The SGM42203Q is a high-side driver intended for a wide range of automotive applications. It is usually used to drive resistive or inductive load with the other terminal connected to GND. If low energy spike occurs on VCC, the internal VCC voltage clamp protects the mdevice.

The device integrates current sense function for sensing load current through the current sense pin current out. If any of following occurs, overload current, over-temperature or short-to-VCC, the current sense pin will function to report these faults.

The current limit protects the device in case of overload conditions. Built-in output current limit mask-time allows the current limit to foldback to a preset (selectable) lower level after a preset (adjustable) time delay to  protect the load more robustly per application demands.

The device will be reset by pulling low the fault reset  standby pin (nFR_STBY). Pulling all the inputs and nFR_STBY pins low will disable the device and leave it in standby state.

The device is AEC-Q100 qualified (Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) standard Q100 Grade 1) and it is suitable for automotive applications.

The SGM42203Q is available in a Green TSSOP-16A (Exposed Pad) package.
