microchip Technology is a Dual-Slot PCMCIA/CardBus Power Controller that is ideal for dual-slot PC card power supply pin voltage switch, cardbus slot power supply control, data collection systems, machine control data input systems, wireless communications, bar code data collection systems, instrumentation configuration/data logging, docking stations (portable and desktop), power supply management and power analog switching applications. It requires an input voltage of up to 14.5 V and provides an output current of less than 1 A. This switch features a single package that controls two PC Card slots. It benefits from highly efficient, low-resistance switches that require no 12 V bias supplies and consume very low power. This switch is designed as a complete dual-slot PC Card/CardBus VCC and VPP switch matrix in a single package and uses logic that is compatible with industry-standard PC card logic controllers. It has an output current limit, over-temperature shutdown, and break-before-make switching protection to offer reliability during operation. This UL-recognized switch is available in a surface-mount package that measures 10.33 x 5.40 x 2.00 mm.
