MIC2560
PCMCIA Card Socket V
CC
and V
PP
Switching Matrix
General Description
The MIC2560 V
CC
and V
PP
Matrix controls PCMCIA (Per-
sonal Computer Memory Card International Association)
memory card power supply pins, both V
CC
and V
PP
. The
MIC2560 switches voltages from the system power supply
to V
CC
and V
PP
. The MIC2560 switches between the three
V
CC
voltages (OFF, 3.3V and 5.0V) and the V
PP
voltages
(OFF, 0V, 3.3V, 5V, or 12.0V) required by PCMCIA cards.
Output voltage is selected by two digital inputs for each
output and output current ranges up to 1A for V
CC
and
200mA for V
PP
.
The MIC2560 provides power management capability
under the control of the PC Card controller and features
over current and thermal protection of the power outputs,
zero current “sleep” mode, suspend mode, low power
dynamic mode, and on-off control of the PCMCIA socket
power.
The MIC2560 is designed for efficient operation. In stand-
by (sleep) mode the device draws very little quiescent
current, typically 0.01µA. The device and PCMCIA ports
are protected by current limiting and overtemperature
shutdown. Full cross-conduction lockout protects the
system power supply.
