IPS8200HQ

IPS8200HQ: high-performance and comprehensive octal high-side switch

IPS8200HQ: high-performance and comprehensive octal high-side switch

These octal high-side switches combine advanced features and flexibility, with only 110mΩ RDS(on) per channel to preserve system efficiency. The 0.7A IPS8200HQ and 1.0A IPS8200HQ-1 can control capacitive, resistive, or inductive loads with one side connected to ground. They feature integrated protections and diagnostics that ensure intelligent system management, along with LED drivers, a voltage regulator, and a selectable serial or parallel logic side interface.

IPS8160HQ

IPS8160HQ: octal high-side switch for industrial innovation

IPS8160HQ: octal high-side switch for industrial innovation

These octal high-side switches save space, enhance reliability, and are ideal for factory automation in PLC modules, vending machines, and CNC systems. Built-in protection and diagnostics allow control of heavy industrial loads and feature low on-resistance, ensuring safe and efficient operation. They comply with industrial standards IEC 61131-2 and IEC 61000. Operating voltage range: 10.5V to 36V, offer different output currents per channel: 0.7A (IPS8160HQ) or 1.0A (IPS8160HQ-1).
