The PROFET™ family of high-side switches is an intelligent high-side power switch for automotive and industrial applications from Infineon Technologies, based on SMART6 or SMART7 technology, featuring excellent energy efficiency, precise current detection accuracy (kILIS), low cranking voltage capability, and fast switching/ramp rates.
Features
The main features of PROFET series High-side switches for automotive applications may be summarized as follows:
The PROFET™ family of high-side switches features integrated DMOS power transistors and CMOS logic circuits that provide a variety of protection and diagnostic functions such as overload, overvoltage, short circuit, overtemperature, ground loss, power loss, ESD, and dynamic overvoltage (e.g. load dump and inductive load shutdown).
Applications
The PROFET™ family of high-side switches are suitable for automotive and industrial applications and can drive a variety of loads such as LED lights, engine control units, PTC heaters, etc., for different currents, voltages, channel counts, and package types.
