The NCV8445 is a fully protected High−Side driver that can be used
to switch a wide variety of loads, such as bulbs, solenoids and other
acuators. The device is internally protected from an overload
condition by an active current limit and thermal shutdown.
A diagnostic output reports ON and OFF state open load conditions
as well as thermal shutdown.
