One-channel high-side switch rated for 10 A continuous
It delivers up to 10 A continuous output from a 6 V to 18 V load supply, with a typical Rds(on) of 50 mOhm. The switch is controlled by a simple On/Off interface with non-inverting input logic — no external Vcc supply is needed for the internal gate drive.
AEC-Q100 qualification and the 125 °C operating ceiling
That temperature grade covers under-hood and cabin-mounted ECUs where the ambient near the power stage runs hot. The 16-HTSSOP package (PowerTSSOP with exposed thermal pad) pulls heat into the PCB copper; the 50 mOhm Rds(on) keeps conduction losses low enough that a 2 oz copper pour on a 4-layer board handles 10 A without forced air.
Fault protection: adjustable current limit plus thermal shutdown
Built-in fault protection includes adjustable current limiting and over-temperature shutdown. The current limit threshold is set by an external resistor — you size it to the load wire gauge and the PCB trace ampacity, not the switch's own 10 A ceiling. Over-temperature protection trips the output if the die exceeds the safe junction limit, which matters during a stalled-motor or short-to-ground event. The slew-rate controlled switching reduces radiated emissions on the load edge, a common concern in 12 V automotive power distribution.
