MIC2560 Overview
The MIC2560 is a low-resistance power MOSFET switching matrix that operates from the computer system main power supply. The MIC2560 is designed for efficient operation. The MIC2560 provides power management capability under the control of the PC Card controller. The MIC2560 VCC and VPP Matrix controls PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) memory card power supply pins, both VCC and VPP. The MIC2560 switches voltages from the system power supply to VCC and VPP. The MIC2560 switches between the three VCC voltages (OFF, 3.3V and 5.0V) and the VPP voltages (OFF, 0V, 3.3V, 5V, or 12.0V) required by PCMCIA cards. Output voltage is selected by two digital inputs for each output and output current ranges up to 1A for VCC and 200mA for VPP. The MIC2560 provides power management capability under the control of the PC Card controller and features over current and thermal protection of the power outputs, zero current “sleep” mode, suspend mode, low power dynamic mode, and on-off control of the PCMCIA socket power. The MIC2560 is designed for efficient operation. In standby (sleep) mode the device draws very little quiescent current, typically 0.01µA. The device and PCMCIA ports are protected by current limiting and overtemperature shutdown. Full cross-conduction lockout protects the system power supply.

2 (1 Year) - Resistance
Resistance is a fundamental property of electronic components that measures their opposition to the flow of electric current. It is denoted by the symbol "R" and is measured in ohms (Ω). Resistance is caused by the collisions of electrons with atoms in a material, which generates heat and reduces the flow of current. Components with higher resistance will impede the flow of current more than those with lower resistance. Resistance plays a crucial role in determining the behavior and functionality of electronic circuits, such as limiting current flow, voltage division, and controlling power dissipation.
1Ohm - Max Operating Temperature
The Maximum Operating Temperature is the maximum body temperature at which the thermistor is designed to operate for extended periods of time with acceptable stability of its electrical characteristics.
85°C - Min Operating Temperature
The "Min Operating Temperature" parameter in electronic components refers to the lowest temperature at which the component is designed to operate effectively and reliably. This parameter is crucial for ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of the component, as operating below this temperature may lead to performance issues or even damage. Manufacturers specify the minimum operating temperature to provide guidance to users on the environmental conditions in which the component can safely operate. It is important to adhere to this parameter to prevent malfunctions and ensure the overall reliability of the electronic system.

It defines how the output signals are structured and how they interact with external circuits or devices. The output configuration can determine the functionality and compatibility of the component in a circuit design. Common types of output configurations include single-ended, differential, open-drain, and push-pull configurations, each serving different purposes and applications in electronic systems. Understanding the output configuration of a component is crucial for proper integration and operation within a circuit.
Low Side - Output Current

200mA - Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)
Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd) is a key parameter in electronic components that specifies the voltage level required for the proper operation of the device. It represents the power supply voltage that needs to be provided to the component for it to function correctly. This parameter is crucial as supplying the component with the correct voltage ensures that it operates within its specified limits and performance characteristics. It is typically expressed in volts (V) and is an essential consideration when designing and using electronic circuits to prevent damage and ensure reliable operation.
Not Required - Max Supply Current
Max Supply Current refers to the maximum amount of electrical current that a component can draw from its power supply under normal operating conditions. It is a critical parameter that ensures the component operates reliably without exceeding its thermal limits or damaging internal circuitry. Exceeding this current can lead to overheating, performance degradation, or failure of the component. Understanding this parameter is essential for designing circuits that provide adequate power while avoiding overload situations.
50μA - Input Type
Input type in electronic components refers to the classification of the signal or data that a component can accept for processing or conversion. It indicates whether the input is analog, digital, or a specific format such as TTL or CMOS. Understanding input type is crucial for ensuring compatibility between different electronic devices and circuits, as it determines how signals are interpreted and interacted with.
Non-Inverting - Switch Type
Based on their characteristics, there are basically three types of switches: Linear switches, tactile switches and clicky switches.
PCMCIA Switch - Ratio - Input:Output
The parameter "Ratio - Input:Output" in electronic components refers to the relationship between the input and output quantities of a device or system. It is a measure of how the input signal or energy is transformed or converted into the output signal or energy. This ratio is often expressed as a numerical value or percentage, indicating the efficiency or effectiveness of the component in converting the input to the desired output. A higher ratio typically signifies better performance or higher efficiency, while a lower ratio may indicate losses or inefficiencies in the conversion process. Understanding and optimizing the input-output ratio is crucial in designing and evaluating electronic components for various applications.
3:2 - Voltage - Load
Voltage - Load refers to the voltage across a load component in an electronic circuit when it is connected and operational. It represents the electrical potential difference that drives current through the load, which can be a resistor, motor, or other devices that consume electrical power.

Current Limiting (Fixed), Over Temperature - Rds On (Typ)
The parameter "Rds On (Typ)" in electronic components refers to the typical on-state resistance of a MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) when it is fully conducting. This parameter indicates the resistance encountered by the current flowing through the MOSFET when it is in the on-state, which affects the power dissipation and efficiency of the component. A lower Rds On value indicates better conduction and lower power loss in the MOSFET. Designers often consider this parameter when selecting components for applications where minimizing power loss and maximizing efficiency are critical factors.

RoHS means “Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances” in the “Hazardous Substances Directive” in electrical and electronic equipment.
ROHS3 Compliant - Lead Free
Lead Free is a term used to describe electronic components that do not contain lead as part of their composition. Lead is a toxic material that can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, so the electronics industry has been moving towards lead-free components to reduce these risks. Lead-free components are typically made using alternative materials such as silver, copper, and tin. Manufacturers must comply with regulations such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive to ensure that their products are lead-free and environmentally friendly.
