Low-side switches

STMicroelectronics offers a wide range of automotive-grade smart 3-pin low-side switches (OMNIFET) based on VIPower (vertical intelligent power) technology. This proprietary technology allows integration on the same chip of complete digital and analog control and protection circuits driving a vertical power MOSFET.

High-side switches

ls_switches
Low-side switches, with their integrated extra features, are power switches that can handle high currents in a safe way and in compliance with the harsh automotive environment. They only require a simple TTL logic input.
Such devices are power-MOSFET pin-to-pin compatible, and guarantee real-time load control and are protected against over-temperature, so protecting the entire board.
Low-side switches are designed to work from -40 °C to +150 °C.

ST’s low-side switch product portfolio includes single and dual drivers with digital status and RDS(on) values ranging from 10 mΩ to 300 mΩ.
Different packages are available for this product family.

These versatile devices address many power applications in automotive body electronics.
