The MPQ5068-AEC1 from Monolithic Power Systems is an Automotive-Qualified Hot-Swap Protection IC that is designed to protect circuitry on its output from transients on its input. It requires an input voltage of 6 - 28 V. This eFuse IC features an external capacitor to control the slew rate at the output. It integrates a 7 milli-ohms power FET whose gate is driven by an internal charge pump. This AEC-Q100-qualified eFuse IC includes an IMON option to produce a voltage proportional to the current through the power device. It includes a power good (PG) detector and fault event (FLTB) indication. This eFuse IC benefits from output current measurement with a ±10% current monitor accuracy. It consists of current-limit protection, under-voltage lockout, thermal protection, and damaged MOSFET detection. This eFuse IC is available in a surface-mount package that measures 3 x 5 mm and is ideal for automotive systems, automotive infotainment, automotive clusters and advanced driver assistance systems applications.
