Product Highlights

ABS - The L9380 triple charge pump.

This triple high-side power MOSFET driver features all necessary control and protection functions to drive three n-channel power MOS transistors operating as high-side switches in automotive electronic control units. The key application field is the replacement of relays in systems where high current loads, usually motors with nominal currents of about 40 A connected to ground, have to be switched.
