Product details
Overview
UPD166038T1J-E1-AY from Renesas is a dual-channel N-channel high-side intelligent power switch with integrated charge pump, 3.3 V logic-compatible input, proportional load current sensing (KILIS = 2720–4080), short-circuit protection (IL(SC) = 47–75 A), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive 14 V DC grounded loads. It delivers 20 mΩ on-resistance per channel at 25 °C and supports flasher driver and LED switching applications.
For engineers reviewing the UPD166038T1J-E1-AY datasheet, UPD166038T1J-E1-AY pinout, UPD166038T1J-E1-AY application, or UPD166038T1J-E1-AY equivalent, this device offers diagnostic feedback via IS pins, active clamp operation for inductive loads, loss-of-ground protection, and thermal toggling with 150 °C absolute shutdown-critical for fail-safe power switching in automotive body control modules.
Technical Context
This IPD integrates two independent high-side channels in a single 12-pin Power HSSOP package, each featuring voltage-controlled input with hysteresis (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.5 V), dynamic clamp circuitry for inductive load turn-off (Von,clamp = 30–40 V), and dual-stage thermal protection: power-limiting mode triggered by ΔTch ≥ 60 °C and absolute Tch shutdown at 150 °C with 10 °C hysteresis.
The device implements three-tier fault response: latched shutdown for overcurrent (IL(SC)), auto-restarting current limitation under overload (IL(CL) = 33 A), and thermal toggling (IL(TT) = 25 A). Diagnostic output on IS pins provides analog-sense current (IIS = IL/KILIS) or fault-state current (IIS,fault = 3–9.5 mA) depending on SEN pin state and load condition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (per channel) | 20 mΩ at 25 °C - enables low conduction loss for 4 A continuous load at 13.5 V supply |
| Overcurrent detection threshold | 47–75 A - triggers immediate latched shutdown to protect against hard short circuits |
| Current sense ratio (KILIS) | 2720–4080 - maps 4.8 A load to 1.18–1.77 mA IS output, enabling precise MCU-based current monitoring |
| Thermal shutdown temperature | 150 °C with 10 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent junction damage during sustained overload |
| Supply voltage range | 4.5–28 V - supports cold-crank (4.5 V) and load-dump (42 V transient) conditions in automotive 12 V systems |
| Logic interface compatibility | 3.3 V CMOS - directly interfaces with modern automotive microcontrollers without level-shifting |
| Inductive energy dissipation (EAS) | 70 mJ single-pulse - sustains turn-off transients from 3.4 Ω inductive loads without external snubber |
Pinout & Package
UPD166038T1J-E1-AY uses a 12-pin Power HSSOP package with exposed VCC tab for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 is GND; pins 10/11 and 8/9 are paired OUT1 and OUT2 outputs respectively; pins 2/5 are IN1/IN2; pins 3/4 are IS1/IS2; pin 7 is SEN; pins 6/12 and tab connect to VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Must be connected through 100 Ω resistor or diode to prevent reverse-current damage during battery reversal |
| 2 (IN1), 5 (IN2) | Channel enable inputs | 3.3 V–compatible logic inputs with hysteresis; pulled down internally to ensure safe default-off state |
| 3 (IS1), 4 (IS2) | Diagnostic current outputs | Provide proportional load current (IIS = IL/KILIS) or fault current (3–9.5 mA) based on load and protection state |
| 6, 12, Tab (VCC) | Power supply & output rail | Supplies logic and power stages; tab enhances thermal transfer to PCB copper area (Rth(ch-c) = 1.1 °C/W) |
| 7 (SEN) | Sense enable control | High enables current sensing; low disables IS output and forces <1 µA leakage for low-power diagnostics |
| 8/9 (OUT2), 10/11 (OUT1) | Protected high-side outputs | Dual-channel outputs with active clamp, cross-current protection, and open-load detection capability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in charge pump | Enables full enhancement of N-channel MOSFETs from 4.5 V supply, eliminating need for external high-side gate driver |
| Proportional load current sensing | Provides real-time analog feedback (KILIS = 2720–4080) for closed-loop current control and predictive diagnostics |
| Active clamp at inductive turn-off | Clamps VOUT to 30–40 V during inductive flyback, preventing voltage overshoot without external components |
| Loss-of-ground protection | Guarantees safe shutdown if GND connection fails while load remains grounded, avoiding uncontrolled output activation |
| Power limitation with ΔTch control | Auto-restarts with current limiting (IL(CL) = 33 A) when junction-to-control-area temperature difference exceeds 60 °C |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including temperature cycling, humidity, and ESD (2 kV HBM, 4 kV IEC61000-4-2) |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current supported by UPD166038T1J-E1-AY per channel?
UPD166038T1J-E1-AY supports up to 4 A continuous load current per channel at Tch = 25 °C with proper PCB thermal design (50 mm × 50 mm × 1.5 mm FR4 with 6 cm² copper). Derating applies above 85 °C ambient; the device enters power limitation at 33 A or absolute thermal shutdown at 150 °C junction temperature. Actual usable current depends on layout, airflow, and duty cycle.
How does UPD166038T1J-E1-AY implement open-load detection?
UPD166038T1J-E1-AY detects open-load conditions at OFF-state by monitoring VOUT: when input is low and VOUT rises above 2.0–5.0 V (e.g., due to leakage or floating load), the IS pin outputs IIS,fault after a 300 µs delay. This allows MCU-based diagnostics without external comparators or pull-up networks.
Can UPD166038T1J-E1-AY drive inductive loads such as solenoids or relays?
Yes, UPD166038T1J-E1-AY is designed for inductive loads: its integrated dynamic clamp circuit limits VOUT to 30–40 V during turn-off, dissipating up to 70 mJ per pulse. For repetitive switching, ensure EAR ≤ 35 mJ and use recommended 50–100 nF parallel capacitors at OUT pins to suppress ringing.
What is the role of the SEN pin on UPD166038T1J-E1-AY?
The SEN pin on UPD166038T1J-E1-AY enables or disables current sensing: when high, IS pins output proportional load current (IIS = IL/KILIS); when low, IS pins sink <1 µA leakage current. This allows time-multiplexed diagnostics or low-power sleep modes without disconnecting sense resistors.
Is UPD166038T1J-E1-AY compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifting?
Yes, UPD166038T1J-E1-AY features 3.3 V–compatible logic inputs (VIL = 0.8 V max, VIH = 2.5 V min) and operates with input voltages from 0 to 16 V. Its internal pull-down ensures safe default-OFF behavior even when MCU pins float during reset or deep sleep.
