Technical Specifications

The BTS412B2 is a high-side switch with a typical on-resistance (RDS(on)) of around 50 mΩ to 100 mΩ, depending on the specific operating conditions and temperature. The operating voltage range is typically from 5V to 34V, suitable for automotive applications. The switch incorporates protection features such as overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, and overtemperature protection. Diagnostic feedback is provided to monitor the switch's status and detect fault conditions. The quiescent current is kept low to minimize power consumption. Given the age of the part and its EOL status, be aware of potential obsolescence and alternative solutions.
