The Infineon IPS022GTR is a dual-channel low-side N-channel power switch in an 8-SOIC package, designed for general-purpose on/off control of resistive or inductive loads up to 35 V. The input is non-inverting with a 1:1 ratio, meaning a logic high on the input turns the output on. No external Vcc is required — the gate drive is self-biased from the load supply, which simplifies the BOM but limits the part to low-side configurations.
Built-in fault protection saves board space
Fixed current limiting and over-temperature shutdown are integrated on each channel. That eliminates the need for external sense resistors, comparators, or thermal protection circuits — a real board-area saving in a dense layout. The protection is non-latching; the output recovers automatically when the fault clears and the die cools.
The 8-SOIC package is a straightforward rework — no exposed pad, no hidden thermal slug. A standard hot-air profile at 260°C peak lifts the part cleanly; just watch the adjacent passives on a dense board.
Obsolete — plan the BOM transition
The IPS022GTR is marked obsolete by Infineon. For existing designs, the last-time-buy window has closed; remaining stock moves through independent distribution. Buyers should qualify an alternative low-side switch with the same 8-SOIC footprint, 35 V load rating, and 1 A per-channel capability before committing the BOM line to production.
