Description
iC-DP is a monolithic high side switch for ohmic, inductive and capacitive loads. Designed for a wide input voltage range of 4 to 36 V, it is capable of supplying a minimum output current of 200m A. The output acts as a current source with a low saturation voltage; protection against short-circuiting is provided by the device shutting down with excessive temperature. The chip is activated when the input voltage threshold V(PI) - V(NI) of typically 3.5V is exceeded. When used as a 4-pin element (with the SOT23-6L package only), the input (PI, NI) and output (DP, VP) reference voltages are decoupled. The maximum permissive voltage difference between VP and PI is 36V.
