This IC contains two of these power switches (low-side switches). In case of inductive loads the integrated clamp diodes clamp the discharging voltage. If a “high” signal is applied to the enable input both switches can be activated independently of one another with TTL signals at the control inputs (active high). The high impedance inputs should always be connected to a fixed potential (noise immunity). The status output (open collector) signals the following malfunctions with high potential: ● ● ● ● ● Overload, Open load, Shorted load to ground, Overvoltage, Overtemperature.

Not connected Semiconductor Group 296 TLE 4214 G Block Diagram Semiconductor Group 297 TLE 4214 G Circuit Description Input Circuits The control inputs and the enable input consist of TTL-compatible Schmitt triggers with hysteresis. Controlled by these stages the buffer amplifiers drive the NPN power transistors. Switching Stages The output stages consist of NPN power transistors with open collectors. Since the protective circuit allocated to each stage limits the power dissipation, the outputs are shorted-load protected to the supply voltage throughout the entire operating range. Positive voltage peaks, which occur during the switching of inductive loads, are limited by the integrated clamp diodes. Monitoring and Protective Functions During the activated status the outputs are monitored for open load, overload, and shorted load to ground (see table below). In addition, large sections of the circuit are shut down in case of excessive supply voltages VS. Linked via OR gate the information regarding these malfunctions effects the status output (open collector, active high). An internally determined delay time applied to all malfunctions but overvoltage prevents the output of messages in case of short-term malfunctions. Furthermore, a temperature protection circuit prevents thermal overload. If overload occurs, the outputs are protected according to the safe operating area (SOA) mode (see diagram). If voltage and current are outside the SOA, the outputs oscillate to reduce the power dissipation. The switching frequency depends on the internal delay time and the external load (inductances and capacitances). If the frequency is low, the status output may follow the oscillation. An integrated reverse diode protects the supply voltage VS against reverse polarities. Similarly the load circuit is protected against reverse polarities within the limits established by the maximum ratings (no shorted load at the same time!). At supply voltages below the operating range an undervoltage detector ensures that neither the status nor the outputs are activated. At supply voltages below the operating range the output stages are de-activated.
