Load management switches from Fairchild for embedded systems

Fairchild Semiconductor introduces the FPF1038 / FPF1039, load management switches belonging to its IntelliMAX portfolio. These switches provide a monolithic, one-chip solution to reduce in-rush current, or high di/dt, when used to disconnect loads with output capacitances of greater than 100µF.

The FPF1038 / FPF1039 integrates a slew-rate controlled low-impedance MOSFET switch (21mO typical)and other features useful in embedded system applications such as ultra-low power consumption (<1µA), load discharge path, ESD protection, GPIO/CMOS compatible-enable circuitry. The devices operates at a input voltage range of 1.2V to 5.5V, which aligns with supply rails for the latest embedded processors, custom ASICs, and FPGAs used in these applications. The optimized slew-rate controlled turn-on characteristics with TR=2.7mS prevent voltage droop on supply rails with bulk capacitances as large as 200µF.
