STEF12H60GPUR

The STEF12H60G is a 60 A integrated electronic fuse optimized for monitoring the output current and the input voltage, over the 12 V DC power lines.

When connected in series to the main power rail, it is able to detect and react to overcurrent conditions.

When an overload condition occurs, the device reacts as a timed circuit breaker, cutting off the output current.

A precise current monitor signal provides continuous information about the load current to the system controller IC.

Similarly, a precise temperature sensor generates a monitor signal that permits the system controller to keep the device power dissipation under control.

Turn-on time is programmable, which helps control the inrush current during start-up operations.

Multiple devices can work in parallel and smoothly share the current during the start-up phase, thanks to a dedicated current balancing feature.

The device also embeds an undervoltage lockout feature, self-diagnostics and absolute thermal protection.
