Smart Low Side Power Switch
HITFET - BTS3160D
Protection Functions
The test setup for short circuit characterization is shown in Figure 21. The BTS3160D is a low side switch.
Therefore it can be assumed that the micro controller and device GND connection have a low impedance. The V
s
voltage needs to be stabilized to ensure the protection features. In application this is often already covered from
the module standard circuits.
