Functional block diagram
Applications and information
• Especially suited for loads with a high in-rush current such as lamps and motors.
• All types of resistive, inductive and capacitive loads in switching applications.
•
µC compatible power switch for 12V and 24V DC applications.
• Automotive rated.
• Replaces electromechanical relays and discrete circuits.
Linear Mode capability - the current-limiting protection circuitry is designed to de-activate at low
Vds, in order not to compromise the load current during normal operation. The design max DC
operating current is therefore determined by the thermal capability of the package/board
combination, rather than by the protection circuitry. This does not compromise the products
ability to self protect itself at low V
