The NCV8445 is a fully protected High−Side driver that can be used

to switch a wide variety of loads, such as bulbs, solenoids and other

acuators. The device is internally protected from an overload

condition by an active current limit and thermal shutdown.

A diagnostic output reports ON and OFF state open load conditions

as well as thermal shutdown.
