VS8401
23mΩ, 5.5V 4A Single Channel Load Switch
General Description
Thermal Protection
The VS8401 is a small, low RON, single‐channel load switch with controlled turnon. The device contains two N‐channel MOSFETs that can operate over an input voltage range of 0.8 V to 5.5 V and can support a maximum continuous current of 4 A per channel. The switch is controlled by an on and off input (ON), which can interface directly with low‐voltage control signals. In VS8401, a 220‐Ω on‐chip load resistor is added for quick‐output discharge when switch is turned off.
The VS8401 is available in a small, space‐saving DFN2X2 package (DPU) with integrated thermal pad allowing for high power dissipation. The device is characterized for operation over the free‐air temperature range of 0°C to +105°C.
