Product details
Overview
AT8993-A2-T-1 from Infineon Technologies is a single-channel high-side power switch IC designed for 12 V automotive load driving applications. It features overtemperature shutdown, reverse-battery protection, and ±45 V load-dump tolerance. Typical on-resistance is 30 mΩ at 25 °C, with current-limit threshold of 35 A and integrated diagnostic feedback via open-drain output.
For engineers reviewing the AT8993-A2-T-1 datasheet, AT8993-A2-T-1 pinout, AT8993-A2-T-1 application, or AT8993-A2-T-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include load-current capability, fault-reporting interface compatibility, thermal derating behavior in confined PCB layouts, and compliance with ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a/b requirements.
Technical Context
The AT8993-A2-T-1 integrates a vertical DMOS power transistor with analog current-sensing, thermal foldback, and digital logic for enable/control sequencing. Its internal charge pump sustains gate drive during low-battery conditions down to 4.5 V, enabling cold-crank operation.
Diagnostic reporting includes short-to-battery detection, open-load detection in OFF state, and overcurrent/overtemperature latching with automatic recovery after fault removal. The device operates in both regulated current-limit and thermal shutdown modes without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 60 V - supports 12 V automotive systems with full ISO 7637-2 load-dump immunity |
| RDS(on) | 30 mΩ @ Tj = 25 °C - enables <1 W conduction loss at 10 A continuous load |
| ILIM | 35 A - provides robust short-circuit protection for solenoid and motor loads |
| Thermal shutdown | 175 °C junction - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Diagnostic output | Open-drain, active-low - directly interfaces with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO pins |
| Enable input | CMOS-compatible, 2.0 V threshold - allows direct connection to automotive MCU I/O without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
AT8993-A2-T-1 is housed in a thermally enhanced PG-TO263-7 (D2PAK-7) package with exposed drain pad for PCB heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VS | Battery supply input | Connects to 12 V rail; withstands transients up to +45 V / −40 V |
| OUT | Switched high-side output | Drives load between OUT and GND; internal DMOS drain tied to this pin |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Common return for load current, logic, and diagnostics; must be low-impedance |
| IN | Logic-level enable input | Active-high control; internally pulled down when floating |
| IS | Analog current-sense output | 0.25 V/A scaling; used for real-time load monitoring or closed-loop control |
| SD | Open-drain diagnostic output | Asserts low on overcurrent, overtemperature, or open-load faults |
| EPAD | Exposed drain pad | Electrically connected to VS; requires soldered thermal pad to inner copper layers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse-battery protection | Operates safely with battery polarity reversed up to −16 V without external diode |
| Current-sense accuracy | ±8 % gain error over temperature - enables reliable load monitoring without calibration |
| Low quiescent current | 25 µA in OFF state - meets automotive standby current requirements (ISO 16750-2) |
| Integrated charge pump | Maintains gate drive above 10 V down to 4.5 V supply - ensures turn-on during cold-crank |
Applications
| Headlamp Control | Engine Cooling Fan |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: PWM-controlled 12 V halogen or LED headlamp driver in modern vehicle lighting modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch providing ON/OFF and current-limited drive with real-time IS feedback for brightness regulation.

| Heated Rear Window | Seat Heater Control |
Use Scenario: 12 V resistive heating grid activation in rear window defogger circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust high-side switch with open-load detection to confirm heater element continuity before energizing. Use Value: Prevents false activation due to broken traces or connector faults, reducing warranty claims by detecting opens pre-energization. | Use Scenario: Dual-zone seat heater control with independent current monitoring per zone. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current-regulated high-side driver with IS output feeding ADC for zone-specific thermal feedback. Use Value: Enables precise 1 °C temperature resolution using existing MCU ADC, avoiding dedicated thermal sensor per zone. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STI65HF60 | Higher RDS(on) (60 mΩ), no IS output, only SD diagnostic | Lacks analog current sensing; unsuitable for closed-loop thermal control | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs diagnostic granularity |
| TPS27082L | Lower current limit (12 A), no reverse-battery protection, 5 V only supply | Not rated for automotive 12 V systems or load-dump events | Restricted to industrial 5 V DC-powered equipment |
Compared with STI65HF60 and TPS27082L, AT8993-A2-T-1 uniquely combines automotive-grade transient immunity, analog current sensing, and reverse-battery resilience-making it the only option among the three qualified for ASIL-B-relevant body electronics functions without additional protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for AT8993-A2-T-1?
The AT8993-A2-T-1 supports 35 A continuous current under specified thermal conditions (TA ≤ 85 °C, PCB copper area ≥ 400 mm² per layer, 2 oz Cu). Derating begins above 85 °C ambient, reaching zero at 150 °C ambient with standard layout. Peak pulsed current is 65 A for ≤ 100 ms.
Does AT8993-A2-T-1 require an external flyback diode for inductive loads?
No external flyback diode is required. The device integrates an internal clamp diode capable of handling energy from inductive loads such as fans or solenoids. This diode is rated for repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and average forward current of 10 A, sufficient for typical 12 V automotive inductive switching.
Can AT8993-A2-T-1 be used in parallel for higher current capacity?
Parallel operation is not recommended. The device lacks built-in current-sharing features such as matched RDS(on) or synchronized gate drive. Mismatched thermal behavior and current imbalance may cause premature failure of one unit. For >35 A applications, use a single higher-rated switch like the AT8994-A2-T-1.
Is the IS (current sense) output ratiometric to supply voltage?
No. The IS output is ratiometric to load current only, with fixed 0.25 V/A scaling independent of VS within 4.5–28 V range. Output offset is ±10 mV, and linearity error is ±2 % full scale, verified across −40 to +150 °C junction temperature.
