MIC2568
Dual-Slot PC Card/CardBus Power Controller
Preliminary
General Description
The MIC2568 dual-slot PC Card / CardBus power controller
is a V
CC
and V
PP
power switch matrix that supports 3.3V and
5V PC Card (PCMCIA) slot power supply pins.
The MIC2568 can switch PC Card slot V
CC
voltages between
0V (ground), 3.3V and 5.0V and V
PP
voltages between 0V
(ground), 3.3V, 5V, or high impedance at output currents of
up to 1A for V
CC
and 250mA for V
PP
. The MIC2568 features
well-controlled voltage rise and fall times. Each MIC2568
output voltage is switched by two digital inputs, typically
controlled from a separate PC Card logic controller.
The MIC2568 is designed for efficient operation. In standby
(sleep) mode the device draws very little quiescent current,
typically only 0.3µA. The power controller includes thermal
shutdown and protects itself and its PC Card ports with
current limiting. Full cross-conduction lockout protects the
system power supplies.
The MIC2568 is available in 28-pin SSOP and TSSOP
packages.
