The MLD2N06CL is designed for applications that require a rugged power switching device with short circuit protection that can be directly interfaced to a microcontrol unit (MCU). Ideal applications include automotive fuel injector driver, incandescent lamp driver or other applications where a high in−rush current or a shorted load condition could occur. This Logic Level Power MOSFET features current limiting for short circuit protection, integrated Gate−Source clamping for ESD protection and integral Gate−Drain clamping for over−voltage protection and SENSEFET technology for low on−resistance. No additional gate series resistance is required when interfacing to the output of a MCU, but a 40 k gate pulldown resistor is recommended to avoid a floating gate condition. The internal Gate−Source and Gate−Drain clamps allow the device to be applied without use of external transient suppression components. The Gate−Source clamp protects the MOSFET input from electrostatic voltage stress up to 2.0 kV. The Gate−Drain clamp protects the MOSFET drain from the avalanche stress that occurs with inductive loads. Their unique design provides voltage clamping that is essentially independent of operating temperature.
