In the rapidly evolving world of automotive technology, HMI, a trailblazer in advanced analog and power management technologies, has once again demonstrated its commitment to innovation and excellence. The introduction of the HL8518, a single-channel 80 mΩ high-side switch, marks a significant milestone in the quest for more reliable and efficient automotive applications. This pioneering device is engineered to meet the intricate demands of low wattage lamps, high-side relays, valves, and a broad spectrum of resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads, setting a new standard in the industry. At the heart of the HL8518 lies its exceptional 80 mΩ (typical) Rds(on) power FET, a testament to HMI's dedication to pushing the boundaries of power management technology. This high-side power switch not only boasts comprehensive diagnostic capabilities but also incorporates full protection mechanisms and a high-precision current detection function. By facilitating intelligent control of the lo...
