45 mOhm low-side switch for 12V/24V loads
The IPS031S is a single-channel low-side N-channel power switch from STMicroelectronics, designed for general-purpose on/off switching of resistive and inductive loads up to 35 V. Typical Rds(on) is 45 mOhm, and the switch can deliver up to 2.8 A continuous output current. It includes fixed current limiting and over-temperature fault protection, so it handles short circuits and thermal overload without external clamp diodes in most applications.
Parametric fit for automotive and industrial rails
The 35 V max load voltage covers 12 V and 24 V nominal systems with headroom for load-dump transients. The 2.8 A output at 45 mOhm typical Rds(on) means conduction losses stay under 0.35 W at full load — manageable with the D²Pak exposed tab soldered to a copper plane. Input is non-inverting with a simple on/off interface — no external Vcc supply required. The 1:1 input-to-output ratio means the gate is driven directly from the logic signal, simplifying the BOM for relay, solenoid, lamp, and motor pre-drive stages.
