current limiter chip

The data sheet is pitiful. As is common these days.

Ideally 5 volts in and out.

We could make a limiter with a shunt resistor, an opamp, and a p-fet, and some passives; it wouldn't thermal limit so we'd have to work around that. We prefer something with fewer parts.

We do have a digital solution for this case, but I'd generally like to find a current limiter part.

USB power switch like RT9728A ?

You might try Torex for the app.

eg XC6193 is a pretty fancy rail switch/controller.

XC6299/6212 are controllable LDOs with enable, inrush and thermal limits, in smaller sot23-6 type bodies.

Looks nice, 32 cents by the reel, probably 2nd sourced, but doesn't seem to be available.

maybe one of these then?

There is a TI part with the same pinout and similar specs. Three sources maybe.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Diodes AP22652

Richtek RT9728A, RT9722

TI TPS25221

ON NCP380

seem to be basically identical current limiter chips. This family has fixed and adjustable current limit parts, and both continuous and on/off versions.

Microchip Mic2091 and MP5036 and MIC20x9 look close.

here's a few more

Cool.

Most of these parts bottom out at about 400 mA on their graphs, but they might limit at little lower in real life. I'd prefer maybe 200 mA, but it needn't be a precise limit, so we could test some and see if they look OK.

Check pin compatibility . . .
