The NCV84160 is a fully protected single channel high side driver that can be used to switch a wide variety of loads, such as bulbs, solenoids, and other actuators. The device incorporates advanced protection features such as active inrush current management, over-temperature shutdown with automatic restart and an overvoltage active clamp. A dedicated Current Sense pin provides precision analog current monitoring of the output as well as fault indication of short to battery, short circuit to ground, and ON and OFF state open load detection. An active high Current Sense Disable pin allows all diagnostic and current sense features to be disabled.
