DESCRIPTION
iC-DP is a monolithic highside switch for ohmic, in-
ductive and capacitive loads.
Designed for a wide input voltage range of 4 to 36 V,
it is capable of supplying a minimum output current
of 200 mA. The output acts as a current source with
a low saturation voltage; protection against short-
circuiting is provided by the device shutting down with
excessive temperature. The chip is activated when
the input voltage threshold V(PI)-V(NI) of typically
3.5 V is exceeded.
When used as a 4-pin element (with the SOT23-6L
package only), the input (PI, NI) and output (DP, VP)
reference voltages are decoupled. The maximum
permissive voltage difference between VP and PI is
36 V.
