The PROFET™ -10A Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that contains a smart high-side power switch. This board features the Profet™ BTS7008-1EPA, a dual-channel, high-side power switch with embedded protection and diagnosis feature from Infineon Technologies. This switch has a driving capability suitable for 7.5A loads and high inrush current loads and features a ReverSave™, which causes the power transistor to switch on in case of reverse polarity. Besides its protection features, it also has several pin-configurable diagnosis features such as proportional load current sense, open Load in ON and OFF state, and short circuit to ground and battery.
The PROFET™ -10A Click Board™ is suitable for resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads, replacing electromechanical relays, fuses and discrete circuits, and many more.
