High-side switch for 12 V automotive loads
It drives resistive, inductive, and lamp loads up to 25 A continuous from an 8 V to 18 V supply rail.
With a typical on-resistance of 3.9 mOhm, this switch dissipates roughly 2.4 W at 25 A (I²R). That heat flows through the TO-263-7 (D²Pak) tab to the PCB copper plane; the junction temperature rating of 150 °C sets the derating curve for real-world ambient conditions underhood or in an engine bay.
Integrated fault protections for harsh environments
The device integrates over-temperature shutdown, over-voltage clamp, reverse battery protection, and short-circuit current limiting. These protections are essential for an automotive power distribution node where load dump, reverse polarity, and wiring faults are expected events, not anomalies.
Infineon lists the BTS500251TADATMA1 as obsolete.
