High-side switch for 12V and 24V automotive loads
The 1 Ohm typical Rds(on) at 1A continuous output sets the conduction loss floor — at 1A the dissipation is roughly 1W, which the 8-HVSSOP exposed-pad package must sink to the board copper.
Protection and control features for harsh environments
Fixed current limiting and over-temperature fault protection are integrated, so the switch survives a shorted load or stalled solenoid without external clamp circuitry. The slew-rate controlled turn-on reduces EMI coupling into the vehicle harness. The input is non-inverting with a simple On/Off interface — no Vcc supply rail is required, which simplifies the gate drive in systems where the MCU GPIO directly controls the switch.
