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

6.3
The condition short circuit is an overload condition of the device. If the current reaches the value of
starts to limit the current. In the condition of current limitation the device heats up. If the thermal shutdown
temperature is reached the device turns off.
current is above
Figure 15
As the device is a low side switch it can be assumed that the Source to Ground path has a neglectable low
impedance and resistance. Therefore all impedance and resistance in the load path during short circuit is merged
into Zsc.
