The AS1917R-T is a part manufactured by ams, a global leader in the design and manufacture of advanced sensor solutions. It is an advanced, low-power, noise-immune switch used to control the power supply in various applications. This switch features high ESD immunity and is designed to meet extreme environmental and mechanical shock requirements. The switch can be used to control up to 4.8V, and can handle up to 20A at low voltage (2.8V) or up to 1A at higher voltages (4.8V). The switch also includes an advanced and patented "acceleration sensing" design, which allows it to detect sudden changes in voltage, making it an ideal solution for automotive, telecommunication, and consumer applications. Finally, the AS1917R-T is RoHS compliant.
