Description
The L6375D is a monolithic intelligent power
switch in BCDmultipower technology, for driving
inductive or resistive loads with controlled output
voltage slew rate and short-circuit protection.
An internal clamping diode enables the fast
demagnetization of inductive loads. Diagnostics
for CPU feedback and extensive use of electrical
protection make this device extremely rugged and
specially suitable for industrial automation
applications.

Supply voltage input; the value of the supply voltage is monitored to
detect undervoltage condition
This current source output is capable of driving an LED to signal the
status of the output pin. The pin is active (source current) when the
output pin is considered high (see Figure 4)
