In summary, smart power switches from ROHM’s IPD series are available as low-side or high-side switch ICs to provide the right part for the application. The designs of these automotive-grade (AEC-Q100) universal switches integrate a low ON resistance MOSFET and multiple protection circuits into one chip. This provides enhanced protection against cases of overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent, and load short-circuiting, ensuring suitability for a variety of industrial applications and making it possible to achieve maintenance-free systems.
