Is the IT ADS 7830I 8BTL chip able to used as a bi-directional logic level converter (for low voltages)?

[@robr8554]

Can these be used for load switches to switch high currents? Looks like the single one can be used.

Hi @robr8554, Yes the single FET devices such as LMG3100R017 can be used as load switches. The PWM signal needs to come externally for the switch to operate with no need for a driver as that comes integrated with the device.

@@TexasInstruments is there an app note showing where to apply the PWM signal to keep the internal bootstrap cap charged? I plan to use it as a load switch
