What exactly is the smart high-side switch that we talk about every day? [Copy link]

As electrical demands grow, automobiles require regional modules to meet a wide range of power needs. High-side switches enable design flexibility and enable space- and weight-saving solutions by reducing wiring and replacing fuses.

Compared to traditional discrete relays and fuses, high-side switches can strike a balance between thermal performance and size, help optimize and reduce the size of vehicle wiring, and facilitate the implementation of smart functions such as fault detection measures.

As shown in the figure, different load protection circuits have different functions.

Smart high-side switches reliably drive off-board loads. These switches include highly adjustable and selectable current limits … WeChat subscription account: Automotive Development Circle (ID: AutoDevelopers) >> Read more
