Smart power switches protect against over-temperature conditions
Based on ST’s proprietary VIPower silicon technology, ST’s intelligent power switches are designed to control a wide range of loads in automotive applications, in both high- and low-side topologies.
The VIPower (Vertical Intelligent Power) technology allows integration of complete digital and analogue control and protection circuits driving a vertical power MOSFET, all on the same chip.
Protected against over-temperature, over-current, over-voltage, and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) conditions, our high-side and low-side switches are designed to work in the -40 to +150°C temperature range and meet or exceed the automotive industry’s requirements.
