International Rectifier IPS6011: Intelligent power switch features reverse-battery protection

The fully protected IPS6001 high-side intelligent power switch features an integrated charge pump, allowing the switch to operate in high-side topologies without additional components. Features include a 14-mV maximum on-resistance, a 37V minimum clamp voltage, and a 60A typical overcurrent limitation. The switch also features reverse-battery protection, turning on the output MOSFET during a reverse-battery event. Targeting automotive applications, the switch aims at transmissions and gearboxes; solenoid drivers; lighting control; and brushed-dc-motor control for seats, window lifts, and wipers. The IPS6011 power switch costs $1.78 (10,000).
