ADP196ACBZ-R7

ADP196ACBZ-R7 is an automotive-grade high-side load switch from Analog Devices (ADP196 family). It acts as a protected power switch between input supply and a load, with built‑in protection and status features suitable for automotive and industrial systems.
Key features (typical):
- Wide input range for automotive environments
- Integrated current limit to protect loads and wiring
- Overcurrent/short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown
- Reverse-battery protection and undervoltage lockout
- Enable control and fault/status reporting (open‑drain/type fault output)
- Inrush/soft-start to reduce input surge
- Low quiescent current and fast fault response
Package/ordering:
- CBZ package variant; -R7 indicates tape-and-reel packaging
Applications:
- Power distribution for microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, and other loads in cars, trucks, and industrial equipment
Note:
- Refer to the ADP196 datasheet for exact electrical characteristics, pinout, and application notes for the CBZ(-R7) variant.

Pin count: 16 pins (LFCSP package, code CBZ).
Function: High-side hot‑swap controller that drives an external N‑channel MOSFET and provides current limiting, fault/status signaling (fault latch), and protection features (overcurrent/voltage) for hot-swapping power rails.

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) manufactures the ADP196ACBZ-R7. ADI is an American multinational semiconductor company that designs and makes analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits for various markets (communications, automotive, industrial, consumer).

ADP196ACBZ-R7 is a fault-protected high-side load switch for 12–60 V rails. Common application areas include:
- Automotive power distribution (ECUs, lighting, sensors) with current limiting and short-circuit protection
- Industrial and factory automation power rails
- Hot-swap, precharge, and power-on sequencing in telecom, data‑center, and consumer equipment
- LED lighting and backlighting driver circuits
- Battery-powered devices requiring safe load switching and protection
- General-purpose rail protection and switch control in distributed power architectures

ADP196ACBZ-R7 uses an 8-pin LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package), 3×3 mm with exposed pad. The “R7” denotes tape-and-reel packaging.
