Smart Power Switches Offer Extensive Protection

Designed to handle high current loads safely with low power dissipation, the Maxi Series of intelligent power switch devices integrate an output power MOSFET with very low R_DS(ON) (to 5 milliohms) for lower heat dissipation. Current handling capabilities range up to 75A. The devices' integrated protection features eliminate the need for any external components for protection purposes.An internal slew-rate control for turn on/off and the use of a low-noise charge pump for the high-side device means lower EMI for designers. Ground noise generation of less than 10 µA is also featured. In addition, high-side devices are designed to handle large offsets from logic ground to load or chassis ground that can result from harness or contact resistance or corrosion.
