New Yorker Electronics is featuring four newly released Vishay eFuses that feature programmable current limits and overvoltage protection (OVP) in a compact 3 mm x 3 mm TDFN package. Designed to operate over a wide 2.8 V to 23 V input voltage range — with a 28 Vin DC tolerance — the 3.5A SiP32433A/B and the 6A SiP32434A/B integrate multiple control and protection features to simplify designs and minimize the need for external components.
While most competing solutions only offer voltages to 18 V according to Vishay, or are missing their low voltage side, the input voltage range of the Vishay Siliconix single-channel load switches allows them to be used in a wider range of designs. The devices are intended for industrial and medical equipment, robotics, consumer goods, home automation systems and gaming consoles, where they provide precise control and swift fault responses to enhance the safety and reliability of system designs.

Competing solutions often require overhead currents of more than 30%. The SiP32433A and SiP32433B with active reverse blocking target applications featuring USB Type-C and multiple power source switching.
The load switches reduce on-resistance by 43% compared to previous-generation solutions, which translates into a 32% higher current capability or increased efficiency at the same current level. The 78 mW SiP32433A/B has a current limit setting range of 0.3 A to 3.5 A, while the 33 mW SiP32434A/B offers a range of 0.5 A to 6 A. Both devices guarantee current limit accuracy down to ±8%, increase design flexibility, and simplify bills of materials. The hot-swappable load switches feature a programmable turn-on slew rate, provide ESD tolerance of 2 kV (human body model) and 0.75 kV (charged device model), and operate over a temperature range of -40° C to 125° C.
