The BTG7016A1EPWXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is an Automotive-Qualified Single Channel High-Side Power Switch that has been designed for wire protection in modern automotive E/E architectures. It requires an input voltage of 2.75 - 28 V and provides a output current of 6.8 A (continuous). This AEC-Q100 Grade-1-qualified power switch offers selectable integrated I²t function for wire harness protection and has a sequential diagnosis for status readout via IS pin, which results in greater precision of application diagnostics. It requires only a low operating current during parking mode and includes an IDL pin for microcontroller wake-up, which preserves battery life to support energy-efficient designs.
This ISO 26262-compliant smart switch integrates a capacitive load switching mode for effective mitigation of inrush currents, making it suitable during fast and safe charging of large capacitors. It features reverse ON and inverse current sensing for fault detection and maintenance to further improve system reliability. This RoHS-compliant power switch is available in a surface-mount package that measures 6 x 4.9 mm and is ideal for resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads up to 6.8 A, switch for active power supplies in key-off mode, main switch for ECU power supplies, protection of wire harness and system supply and replaces electromechanical relays, fuses, and discrete circuit applications.
