T6816
Description
The T6816 is a fully protected driver interface designed in 0.8 碌m BCDMOS technol-
ogy. It is especially suitable for truck or bus applications and the industrial 24-V supply.
It controls up to 12 different loads via a 16-bit dataword.
Each of the six high-side and six low-side drivers is capable to drive currents up to
600 mA. The drivers are freely configurable and can be controlled separately from a
standard serial data interface. Therefore, all kinds of loads such as bulbs, resistors,
capacitors and inductors can be combined. The IC is also designed to easily build H-
bridges to drive DC motors in motion-control applications.
Protection is guaranteed in terms of short-circuit conditions, overtemperature and
undervoltage. Various diagnosis functions and a very low quiescent current in standby
mode open a wide range of applications.
Overvoltage protection is matched to the requirements of the 24-V industrial voltage
and the 24-V automotive supply. Automotive qualification referring to conducted inter-
ferences, EMC protection and 2 kV ESD protection gives added value and enhanced
quality for the exacting requirements of automotive applications.
