Control DC Power using GPIO

Hello Group,

   I have a very simple requirement. I have an IC1 which is powered with 5V and 300mA max current consumption. My CPU(IC2) is also powered with 5V DC. I want to use a 5V GPIO output to switch on/off the power of IC1.

Is there a chip which can do this job with minimum components.

Regards,

Vineet.
