The EV5087A-G-00A is an evaluation board designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MP5087A, a load switch that provides 7A of load protection across a 0.5V to 5.5V input voltage (V_IN) range. With the low R_DS(ON) in a tiny package, the MP5087A provides a very high-efficiency and space-saving solution for notebooks, tablets, and other portable device applications.

With the soft start function, the MP5087A can avoid inrush current during circuit start-up. The MP5087A also provides different functions, such as a configurable soft start time, output discharge function, over-current protection (OCP), and thermal shutdown.

The maximum load at the output (source) is current limited. This is accomplished by utilizing a sense FET topology. The magnitude of the current limit is controlled by an external resistor from the ILIM pin to ground.

The MP5087 is available in a tiny, space-saving QFN-12 (2mmx2mm) package.
