About

What are the SPOC™ Smart Guard benefits in ADAS & power distribution?

Enable reliable ADAS and Power distribution with SPOC™ Smart Guard 12V, Infineon's 6-channel smart switches with Serial Peripherial Interface (SPI) and state-of-the-art features.

The devices feature digital diagnosis for predictive maintenance, reducing warranty claims and improving overall vehicle reliability. Configurable overcurrent limitation and capacitive load charging provide load supply protection and enhanced load driving capability. Idle mode enables continuous monitoring and control during parking, improving vehicle safety. The devices are packaged in a small TFDSO-16 package, reducing system size while improving reliability and performance. With its comprehensive feature set, including PRO-SIL™ ISO26262 compliance, the SPOC™ Smart Guard 6-channel devices ensure functional safety considerations are seamlessly integrated, supporting advanced zone control and autonomous driving systems that prioritize safety and reliability.

ISO 26262 compliance - dependable electronics with Functional Safety

With Infineon’s SPOC™ Smart Guard 12V, designers are well prepared for today's and upcoming challenges of the automotive electronic/electrical (E/E) architectures. Those architectures demand components that meet the requirements for PRO-SIL™ ISO 26262-compliant and PRO-SIL™ ISO 26262-ready classifications used in fail-safe and in fail-operational power distribution systems.
