The ICs are used for power management to control the power supply to the load. Similar switches can be constructed with mechanical relays and semiconductors such as MOSFET, but load switch ICs can be miniaturized and consume less power. It has a variety of built-in protection functions and is expected to improve the reliability of the system. Basics of Load Switch ICs
