Overview

This schematic document details the design of the SparkFun Soft Power Switch Mk2 USB-C. The circuit utilizes a high-side P-channel MOSFET (SIL2308) to control power delivery from a USB-C input to an output. Key components include a D-type flip-flop (SN74LVC1G175DCK) and Schmitt-trigger logic (SN74LVC1G17DCK, SN74LVC1G14DCK) to manage debounced latching functionality. The design supports a maximum input voltage of 5.5V and a maximum load current of 2.0A. It features dual USB-C receptacles, a 2.0A fuse for protection, and breakout pins for external button connection, remote 'OFF' control, and 'PUSH' status monitoring.

Use Cases

  • USB-C power control for embedded systems
  • Low-power latching circuits for battery-powered devices
  • Consumer electronics power management
  • Pushbutton power control for microcontroller projects
