PROFET™ | Industrial Smart High-Side Switch
Industrial PROFET™ products were designed for targeting a variety of industrial applications which include all types of resistive, inductive and capacitive loads
The well-established high-side switch Industrial PROFET™ products were designed for targeting a variety of industrial applications which include all types of resistive, inductive and capacitive loads. Due to their outstanding energy robustness, they are perfectly suitable for switching even higher inductive loads and driving relays. Their main application areas include high-voltage applications (VBAT up to 58 V), high-speed PWM applications (up to 1 kHz) and they are most notably capable of switching higher inductances smoothly. Industrial PROFET™ can be applied to drive any kind of sensor units, Indicators, displays, LEDs, relays, valves and magnetic actuators or replace electromechanical relays, fuses and discrete circuits. Industrial PROFET™ are also the perfect match for applications with long wiring or any other kind of inductive loads or applications with space constraints. Read more on the specific applications, where the Industrial PROFET™ can be used: Industrial Automation, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Digital I/O modules, Building & home management, Solar Applications, Wind energy systems, E-Bikes, Motor control and drives, Power supplies.
