Abstract
Device structures and characteristics for three Smartdiscretes which have automotive applications are presented. Smartdiscretes are discrete power devices which incorporate a few small signal devices on a chip without added process complexity. The first is a power MOSFET with very low on-resistance and an integral temperature sensor. The second is an ignition coil driver with a temperature-compensated clamp. The third is a device with a built-in current limit, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, and a temperature-compensated clamp that is suitable for driving small inductive loads such as injector drivers
