Infineon Technologies' SHIELDBTS500151TADTOBO1 is a 12 V protected high side switch shield for Arduino. It adds powerful high side switches to Arduino projects. The shield can be controlled with the general logic IO-ports of a microcontroller. The high side switch shield can also be used in stand-alone mode without any microcontroller board. Since the input pin IN can be connected directly to VS (battery voltage), the first stand-alone tests with this high side switch shield is very easy.
On board the high side switch shield is a self-protected BTS500151TADATMA1 mounted. The BTS500151TADATMA1 is an N-channel high side MOSFET with an integrated driver IC in one package from the Power PROFET™ family from Infineon Technologies. In addition to the driver, several security features have been integrated, like over-temperature, short-circuit and over- voltage protection. With the enhanced current sense pin IS it is possible to give a fault feedback after an over-temperature shut down, short to circuit or open load. For more information, please see the datasheet of the BTS500151TADATMA1. The BTS500151TADATMA1 is easy to control by applying logic level signals to the IN pin.
