Switching solutions with flexible output stages
Product Features
- Power and control chipset
- Serial and parallel control for interfacing FETs
- 2 A Continuous power FET outputs
- 55 V Internal inductive load clamps
- Characterized for operation from -40°C to 125°C
The latest Power+ chipsets offer separate FET pre-drivers and
power DMOS arrays. This new chipset approach offers you the flexibility
to tailor the output stage FETs and on-resistances to meet a specific
load requirement. They provide a cost-effective alternative to
the traditional single-chip custom solutions, often characterized
by high risk and long development time.
This new family offers 6-channel (TPIC46L01/02) and 4-channel
(TPIC44L01/02) solutions for switching inductive loads such as
solenoids, valves, relays, lamps, and motors.
Typical applications:
- Engine control systems
- Automotive Safety systems
- Industrial control systems
- Robotics
- Electronic data processing
Pre-Drivers
The TPIC46L01/02 and TPIC44L01/02 (02 version offers an auto enable)
are low-side FET pre-drivers designed primarily for low frequency
switching. These devices are cascadable and offer diagnostics
with real-time fault status returned through the serial output.
The pre-drivers outputs feature inductive voltage transient protection
and high impedance inputs with hysteresis.
Power+ Arrays™
The TPIC2601 and TPIC2401 are monolithic power arrays that consist
of electrically isolated N-channel, enhancement-mode, DMOS transistors
configured with common source and open drains. The devices feature
integrated high-current diodes to provide 2000 V ESD protection
(human body model) and gate damage overstress protection.
- System flexibility - the capability to customize the
output stage to satisfy drive requirements
- Cost-effective alternative - improved silicon efficiency
and lower total packaging cost
- Off-the-shelf solution - availability plus low-risk
In separating the power section from the control, this architecture
allows a standard pre-driver to interface to various power switches.
This offers added benefits over integrated solutions to meet demanding
power switching needs.
These devices are available in SSOP and PowerFLEX™ packages.
