Introducing the AP2182SG-13 Dual Channel Current-Limited Power Switch

The AP2182SG-13, crafted by the renowned semiconductor manufacturer Diodes Incorporated, is a high-performance, dual-channel current-limited power switch designed for USB and other hot-swap applications. This advanced component is engineered to provide protection to systems and USB ports by limiting the amount of current that can flow through the device, thus preventing potential damage from overcurrent conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual Channel: The device includes two independently controlled switch channels, making it versatile for managing multiple USB ports or other peripherals with a single component.
• Current Limiting: Each channel is capable of delivering up to 2A of continuous current, with the added safety of current limiting to protect against overcurrent conditions.
• Fast Response Time: The AP2182SG-13 features a fast response time to fault conditions, quickly disabling the output when an overcurrent event is detected.
• Thermal Shutdown Protection: With built-in thermal shutdown protection, the device automatically shuts down to prevent overheating, ensuring the safety and longevity of your system.
• Reverse Current Blocking: This power switch includes a reverse blocking feature to prevent any backward current flow when the switch is turned off, protecting the upstream devices.
• Low Standby Current: The AP2182SG-13 is designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring a low standby current that minimizes power consumption when not actively switching.
• Soft-Start Functionality: The inclusion of soft-start functionality reduces inrush current upon startup, which helps to mitigate the risk of voltage drops on the power lines.
