General Description
The MIC2529 is a high-side power switch optimized for self-powered (individual port switching) and bus-powered (ganged port switching) Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub applications. An on-board voltage regulator provides the 3.3V supply voltage needed for many USB microcontrollers reducing board component count.
