MIC2506BMTR [MICREL]

The MIC2505/6 family controls voltages ranging from 2.7V to 7.5V. The MIC2505-series can deliver at least 2A continuous current while the MIC2506 can deliver at least 1A continuous current from each output. A slow turn-on feature prevents high inrush current when switching capacitive loads. Multipurpose open-drain fault flag outputs indicate overcurrent limiting, open-load detection (except MIC2505-1 and -2 versions), thermal shutdown, or undervoltage lockout for each channel. The output MOSFET and driver circuitry allow the MOSFET source to be externally forced to a higher voltage than the drain when the output switch is off.
