Peripheral load switch
About the Peripheral load switch PCB
Peripheral load switch is an open source PCB design by matthias-bs, published on GitHub under the SHL-2.1 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 25.4 × 14 mm, with 6 components from 6 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the SiP32431DR3. By type, the board carries 2 connectors, 1 IC and 1 resistor.
From the project
MCU Peripheral Load Switch
Compact SMD peripheral load switch based on the Vishay SiP32431, designed for enabling/disabling power to microcontroller peripherals.
A minimal, all-SMD load switch board for switching a peripheral's supply voltage under microcontroller control. The design uses the Vishay SiP32431DR3 high-side switch in a SC-70-6 (SOT-363) package. Board-edge castellated contacts (J2, half-hole, DNP) allow direct PCB-to-PCB soldering or surface mounting. An optional 5-pin 2.54 mm pitch pin header (J1) provides access for prototyping with breadboards or Dupont wires.
