About Classic PROFET™ 12V for automotive power distribution

Infineon's Classic PROFET™ 12V  devices offer a RDS(on) range from 5 – 300 mΩ (0,2 - 20 A). The smart 12V high-side switches are very reliable and robust products (proven technology, more than 15 years in the market). State-of-the-art protection features and diagnostic functions, specific characteristics and packages enable them to address a broad range of applications from body, powertrain, transmission, to chassis even in harsh environments. Typical applications are fuel injection, brake control, seat heating, chassis control, pumps, and all kind of valves/solenoid switching.

Classic PROFET™ 12V for automotive power distribution

Infineon's Classic PROFET™ 12V family in addition to 1- and 2-ch- switches also offers a couple of 4-ch devices, which provide an attractive channel price and contribute to PCB space savings, as well as products in very small DSO-8 packages. Thanks to products with high energy capability (> 500 mJ), even big solenoids can be driven. High ohmic products (up to 300 mOhm) make the portfolio more scalable and avoid overhead costs. All products with Inom > 5A provide the enhanced current sense diagnostics; the remaining products mainly have status diagnostics. All products are qualified according to AEC Q100.

Classic PROFET™ 12V for extended application range

Infineons Classic PROFET™ 12V family are mature products, long time proven in the market. Because of the specific features, the products can not only be used for comfort and saftey functions (Body/ECU/ Zone )  but also to control car basic functions. Because of the extended operating voltage range, even industrial application can be addressed. Products will stay  in the portfolio as long as producable, as supplement to the newer Infineon's product families, such as PROFET™ + 2.

Classic PROFET™ 12V design support

Infineon offers a range of design-in materials, which include application notes, PCB design data, simulation models, and online simulations that are available on each product page in the "Design Support" section. In addition, we offer a dedicated tool suite for smart power switches and gate driver ICs for automotive power distribution.

Infineon smart power switches and gate driver tool suite support system architects and hardware designers from idea to realization. This suite allows the user to select the right smart power switch or gate driver IC for a specific load using one of the “Finder & Selection” tools. Together with the different “Simulation & Modeling” tools, various application scenarios can be simulated for the respective product. The results can be documented in the report tool and verified with the “Configuration” tools.

When facing a design challenge, Infineon Developer Community is available 24-7 to connect and network with engineers across the globe. Get help from Infineon support engineers, and expert members to solve design challenges anytime and from anywhere.
