26-strong NSE34 and NSE35 families include 1-, 2- and 4-channel switches and are compliant with AEC-Q100, ISO7637, ISO16570 and CISPR25-2021 Class 5

NOVOSENSE Microelectronics, a semiconductor company specializing in high-performance analog and mixed-signal chips, has announced a range of high-side switches for driving traditional resistive, inductive, and halogen lamp loads in automotive body control modules (BCM) as well as large capacitive loads commonly found in the first-level and second-level power distribution within zone control units (ZCU).

At time of launch, the NSE34 and NSE35 families includes 26 single-, dual- and quad-channel devices developed for operation across 11 separate load currents intervals (11 A to sub-2 A). These devices have an Rds(on) resistance range from 8 mΩ to 140 mΩ and feature industry-leading load-driving capabilities and advanced diagnostic and protection functions such as advanced over-current protection and over-voltage clamping protection.

All devices in the two families are fully compliant with multiple automotive standards, including AEC-Q100, AEC-Q100-006, AEC-Q100-012 Grade A, ISO7637, ISO16570 and CISPR25-2021 Class 5.

Yang WANG, Product Line Marketing Director of NOVOSENSE said: “For electric and autonomous vehicles, body domain controllers have become increasingly important, enabling smart power distribution and functional integration. Indeed, they are essential for many applications, be it in resistive loads such as a seat heater, capacitive or halogen lamp loads for surge-current handling, or inductive loads such as in wipers, solenoids and relays, where it protects against negative voltage spikes.”

On display at Electronica (Stand B5, 450), the NSE34 and NSE35 families of high-side switches are available in 14- and 16-pin HSSOP packages measuring 4.9mm x 3.9mm respectively.
