Infineon BTS72002EPAXUMA1 High-Current PROFET™ Smart Switch for Automotive Applications
The Infineon BTS72002EPAXUMA1 is a state-of-the-art dual-channel high-side smart switch engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of modern automotive electronic systems. As part of Infineon’s PROFET™ (Protected MOSFET) family, this device integrates two independent 200 mΩ channels capable of handling high-load currents up to 20 A per channel, making it an ideal solution for driving a wide range of resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads.
A key strength of the BTS72002-EPAXUMA1 is its advanced protection and diagnostic features. It includes comprehensive safeguards such as overload protection, short-circuit protection, over-temperature shutdown, and over-voltage protection. These features ensure robust and reliable operation under harsh automotive conditions, including significant voltage transients and extreme temperature ranges. Additionally, the device offers precise diagnostic feedback including current sense proportional to load current, open-load detection, and fault status reporting via a dedicated diagnosis pin, which significantly enhances system safety and simplifies maintenance.
The device is housed in a PG-TSDSO-14-37 package that offers an efficient footprint while enabling effective thermal performance. Its very low standby current makes it particularly suitable for always-on automotive applications, such as steering column lock systems, body control modules, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), where power efficiency is critical.
With its AEC-Q100 qualification, the BTS72002-EPAXUMA1 meets the stringent reliability standards required for automotive electronics, ensuring long-term performance under demanding environmental and operational conditions. Its combination of high current capability, integrated protection mechanisms, and detailed diagnostics establishes it as a versatile and dependable solution for next-generation vehicle architectures.
