Kinetic Technologies, a leading innovator in electronic solutions, introduces the KTS1898, a USB VBUS safety management load switch for up to 165W current-sink input for 28V EPR systems. Its input operating range is 3V to 32V with input/output withstand up to 35VDC. Ultra-fast overvoltage protection (OVP) is internally set to 33V, but optionally adjusted via external resistors. Low on-resistance minimizes heat and voltage drop. Reverse-current protection (RCP) acts as a 20mV “ideal diode” with fast recovery.
Additional safety management includes ultra-fast over-current protection (OCP), short-circuit protection (SCP) during and after soft-start, over-temperature protection (OTP), and an integrated transient voltage suppressor (TVS) for IEC industry standard ±30kV ESD and ±100V surge ratings.

The KTS1898 is packaged in an advanced, fully “green” compliant, 2.56mm x 2.56mm, 25-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP).
