Component building blocks

Functional blocks for selection; device connections and component values depend on your design.

FUNCTION / 01

High-side load switching

Control a DC load using the handbook-listed smart high-side switches. Match the operating-voltage range and load current to the circuit.

FUNCTION / 02

Current monitoring

Amplify the voltage across a current-sense resistor. Check input common-mode range, gain and error budget.

FUNCTION / 03

Auxiliary power rails

Generate local controller and analog rails with step-down conversion and LDO regulation. Match the input range and current to the rail.
