Smart switch with state-of-the-art embedded control functions and a new protection mechanism for different load types and power ratings
Housed in a PowerSSO-16 package, the VND9012AJ is designed for extreme low-voltage operation for deep cold cranking applications (compliant with LV124, revision 2013). With a very low standby current, this AEC-Q100 qualified device is compatible with 3 V and 5 V CMOS outputs.
The device integrates advanced protective functions such as load current limitation, overload active management by power limitation and overtemperature shutdown with configurable latch-off.
Key features
- AEC-Q100 qualified
- Extended current sense precision
- Advanced protection features:
