5 Summary

STG testing is a critical step in validation the robustness and reliability of high side switches in various applications. This document outlined the methodology for creating realistic STG conditions, monitoring key parameters such as output current, and fault signaling, and evaluating the devices ability to handle fault events within the electrical specifications. The results of the testing confirm that the HSS evaluated can withstand typical short-to-ground scenarios when operated within the recommended conditions. By simulating worst-case fault conditions in a controlled environment, designers can make sure the selected HSS protects downstream loads and upstream power sources.
