Kinetic Technologies, a leading innovator in electronic solutions, has introduced the KTS1642Q, a series of low-resistance, electronically-controlled load switches. These switches are designed to protect various electronic loads from transient surges to enhance reliability in applications.

They are equipped with enhanced protection features that are used to protect loads from abnormal power supply or load problems. Operating from a wide input supply voltage of between 4 V and 40 V, the KTS1642Q protects the system from reverse input supplies down to -28 V.

Integrating two N-Channel MOSFETs, the device includes fixed over-voltage protection of 20.3 V along with over-temperature protection with auto-retry. Following an over-voltage condition only, KTS1642Q will automatically resume operation, when the over-voltage condition is removed.

An ENABLE pin allows the MOSFET switch to be enabled or disabled, placing the device in a low current shutdown mode. System monitoring is provided by a fault FLAG.

To alert the system that the battery or power supply is connected, BDET mirrors the input voltage less the drop across the reverse battery protection MOSFET and sources up to a maximum of 500 mA.

Further protection includes over-temperature shutdown and the input pin is fully ESD protected to comply with the IEC61000-4-2 (Level 4) specification.

The KTS1642Q is packaged in an advanced, fully green-compliant, TDFN44-12 package.
