The supply voltage VB of the device can range from 8 to 30 V. Output source/sink-current is at least 150 mA, with saturation voltages of typically 2 V. With input OE on high level state, the output works as a push-pull stage under control of pin IN. If pin IN is set either to high or low level, the output acts as a high-side (PNP) or low-side (NPN) driver which is activated by a high logic level on input OE. Output transitions are slew-rate limited to minimize interference on lines. The output is current limited to 450 mA maximum and short circuit protected by shutting down the device with excessive temperature. A regulated 5 V supply which can be loaded up to 10 mA is available at pin VOUT.

They are designed to cope with high driver currents. The switches are reverse-polarity protected, feature a free-wheeling circuit for inductive loads, and a current limited output. Reverse polarity protection The pins VB, OUT an GND on the line side of the chip are reverse polarity protected. As far as the maximum voltage ratings are not exceeded, no possible supply combination at the line side pins can damage the chip. I(OUT) Isc()lo GND V(OUT) 3V A B VB C 36V Figure 1: OUT characteristic when Low side active Output characteristics of OUT The switching channel is current limited to a value between 150mA and 450mA. (cf. Electrical Characteristics Nos. 103, 104). The current limitation works only for voltages higher than 3 V at OUT resp. lower than VBO − 3 V. For smaller output voltages the current limitation is reduced in order to minimise the saturation voltages without increasing the power dissipation. Figures 1 and 2 show the characteristic of the switching channels when activated. Region "A" is the saturation range, where the current limitation is not fully active yet and region "B" is the current limited range. Region "C" corresponds to the free-wheeling circuit activated. The switching channel is designed so that the low side can only sink current and high side can only source current (no reverse current). Free-wheeling circuit for inductive loads The free-wheeling circuit is always present and does not depend on the current output status. It is activated by voltages higher than 36 V at OUT referenced to GND or lower than -36 V at OUT referenced to VB. In that case the correspondent channel will switch on without current limitation (see Figure 3).

Figure 4 shows the high-side operation where IN pin must be kept high and the OE pin controls the switch. Figure 5 shows the low-side operation where IN pin must be kept low and the OE pin controls the switch. Figure 6 shows the push-pull operation where OE pin must be kept high and the IN pin controls the switch. VB REG + - VOUT VREF VB 5V <150 C 36V CVOUT 100nF..

Every pulse at OE or IN pins shorter than 1.6 µs (cf. Electrical Characteristics No. 306) will be ignored and the output will not react. The minimum required pulse length to be sure that the output reacts is 4 µs (cf. Electrical Characteristics No. 307). That means that every pulse longer than 4 µs will be propagated to the output but with an additional propagation delay of 1.2 µs maximum. The resulting maximum propagation delay is 5.2 µs (cf. Electrical Characteristics No. 305). tpio ttrig() IN EN NEP OUT Figure 7: Timing diagram in push-pull operation mode VB REG + - VOUT VREF ..30V VB CVB 1μF High Side Sw. 5V <150 C NEP 36V CVOUT 100nF..
