About this manual

The Siemens TLE 4226 G is an integrated sixfold low‑side power switch offering both 50 mA and 500 mA output options, built‑in short‑load protection, and Z‑diodes for inductive load clamping. It is designed for automotive and industrial applications and operates from a 5 V supply with a temperature range of –40 °C to 125 °C.

The document provides pin configurations, electrical characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, and detailed protection mechanisms, including overload, thermal, and short‑load monitoring. Package information for the P‑DSO‑24‑3 surface‑mount package is also included.

Frequently asked questions

What does the preferred‑state (PREFST) input control?

When PREFST is low, switches 1‑4 are turned on and switches 5‑6 are forced off; when PREFST is high, each switch can be controlled individually via its IN pins.

How does the device protect against overload?

Each output monitors its voltage; if the voltage exceeds 4.1 V for more than 10 µs, the output is shut down and the analog and digital status outputs indicate an error.

What are the maximum load currents for the high‑current switches?

Switches 5 and 6 can handle up to 600 mA each, while switches 1‑4 are limited to 50 mA.

What is the thermal shutdown behavior?

If the chip temperature reaches about 155 °C, the status outputs signal over‑temperature and switches 5‑6 are shut down; they can be re‑enabled after cooling below 140 °C.
