New AOS AOZ1360 Smart-Load-Switch Smart load switch offers best-in-class on-resistance
The new member of Alpha and Omega Semiconductor’s EZPower™ Protected Smart Load Switch family, AOZ1360, offers best-in-class 35mOhm maximum on-resistance. This product is ideal for hot-swap and short circuit protection while limiting power consumption. The device operates from voltages between 5.5V and 28V, and can handle a continuous current up to 3A. The internal current limiting circuit protects the input supply voltage from large load current. The current limit can be set with an external resistor. The AOZ1360 provides thermal protection function that limits excessive power dissipation. The device employs internal soft-start circuitry to control inrush current due to highly capacitive loads associated with hot-plug events. It features low quiescent current of 220µA and the supply current reduces to less than 1µA in shutdown. Other features include under-voltage lockout and 2.5kV ESD rating.
The AOZ1360 is available at setron in the SO-8 and 4mm x 4mm DFN-10 package which can operate over -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
