Four-channel high-side switch — what the 21 mOhm Rds(on) buys
The BTS5440GXUMA1 is a 4-channel high-side N-channel power switch from Infineon's IntelliSense™ family. Each output is rated for a continuous 5.7 A maximum, and the typical on-resistance of 21 mOhm keeps conduction losses low enough that the 28-SOIC package can dissipate the heat without forced airflow in most 12 V and 24 V loads.
Load voltage and protection — where it fits the BOM
The load supply range spans 4.5 V to 28 V, covering standard automotive and industrial rails but not 3.3 V logic-level loads. Integrated fault protection includes current limiting (fixed threshold), open-load detection, overtemperature shutdown, and overvoltage clamp — four diagnostics that reduce the need for external sense resistors or comparators on each channel.
Obsolete — sourcing strategy for the BOM line
Infineon lists the BTS5440GXUMA1 as obsolete.
