Overview

The NCV8402ASTT1G is a self-protected 2.0A N-Channel Low-Side MOSFET driver designed for rugged automotive and industrial switching environments. It integrates protection features such as current limiting, thermal shutdown with auto-restart, and overvoltage clamping to replace standard MOSFETs in high-reliability applications. This AEC-Q100 qualified device is capable of switching inductive, capacitive, or resistive loads while maintaining a low typical Rds(on) of 165mOhm.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers comprehensive fault protection including fixed current limiting and thermal shutdown with an automatic restart feature. It simplifies PCB design by integrating the gate drive logic and protective clamping circuitry into a compact SOT-223 package, reducing component count compared to discrete MOSFET solutions.

Applications

Automotive Body Electronics
Driving relay coils, small motors, and lamps where short-circuit and over-temperature protection are critical for vehicle safety.
Solenoid and Valve Control
Utilizing the integrated inductive clamp to safely dissipate energy when switching inductive loads in fluid control systems.
Industrial PLC Outputs
Serving as a robust digital output driver that can survive accidental wiring shorts or thermal overloads without permanent damage.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, design a PCB footprint for the SOT-223 package with sufficient copper area on Pin 4 (Tab) for thermal dissipation. Ensure the logic-level input signal does not exceed 14V, and verify that the load current remains within the 2.0A continuous rating for the intended ambient temperature.
