Application Description
This IC is specially designed to drive inductive loads up to 2 A nominal current (valves,
relays, etc.). Integrated clamp-diodes limit the output voltage when inductive loads are
turned off.
For the detection of errors at the load there is a serial diagnostic interface, which
monitors the following errors for every output separately:
– open load in inactive mode
– shorted output (shorted to ground) in inactive mode
– overload or shorted load in active mode
Circuit Description
The block diagram shows the four independent power drivers with the referring logic
block and the serial diagnostic interface which stores and transfers the diagnostic
signals to the external circuit. Each power switch connects a high side load to ground
when a LOW signal applies at the inputs. To protect the IC against short circuit and over
load each output is provided with a current limitation and a delayed overload shutdown.
The slew rate of the switching process is limited internally.
The integrated clamp diodes limit the voltage at the output to
V
, when inductive
DS(AZ)
loads are switched off. The maximum power dissipation, which is given from the static
and dynamic thermal resistance, limits the allowable inductive energy. A diode in parallel
to every output clamps negative voltage.
All outputs, preferably the outputs 1 and 2 and the outputs 3 and 4 may be used in
parallel (no addition of max. freewheeling energy).
A curve of the output voltage is shown in figure 6.
The diagnostic block monitors the voltages across the power switch. If in active mode
(LOW level input) there is a higher voltage than
V
for a time longer than t

VDS(OV)
, the
diagnostic block will show an overload in the error register and the affected power switch
will be shut off. The switch can only be reactivated if the corresponding input is switched
off and then on again.
In inactive mode (HIGH level at input) open load or shorted output (shorted load to
ground) is detected and signalled to the serial diagnostic interface. If the voltage across
the power switch is lower than

A new error on the same output stage will over-write the old error report. The protocol of
the serial diagnostic interface includes independent error reports for each output driver.
As soon as an error is latched into the error register the serial data output (SEROUT) of
the interface will go LOW (while CS is still HIGH). If the chip select gets a LOW signal

TLE 5216 G
(CS = L), all error reports can be shifted out serially. The rising edge of the CS will reset
all error registers. The function of the serial diagnostic interface is shown in figure 7.
The data input (SERIN) allows several TLE 5216 G or other serial diagnostic interfaces
to be cascaded.
A LOW signal on the reset pin (RESET) or a supply voltage lower than the operating
range (4.5 V) will erase the error register and disable all four power switches.
