The BV1LB050FPJ-C from ROHM Semiconductor is an Automotive-Grade Single-Channel Low Side Switch IC that is designed for 12 V automotive applications. It requires an input voltage of 3-5.5 V and provides an output current of 15 A. This power switch includes a monolithic power management IC with a control unit (CMOS) and a power MOSFET. It has been designed to offer protection against surges in voltage, current, and thermal effects. This AEC-Q100-qualified switch IC integrates the current protection function (OCP) and active clamp function. It consists of a built-in dual thermal shutdown (TSD) that includes junction temperature protection and sudden temperature rise protection circuits to prevent over-temperature-related damages. This RoHS-compliant IC is available in a surface-mount package that measures 6.6 x 10.1 x 2.5 mm and is ideal for resistance load, inductance load, and capacitance load in automotive applications.
