STMicroelectronics has released single-channel versions of its programmable high-side switches, the IPS1025H and the IPS1025H-32. With built-in protection for undervoltage, overvoltage, overload, and overtemperature, they enable the intelligent driving of capacitive, resistive, or inductive loads — which draw high startup current. The internally programmed current limit differentiates between the IPS1025H and IPS1025H-32. The IPS1025H limit is 2.5A and it…
