TLE 6240 GP is a 16-channel low-side switch that uses Smart Power Technology (SPT) and has 16 open drain DMOS output stages. It has short circuit protection, over temperature protection, overvoltage protection, 16-bit serial data input and diagnostic output (2 bit/channel, according to SPI protocol), eight-channel parallel control, parallel input high or low active programmable, general fault flag, low quiescent current, compatible with 3V microcontrollers, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and other functions. It is suitable for 12 V and 24 V applications of µC compatible power switch, automotive and industrial system switch, solenoids, relays and resistive loads, and robotic controls.
