Single-channel high-side switch with full protection suite
The Infineon BTS5020-1EKA is a single-channel PROFET smart high-side switch in a PG-DSO-14 package, rated for load voltages from 5 V to 28 V and delivering up to 6.5 A continuous output. Typical Rds(on) is 20 mOhm, which sets the conduction loss floor at a given load current — at 6.5 A the dissipation is under 0.85 W, manageable in the SO-14 footprint with reasonable copper area.
This switch integrates current limiting (fixed threshold), open-load detection, over-temperature shutdown, over-voltage clamp, short-circuit protection, and under-voltage lockout (UVLO). Open-load detect is useful in lighting and solenoid drivers where a broken wire must be flagged to the system controller without adding a secondary sense line.
