SPIDER stands for SPI Driver for Enhanced Relay control.
SPIDER products are the smallest relay drivers in the
market with innovative features and packages.
With the SPIDER family Infineon oers a wide choice of
integrated Multichannel switches specially designed
for the control of small loads like relays, LEDs and small
motors.
The modular family is scaled by R
DS(on)
, packages and
add-on features. They come in 4- and 8-channel low-side
configurations (SPIDER Low-Side), as well as configurable
8-channel high-/low-side configurations (SPIDER High-/
Low-Side).
It oers not only the scalability through the number of
channels and the current density, but also flexibility
regarding enhanced features like parallel inputs for PWM,
limp home and low-voltage cranking.
A variety of packages is available in order to serve dierent
applications.
