Diodes Incorporated expands its load switch portfolio with the introduction of DML1012ALDSQ<\/strong><\/a>, an automotive-compliant low drain-source on-resistance (RDS(ON)<\/sub>) N-channel MOSFET smart load switch. The device is suitable for reliable power sequencing and power rail control in automotive applications that include advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment platforms, and display clusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smart load switch features an input voltage range of 0.8V to 4V, allowing use in numerous subsystem power rail domains. The ultra-low RDS(ON)<\/sub>\u00a0of 8m\u03a9 (max.) minimises on-state losses and reduces heat generation in and around the device. A junction-to-case thermal resistance (R\u03b8JC<\/sub>) of 8\u00b0C\/W enables up to 6A of continuous output current. The device also features a low quiescent current, improving efficiency during power gating and minimising standby power consumption. In addition, the enable control pin provides precise, microcontroller-driven power sequencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DML1012ALDSQ incorporates several key protection features, allowing engineers to reduce PCB area and time to market, as compared with a discrete solution. The device minimises inrush current by controlling the output voltage slew rate during start-up, which benefits system stability. Integrated quick output discharge ensures downstream components are fully discharged during shutdown. In addition, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) disables system function when the supply voltage falls below a safe threshold, ensuring predictable behavior and stable supply conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DML1012ALDSQ<\/strong><\/a> is available in the V-DFN3030-8 (Type R) (3mm x 3mm) package. A standard compliance version, the DML1012ALDS<\/a><\/strong>, is available for industrial and commercial applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
