The ZXMS6004DG is a self protected low side MOSFET with logic level
input. It integrates over-temperature, over-current, over-voltage (active
clamp) and ESD protected logic level functionality. The ZXMS6004DG is
ideal as a general purpose switch driven from 3.3V or 5V
microcontrollers in harsh environments where standard MOSFETs are
not rugged enough.
•Especially suited for loads with a high in-rush current such as lamps and motors.
•All types of resistive, inductive and capacitive loads in switching applications.
•μC compatible power switch for 12V and 24V DC applications.
•Automotive rated.
•Replaces electromechanical relays and discrete circuits.
•Linear Mode capability - the current-limiting protection circuitry is designed to de-activate at
low V
therefore determined by the thermal capability of the package/board combination, rather than
by the protection circuitry. This does not compromise the product’s ability to self-protect at low
V
DS
to minimise on state power dissipation. The maximum DC operating current is
(d) The drain current is restricted only when the device is in saturation (see graph ‘typical output characteristic’). This
allows the device to be used in the fully on state without interference from the current limit. The device is fully
protected at all drain currents, as the low power dissipation generated outside saturation makes current limit
unnecessary.
