DESCRIPTION

· The T6816 is a fully protected driver interface designed in 0.8 µm BCDMOS technology.

· It is suitable for truck, bus, and industrial 24-V supply applications.

· Controls up to 12 different loads via a 16-bit dataword.

· Each of the six high-side and six low-side drivers can drive currents up to 600 mA.

· Drivers are freely configurable and controlled via a standard serial data interface.

· Designed to build H-bridges for DC motor control in motion-control applications.

· Offers protection against short-circuit, overtemperature, and undervoltage.

· Features various diagnosis functions and low quiescent current in standby mode.

· Automotive qualified with EMC and 2 kV ESD protection.

FEATURES

· Six high-side and six low-side drivers.

· Outputs configurable as switch, half bridge, or H-bridge.

· Capable of switching DC motors, bulbs, resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

· 0.6A continuous current per switch.

· Low-side RDSon < 1.5 Ω, high-side RDSon < 2.0 Ω across temperature range.

· Quiescent current < 20 µA in standby mode.

· Outputs are short-circuit protected.

· Overtemperature prewarning and protection.

· Undervoltage protection.

· Diagnosis functions for shorted output, open load, overtemperature, and power supply fail.

· Serial data interface.

· Operation voltage up to 40V.

· Daisy chaining possible.

· SO28 power package.

APPLICATIONS
