Power distribution switch

The TPS2205/06 dual-slot PC Card power distribution switch now comes in a low-cost, high-power thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP) and with shorter lead-times.

The switch performs the interface between the host controller and two cards through a parallel or serial interface. It has fewer glue components and better reliability. The device makes design easier to accomplish, regardless of a designer's controller preferences. It also eliminates the need to use unreliable fuses, which can be expensive to replace in power distribution circuitry.

The TPS2205/06 is suited for notebook and desktop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), digital cameras, telecommunication systems (phones and PBXs), bar code scanners and instrumentation applications.

Suggested resale pricing in U.S. dollars in 1K quantity.
