High-side switch IC targets USB hub applications in consumer appliances

Rohm's BD6538G high-side switch IC is now available from Mouser stock. The device uses a single N-Channel MOSFET with low ON-Resistance For power supply port protection the single-chip device's safety functions include over-current detection (OCD), thermal shutdown (TSD), under-voltage lock out (UVLO) and soft-start. Typical applications include a USB hub in consumer appliances such as PCs and PC peripheral equipment. Operating Temperature Range: -40C to 85C.
