Power switches for power density

With the integration of active and passive components, power switches enable you to achieve higher power density for your power distribution. Our power switches reduce power dissipation and add a number of protection and diagnostic features to ensure your system is fully protected without compromising board space. Our devices also reduce your footprint or improve heat dissipation.

Featured products for Power density
TPS22992 ACTIVE 5.5-V, 6-A, 8.7-mΩ load switch with adjustable rise time and adjustable quick output discha
TPS2597 ACTIVE 2.7-V–23-V, 7-A, 9.8-mΩ eFuse with accurate current monitor and transient overcurrent blanking
TPS272C45 ACTIVE 36-V, 45-mΩ, 3-A, 2-ch, Industrial high-side switch with adjustable current limit

Power switches for low quiescent current (IQ)

Extend battery run-time without giving up system performance with our power switches. Our power switches can reduce leakage current when modules are powered off with their ultra-low shutdown current (ISD). Our devices also offer solutions with low IQ, which can help to extend battery life when the system is operating in a standby mode.

Featured products for low quiescent current (IQ)
NEW LM74720-Q1 ACTIVE Automotive, low IQ ideal diode controller with active rectification and load dump protection
TPS2116 ACTIVE 1.6-V to 5.5-V, 40-mΩ, 2.5-A, low-IQ, priority power multiplexer
TPS22916 ACTIVE 5.5-V, 2-A, 60-mΩ, 10-nA leakage load switch with output discharge

Isolation

Improve system safety with higher reliability isolation compared to electromechanical and traditional photorelay solutions. Using industry-leading capacitive and magnetic isolation technology, our solid-state relay (SSR) portfolio of isolated switches and drivers forms a complete isolated solid-state relay solution with no moving parts. Our SSRs completely integrate the power and signal transfer over an isolation barrier in a single chip reducing solution size and cost for automotive and industrial applications.
