PSS10S92F6-AG

Power driver modules are integrated circuits, devices and packages used to increase efficiency in generating and controlling currents and voltages in electrical devices, such as computers and power electronics. One example of a power driver module is the PSS10S92F6-AG, which is an advanced surge protection module with an adjustable current limit.

Component Characteristics

The PSS10S92F6-AG power driver modules are offered in three lead mold packages, the SOT-26, the SOT-223, and the SOIC-8. They have a surge protection capability of 10A and a peak power rating of 220W for 1 second of surge loading. Additionally, the modules use advanced current limiting technology, which provides ultra-low over-current protection for electronics such as smart phones and computing systems, along with higher thermal shutdown temperature and better on-resistance.

Application Field

The PSS10S92F6-AG is designed for effective over-current protection, providing superior solutions with high efficiency, low power loss and heat dissipation. It is ideal for use in a range of electronics, including computing systems, smart phones, laptops, and digital cameras. Additionally, it is also suitable for use in automotive, lighting, solar, and power refresh systems.

Working Principle

The module works by incorporating an adjustable current limit system that works in conjunction with a comparator that monitors the current level. When the current exceeds the limit set by the module, its output will go low, providing complete protection. It also includes thermal shutdown protection, which operates at between 145C and 150C junction temperature. This module offers resettable protection, allowing for recovery from over-current conditions without having to shut down supply or trip a circuit breaker.

Conclusion

The PSS10S92F6-AG is an integrated surge protection module designed for electronic devices, offering superior protection from over-current conditions. Its adjustable current limit system combined with its superior thermal shutdown capabilities ensures a long lifetime for electronic devices and higher efficiency for power systems.
