The IPS8200HQ from STMicroelectronics is an Octal-Channel High-Side Power Switch IC that is ideal for programmable logic control, industrial PC peripheral input and output, and numerical control machine applications. This power switch requires an input voltage of 10.5 - 36 V. It supports useful functionalities such as output enable, daisy chaining, and detection of microcontroller (MCU) freeze. This switch includes a DC/DC converter equipped with an integrated boot diode and provides an adjustable output voltage to ensure flexibility. It features an LED matrix that is designed for an efficient output state to drive various types of loads, including resistive, capacitive, and inductive, ensuring per-channel overload and short-circuit protection.
This power switch IC incorporates fast demagnetization capabilities for inductive loads through the Vout clamp, as well as overvoltage protection with VCC clamping and loss of ground protection. It provides diagnostic features such as a Power Good indication for supply voltage level, a common fault open drain output, and IC warning temperature detection. This RoHS-compliant IC is available in a surface-mount package that measures 8 x 6 mm.
