An IPD, or Intelligent Power Device, is a high performance semiconductor power switch with built-in protection circuits capable of absorbing energy such as inductive loads. Depending on the region, it may also be called an IPS (Intelligent Power …

A power switch is a high-performance semiconductor that controls the electrical circuit supplying power to a device. A smart power switch also offers advanced functionality such as power supply protection, load control and protection with diagnosis.

Smart power switches from ROHM’s IPD (intelligent power device) series are available as low-side or high-side switch ICs to provide you with the right part for your application. The designs of these automotive-grade universal switches integrate a low on-resistance MOSFET and multiple protection circuits into one chip.

Jun 25, 2024 · By using IPD switches from ROHM’s AECQ-100 family, you can get the reliability, flexibility, and benefits of a solid-state power device with fewer components while achieving insight and protection that fuses cannot offer.

IPDは Intelligent Power Device の略で、保護回路を内蔵し、誘導性負荷等のエネルギーを吸収できる高性能半導体パワースイッチをいいます。 地域にもよりますが、IPS （Intelligent Power switch）、スマートスイッチ（Smart switch）、ハイサイド/ローサイドスイッチ（Hi-side/Lo-side switch）などと呼ばれることもあります。 一般的に半導体スイッチとして一番に思い浮かぶのは、MOSFETです。 MOSFET単体をスイッチとして使用すると、構成回路上で負荷が …

Advanced power devices with built-in intelligence such as self-protection and diagnostic functions are changing the traditional automotive switches. The features of the following three product series show why intelligent power devices (IPDs) are perfect for …

ROHM’s IPD power switch block features a discrete high current structure capable of covering areas that can only be switched using relays. In addition, the life of semiconductor switches exceeds one million times. This ensures worry-free use, unlike mechanical relays which are susceptible to contact failure due to aging, gases, or carbides.

Intelligent Power Devices (IPDs) integrate the power MOSFET switch, along with all of these discrete protections, into a single chip. This provides a lower cost solution along with enhanced protection performance against overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent, and load short circuiting.

The IPD Motor Rated Enclosed Isolating Switch features a range of attributes to meet your electrical needs. These include padlockable functionality, ensuring secure operation, stainless steel fixings for added durability, and a robust W66B1 base for a reliable foundation.

Infineon's PROFET™ +2 12V is a scalable family of high-side smart power switches with advanced protection and diagnosis for automotive applications.
