LX7712
120V, 5A, LCL/RLCL Programmable Current Limiting Power Switch For Space
Description
The LX7712 is a radiation-hardened-by-design power switch for integration into spacecraft power distribution systems as an electronic fuse for power line protection. DC supplies up to 120V with continuous current rating up to 5A can be easily turned on and off with slew rate programmability. The LX7712 includes a P-channel MOSFET power switch and catch diode for inductive loads.
The LX7712 is configurable as either a latchable current limiter or a fold-back current limiter, with optional thermal shutdown. Multiple LX7712 devices can be paralleled to increase the current rating. The current limit, on/off slew rate, and fault response fault timers are programmed with passive external components.
