The SP619 Provides Critical System Protection for Portable Applications
MILPITAS, Calif., July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sipex Corporation
(Nasdaq: SIPX) today announced the release of the SP619, an 800mA current
limit switch in a space saving SOT-23 package. The SP619 provides fault
protection in a wide range of applications, such as protecting portable
devices from poorly regulated wall chargers or USB sources, providing point
of load current limit protection in distributed power systems.
The SP619 protects critical system circuitry by disconnecting the
source upon detecting a current greater than 800mA. When protecting single
cell Li-ion portable devices such as cell phones or PDAs, the 2nA leakage
current ensures virtually zero impact to battery life. Together with a 2.5V
to 7V operating range, these features allow the SP619 to improve system
reliability and provide load switching in Lithium-ion battery charging
systems, low power USB clients, and low power distributed systems.
"Sipex recognizes the growing need for greater system reliability and
longer battery life in today's portable application market. By offering
load protection and near zero leakage current, the SP619 represents a
highly effective solution for a wide range of portable battery-powered
devices," said Rich Kapusta, Sipex's Vice President for Interface Products.
"The SP619 further augments Sipex's portfolio in the portable applications
space."
Pricing and Availability
SP619 is available in RoHS/Pb-free 6 pin SOT-23 packages in the
industrial temperature range. Pricing for these products begins at $0.25 in
1,000 piece quantities. For datasheets, sample requests, or other
