High-side switches

Increased automotive electrical demands require zonal modules that can accommodate a wide range of power needs. Our high-side switches enable design flexibility and contribute to a space- and weight-conscious solution through reduced cabling and fuse replacement.

Benefits:

• Strikes a balance between thermal performance and size.
• Replacing discrete relays and fuses helps optimize vehicle cabling.
• Fault-detection measures.

Rising 48V demands in modern automotive systems require intelligent switching solutions for zone and power distribution architectures. Our 48V high-side switches support efficient, reliable load control while reducing system complexity and material weight, enabling smarter, lighter designs.

Benefits:

•70V input voltage tolerance for resilience against 48V transients. 

•High thermal density packaging for compact footprints and smaller board designs.

•Enables cable reduction and connector material weight.

•Integrated fault detection and load protection enhance system reliability.

Our industrial high-side switches offer smart solutions for enabling smaller and more power-efficient factory modules with increased power density. 

Benefits:

• Reliably drive offboard loads such as holding brakes, fans, digital outputs, tool attachments and safe-torque-off circuits in motor drives and robotics.
• Adjustable current limiting and current sensing for protecting and diagnosing load events such as wire breaks, short circuits and overload currents.

As the automotive industry moves toward hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs), efficient battery management becomes the primary engineering challenge. Our high-side switches have the features and protections necessary for overcoming battery-monitoring design and control challenges. 

Benefits:

• Feedback that enables efficient control and battery balancing.
• Built-in system redundancies to help prevent failure. 
• Overload, short-circuit and reverse-battery protection.

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) require compact power-switch solutions to provide both power and protection to remote sensor, radar and camera boards. Our high-side switches integrate both protection and diagnostics into a single integrated circuit for driving remote boards. 

Benefits:

• Adjustable current limiting and current sensing for protecting and diagnosing load events such as wire breaks, short circuits and overload currents.
• Fault reporting, inrush current control and short-circuit protection.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging requires safe, quick and efficient charging systems. As charging demands increase, so does the need to flexibly handle electrical loads. Our industrial high-side switches offer smart solutions for your designs, with diagnostics and transient protection.

Benefits:

• Adjustable current limiting and current sensing for protecting and diagnosing load events such as wire breaks, short circuits and overload currents.
• An integrated drain-to-source voltage clamp enables the dissipation of inductive energy stored in long cables and inductive loads.
