description
The TPIC44H01 is a four channel high-side pre-FET driver which provides serial or parallel input interface to
control four external NMOS power FETs. It is designed for use in low frequency switching applications for
resistive or inductive loads, including solenoids and incandescent bulbs.
Each channel has over-current, short-to-ground, and open-load detection that is flagged through the FLT pin
and distinguished through the serial interface. Over-current thresholds are set through the V
and
(PK_x)
V
pins. Short-to-ground and open-load thresholds are set internally to approximately 2.5 V. The
(COMP1-4)
AR_ENBL pin is used to define the operation of the device during a fault condition, allowing the outputs to either
latch off or to enter a low duty cycle, auto-retry mode. An over-voltage lockout circuit on V protects the
(PWR)
device and the external FETs. A low current sleep state mode is provided to allow the TPIC44H01 to be used
in applications where V is connected directly to the battery. An internal charge pump allows the use of
(PWR)
N-channel FETs for high-side drive applications, while current-limit gate drive provides slope control for reduced
RFI.
By having the unique ability to develop a dynamic over-current threshold, the TPIC44H01 can be used to drive
incandescent bulbs with long inrush currents without falsely flagging a fault. Likewise, the user can select an
internally set over-current threshold of ~1.25 V by pulling the respective V
pin to V
.
