ST introduces new VIPower automotive high-side switches for truck, agricultural vehicle and boat applications.
Theses intelligent power switches integrate detailed diagnosis and advanced protections. To meet high automotive standards and thermal stress (fast thermal transients), ST 24V M0-A5 devices embed an internal control, called Power Limitation, that reduces silicon degradation by turning off the internal vertical power MOSFET when the junction temperature increases suddenly.
Key characteristics
■ One or two channels
■ Analog or digital output statuses available
■ Supply voltage operating range: 8 V to 36 V
■ ILOADMAX: 16 A to 90 A
■ Clamping voltage: >58 V
■ Short circuit ruggedness up to 32V with 40mH stray inductance
Diagnosis
■ Proportional load current sense
■ Open load detection
■ Output short to VCC detection
■ Overload and short to ground latch-off
■ Thermal shutdown
■ Fault reset
Protections
■ Load current limitation
■ Undervoltage shut-down
■ Overvoltage clamp
■ Reverse battery protection
■ Thermal shutdown latch-off
■ Loss of ground and loss of VCC
