Configurable Low/High Side Switches

Configurable low-side and high-side switches, in ST BCD proprietary technology, are ISO26262 compliant, a standard for functional safety of electrical and/or electronic in automotive systems.

Protected against overtemperature, overcurrent, overvoltage, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) conditions, our high-side, and low-side switches are designed to work from -40 to +150°C temperature range and meet or exceed the automotive industry’s requirements.

The circuit shown the capability of configurable high and low side switch to drive relais and LEDs.

Applications:

Configurable low-side and high-side switches are used to drive small automotive loads often in combination with other ST automotive products.

The main possible applications are:

These devices are typically controlled via the SPI serial wire interface and have protection and diagnostic features.

Product types:

Multiple solutions with configurable high-side and low side switches housed on a single IC.
4, 6, 8 channels high-side or low-side drivers with RDSon from 300 mΩ to 750 mΩ in a wide package solution. The 8 channel pre-driver is also part of this family with self configuring outputs for either low-side or high-side drivers.
