The ON Semiconductor NCV8461DR2G is an IC power switch designed specifically for power distribution applications. It has a 40V, 1.2A rating, making it suitable for supplying power to medium-power electronic systems, either directly or through a regulator. It features high-side driver capabilities, allowing it to switch power off and on with minimal external components. The NCV8461DR2G's built-in current-limiting, thermal protection and fault lockout functions facilitate safe and reliable power delivery. This IC is packed in a low-profile, surface-mount SOT23-6 package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
