Working Principles

The DRV101FKTWTG3 operates as a high-side power switch by controlling the connection between the load and the power supply. When the logic-level input (IN) is high, the power switch turns on, allowing current to flow from the power supply to the load. Conversely, when the input is low, the power switch turns off, interrupting the current path.

The integrated overcurrent protection monitors the load current and automatically shuts off the power switch if the current exceeds a predefined threshold. Additionally, the thermal shutdown protection prevents the device from overheating by disabling the power switch when the temperature rises above a certain limit.
