Infineon Technologies PROFET™

PROFET™ Load Guard 12V smart high-side power switches bring highest design flexibility and system protection, providing overcurrent limitation, adjustable to load and system requirements. Design efforts are minimized by the adaptability of the current limit to changes in load-driving requirements, family pin & function compatibility and high compatibility to PROFET™ +2 12V devices. With the capacitive load switching mode, big capacitive loads can be charged quickly and safely. Further, ISO 26262-ready documentation supports the implementation in safety related applications.

Key features

• Adjustable overcurrent limitation
• Capacitive load switching mode
• Best-in-class current sense accuracy in low current regions
• Safety application note to support the use in functional-safety applications

Additional features

• Adjustable overcurrent limitation (0.33 to 8.86 A) protects both load and systems, e.g. in PoC implementations
• Quickly charge big capacitive loads with capacitive load switching mode in the safe operating area
• Precise module diagnostics by high current sense accuracy
• Pin compatibility between family members and PROFET™ +2 12V devices with PG-TSDSO-14 exposed pad packages

Applications

• PROFET™ Load Guard 12V
