The IRSF3021 Lamp and DC Motor Driver is a fully protected three terminal monolithic SMART POWER MOSFET that features current limiting, over-temperature protection, gate-to-source ESD protection and gate-to-drain clamp for over-voltage protection. The on-chip protection circuit limits the drain current in the on-state. The over-temperature circuitry turns off the POWER MOSFET when the junction temperature exceeds 165C. The device restarts automatically once it has cooled down below the reset temperature. The IRSF3021 is specifically designed for driving loads that require overload protection and in-rush current control while operating in automotive and industrial environments. Targeted applications include resistive loads such as lamps or capacitive loads such as airbag squibs and DC motor drives.
