SP2525A
Single Channel USB Power Distribution Switch
November 2011
Rev. 2.1.0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SP2525A device is an integrated high-side
power switch ideal for self-powered and bus-
powered
Universal
Serial
Bus
(USB)
applications.
The high-side switches are MOSFETs with
70mΩ R
DS(ON)
, which meets USB voltage drop
requirements for maximum transmission wire
length. Multi-purpose open-drain fault flag
output indicates over-current limiting, thermal
shutdown, or under voltage lockout. Output
current is typically limited to 0.85A below the
5A safety requirement, and the thermal
shutdown function shuts the switch off to
prevent damage under overcurrent conditions.
Guaranteed minimum output rise time limits
inrush current during hot plug-in, minimizing
EMI and preventing the voltage at the
upstream port from dropping excessively.
The SP2525A is offered in a RoHS compliant
“green”/halogen free 8-pin NSOIC package.

= 25°C only; limits applying over the full
Operating Junction Temperature range are denoted by a “•”. Minimum and Maximum limits are guaranteed through test,
design, or statistical correlation. Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm at T
