NXP Load Switches integrate reverse voltage protection, over voltage protection, over current protection, and over temperature protection. These protection features prevent damage to the load switch and the components it supplies when a system fail event is detected. Integrated slew rate control reduces the inrush current when supplying a sub-system.
Features
- Wide input voltage range of 1.1V to 20V for design flexibility
- Low RON of 20mΩ (typical) for low loss across the switch
- Overvoltage tolerant threshold control logic eliminates external level shifters
- Integrated resistor to discharge load capacitance, when the switch is disabled
- Reverse voltage protection
- Low power off-leakage current for extended battery life
- Under voltage lockout ensures switch remains disabled when a voltage less than the operating range is applied
- Over temperature shutdown prevents any damage to switch and downstream peripherals
