Infineon BTS3256D Automotive Smart Low-Side Power Switch IC

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. supplies the Infineon BTS3256D intelligent low-side power switch IC, providing high-performance solutions for automotive electronics and industrial applications.

Product Overview:  

The BTS3256D is a high-performance single-channel low-side power switch in a PG-TO-252-5-11 package, specifically designed for automotive electronics and industrial applications. The BTS3256D device is part of Infineon's HITFET™ product series, integrating an N-channel vertical power MOSFET and a smart control chip, featuring embedded protection functions and excellent control performance.

As an intelligent power device, the BTS3256D integrates the power switch and intelligent control circuitry into a single package, significantly simplifying system design. Its TO-252-5 (DPAK) surface-mount package format meets the requirements for compact layout while providing excellent thermal performance, making it ideal for modern electronic devices that demand miniaturisation and high density.

Core technical features and advantages:

The BTS3256D intelligent low-side power switch IC incorporates multiple innovative technologies from Infineon in the power semiconductor field, featuring the following outstanding technical characteristics:

Efficient EMC-optimised design: The BTS3256D controls the switching rate via dedicated pins, supporting EMC-optimised switching or PWM operation, with a maximum switching frequency of up to 12kHz, meeting the stringent electromagnetic compatibility requirements of modern electronic systems.

Comprehensive protection features: The BTS3256D integrates a time-controlled automatic restart mechanism, providing high-temperature and overload protection; it employs effective current limiting technology with time and power limits to prevent device damage; and it includes built-in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits to enhance system reliability.

Low on-resistance: The BTS3256D achieves extremely low RDSDS(on) (maximum 10mΩ) under 3.3V or 5V logic input, significantly reducing conduction losses and improving system efficiency.

Wide operating voltage range: The BTS3256D supports a wide power supply voltage range from 5.5V to 30V, suitable for various automotive and industrial application environments.

The BTS3256D demonstrates outstanding performance parameters: output current capability up to 7.5A, transient current limit of 42A, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +150°C, fully meeting the wide temperature operation requirements of automotive-grade applications. Its extremely low leakage current characteristics also make it an ideal choice for energy-efficient designs.

Compared to similar products, the BTS3256D's greatest advantage lies in its intelligent integration. Traditional solutions require multiple discrete components to achieve protection functionality, whereas the BTS3256D integrates these functions into a single chip, not only saving PCB space but also enhancing system reliability and reducing overall costs.
