The IPS0551T is a fully protected three terminal SMART POWER MOSFET that features over-current, over-temperature, ESD protection, and drain to source active clamp. This device combines a HEXFET POWER MOSFET and a gate driver. It offers full protection and high reliability required in harsh environments. The driver allows short switching times and provides efficient protection by turning OFF the power MOSFET when temperature exceeds 165oC or when the drain current reaches 100A. The device restarts once the input is cycled. The avalanche capability is significantly enhanced by the active clamp and covers most inductive load demagnetizations.
