High-side switch for automotive power distribution
The Infineon BTS500151TADATMA1 is a single-channel automotive high-side power switch rated for 33 A continuous output current over a 5.5 V to 28 V load supply range.
The 33 A maximum output current sets the continuous load ceiling; real-world derating depends on the PCB copper area under the TO-263-7 exposed tab and the ambient temperature. The 5.5 V to 28 V load supply range covers nominal automotive systems without a pre-regulator. The switch does not require a Vcc supply — the load voltage powers the internal charge pump and gate drive.
Fault protection for ruggedised loads
Integrated fault protection includes fixed current limiting, over-temperature shutdown, and over-voltage clamping. These protect the switch and the load against short circuits, stalled motors, and load-dump transients without external clamp diodes or fuses, reducing board area and BOM count.
Package and mounting
The PG-TO263-7-8 package (6 leads plus tab) is a D²Pak surface-mount footprint with an exposed metal tab for thermal conduction to the PCB.
