The NCV8401BDTRKG is a self-protected low-side smart discrete driver designed for harsh automotive environments. It integrates key protection features such as overcurrent limiting, thermal shutdown with automatic restart, and integrated Drain-to-Gate clamping for overvoltage protection at a clamped voltage of 42V. This driver offers a low typical static drain-to-source on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 23 mΩ at a 10V gate voltage and has an internally limited drain current. Being AEC-Q101 qualified, it is ideal for switching a variety of resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads in automotive and industrial systems, often replacing electromechanical relays and discrete circuits.
