NCV8460ADR2G

Overview

The NCV8460ADR2G is a high-side smart discrete power driver manufactured by onsemi, designed for switching resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads. It features an N-channel output with a typical on-resistance of 60 mΩ and an internal current limit of 6 A. The device operates within a load voltage range of 6 V to 36 V and supports CMOS-compatible control inputs. Packaged in an 8-SOIC surface-mount case, it includes integrated protection mechanisms such as fixed current limiting, overtemperature shutdown with auto-restart, overvoltage protection, and open-load detection.

Feature Summary

• Integrated advanced protection including short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown with automatic restart, and overvoltage protection.
• Features controlled slew rate functionality to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) during switching operations.
• Includes an integrated clamp circuit for sensing switch and ground loss conditions to ensure reliable operation in harsh environments.

Applications

• Automotive lighting systems
• Solenoid drivers
• Actuator control circuits
• Industrial automation systems
• Power distribution networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'R2G' corresponds to the required tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets RoHS3 compliance standards and holds AEC-Q100 qualification if automotive reliability is required. Ensure the 8-SOIC package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint and thermal management requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel high-side driver with robust fault protection is needed. It is suitable for applications requiring up to 6 A load current and operation within a 6 V to 36 V supply range. Consider its low standby current and EMI reduction features for efficiency-sensitive designs.
