• Manufacturer Part Number: bts3205
• Description: Smart Low-side Power Switch Hitfet
• Manufacturer: Infineon Technologies Corporation

The device provides embedded protection functions. Integrated protection functions are designed to prevent IC
destruction under fault conditions described in the data sheet. Fault conditions are considered as “outside” normal
operation.
6.1
The device is protected against over temperature due to overload and / or bad cooling conditions. To ensure this
a temperature sensor located in the Power MOSFET is used.
The BTS3205G has a thermal auto-restart function. After the device has cooled down it will switch on again see

6.2
When switching off inductive loads with low-side switches, the Drain-Source voltage
potential, because the inductance intends to continue driving the current.
Figure 13
The BTS3205G is equipped with a voltage clamp mechanism that keeps the Drain-Source voltage
level. See
