• Thermal shutdown

• Overvoltage protection

(including load dump)

• Reverse battery protection1)

• Undervoltage and overvoltage shutdown

with auto-restart and hysteresis

• Open drain diagnostic output

• Open load detection in ON-state

• CMOS compatible input

• Loss of ground and loss of Vbb protection

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection

Application

• µC compatible power switch with diagnostic feedback

for 12 V DC grounded loads

• Most suitable for resistive and lamp loads
