Texas Instruments TPS4816-Q1 Smart High-Side Switch Controllers
Texas Instruments TPS4816-Q1 Low IQ Smart High-Side Switch Controllers have protection and diagnostics. With a wide operating voltage range of 3.5V to 95V (100V absolute-maximum rating), the device is suitable for 12V, 24V, and 48V automotive system designs.The device has a strong 0.5A peak source and 2A peak sink GATE driver that enables power switching using parallel FETs in high-current system designs. Use INP as the gate driver control input. MOSFET slew rate control (ON and OFF) is possible by placing external R-C components. It also integrates a pre-charge driver (G) with control input (INP_G). This feature enables designs that must drive large capacitive loads. The controller draws a total shutdown current of 1µA in shutdown mode at a 48V supply input.
The device has accurate bidirectional current sensing (±2%) output (IMON, I_DIR) with adjustable I2t-based overcurrent and short circuit protection (±5%) using an external RSNS resistor and /FLT indication. Auto-retry and latch-off fault behavior can be configured. The device also has NTC-based temperature sensing (TMP) and monitoring output (ITMPO) for overtemperature detection of external FETs. The Texas Instruments TPS4816-Q1 is available in a 23-pin VQFN package.
