International Rectifier has just introduced a new family of fully-protected, high-side intelligent power switches (IPS) that leverage next-generation silicon in enhanced packaging to deliver improved power density and response times.
The IPS60xxPBF family integrates power MOSFETs
with a host of standard protection features
for over-current, over-temperature, ESD and active
clamp. An integrated charge pump allows the device
to be driven in high-side topologies without
additional components. The new IPS family also
features reverse battery protection, actively turning
on the output MOSFET during a reverse battery
event. This feature almost eliminates current flow
through the body diode and significantly reduces
power dissipation in the part during an event, improving
reliability and again eliminating the need
for more components. Finally, the new IPS devices
provide diagnostic feedback to the microcontroller,
allowing detection of basic faults such as open
load and short circuit.
FEATURES
Over temperature shutdown (with auto-restart)
Short circuit protection (current limit)
Reverse battery protection (turns On the MOSFET)
Full diagnostic capability (short circuit to battery)
Active clamp
Open load detection in On and Off state
Ground loss protection
Logic ground isolated from power ground
ESD protection
APPLICATIONS
Tough automotive applications, including transmission and gearbox
Solenoid drivers
Lighting control
Brushed DC motor control for seats, window lifts and wipers
