Micrel extends high-side power switch family with new solutions

"Battery-powered consumer electronic products demand IC design solutions that are both small and economical, particularly for handheld device applications," said John Lee, Micrel's director of Mixed-Signal and RF Products. "The MIC94070/1/2/3 series addresses the most challenging requirements of today's mass market consumer devices by offering a footprint-conscious design with low component cost. This combination gives designers the best of all worlds -- low price, small footprint, and excellent performance."

The MIC94070/1/2/3 family compliments Micrel's industry-leading MIC94060/1/2/3 high side load switch products.

The original family addresses high-end consumer devices such as high performance smart phones. The new ICs now provide mass market consumer device manufacturers with a cost-effective alternative that still features Micrel's high quality.
