The NCV8461 is a fully protected High-Side driver that can be used to switch a wide variety of loads, such as bulbs, solenoids and other activators. The device is internally protected from an overload condition by an active current limit and thermal shutdown. A diagnostic output reports OFF state open load conditions as well as thermal shutdown.
