DESCRIPTION

The ST890 is a low voltage, P-Channel MOSFET

power switch intended for high side load switching

applications.

This switch operates with inputs from 2.7V ti 5.5V,

making it ideal for both 3V and 5V systems.

Internal current limiting circuitry protects the input

supply

against

overload.

Thermal

overload

protection limits power dissipation and junction

temperatures.

The ST890’s maxmimum current limits is 1.2A.

The current limit through the switch is programed

with a resistor from SET to groung. The ST890 is

available in SO-8 package. Main applications are:

PCMCIA

slots,

Access

bus

slots,

Portable

equipment.
