7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPL740LA-Q1 integrates seven low side NMOS transistors that are capable of sinking up to 600 mA and
wide GPIO range capability.
The TPL7407LA-Q1 comprises seven high voltage, high current NMOS transistors tied to a common ground
driven by internal level shifting and gate drive circuitry. The TPL7407LA-Q1 offers solutions to many interface
needs, including solenoids, relays, lamps, small motors, and LEDs. Applications requiring sink currents beyond
the capability of a single output may be accommodated by paralleling the outputs.
The TPL7407LA-Q1 also enables pin to pin replacement with legacy 7 channel darlington pair implementations.
This device can operate over a wide temperature range (–40°C to +125°C).

7.3 Feature Description
Each channel of the TPL7407LA-Q1 consists of high power low side NMOS transistors driven by level shifting
and gate driving circuitry. The gate drivers allow for high output current drive with a very low input voltage,
meaning full operation with low GPIO voltages.
In order to enable floating inputs a 1-MΩ pull-down resistor exists on each channel. Another 50-kΩ resistor exists
between the input and gate driving circuitry. This exists to limit the input current whenever there is an over
voltage and the internal Zener clamps. It also interacts with the inherent capacitance of the gate driving circuitry
to behave as an RC snubber to help prevent spurious switching in noisy environment.
In order to power the gate driving circuitry an LDO exists. See the Power Supply Recommendations section for
further detail on this circuitry.
The diodes connected between the output and COM pin is used to suppress kick-back voltage from an inductive
load that is excited when the NMOS drivers are turned off (stop sinking) and the stored energy in the coils
causes a reverse current to flow into the coil supply.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Inductive Load Drive
When the COM pin is tied to the coil supply voltage, the TPL7407LA-Q1 is able to drive inductive loads and
suppress the kick-back voltage via the internal free wheeling diodes.
7.4.2 Resistive Load Drive
When driving a resistive load, a pull-up resistor is needed in order for the TPL7407LA-Q1 to sink current and for
there to be a logic high level. The COM pin must be supplied ≥ 6.5 V for full functionality.
