Instructions for TLE7236SE

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_CC) is within the range of 4.5V to 5.5V.
   • Use appropriate decoupling capacitors (typically 100nF and 10μF) close to the power pins to reduce noise and improve stability.

2. Output Current:

   • The device can provide a continuous output current of up to 1.5A per channel.
   • For pulse applications, the peak output current can be up to 2.5A with a pulse width of ≤ 1 ms and a duty cycle of ≤ 1%.

3. Thermal Management:

   • Monitor the thermal shutdown temperature (T_SD) which is typically around 160°C to 180°C.
   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation by using a heatsink if necessary, especially in high-current applications.

4. Operating and Storage Temperature:

   • The operating temperature range (T_A) is from -40°C to 125°C.
   • The storage temperature range (T_STG) is from -65°C to 150°C.

5. Quiescent Current:

   • The quiescent current (I_Q) is typically 10mA and should not exceed 20mA when all outputs are off.

6. Short-Circuit Protection:

   • The device has built-in short-circuit protection that limits the output current to 1.5A to 2.0A and will auto-restart after 100ms.

7. Under-Voltage and Over-Voltage Protection:

   • The under-voltage lockout (UVLO) activates at 4.0V to 4.2V, preventing operation below this threshold.
   • Over-voltage protection (OVP) ensures the device does not operate above 6.0V.

8. Handling and Storage:

   • Store the device in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage.
   • Handle with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the device.

9. Application Notes:

   • Refer to the datasheet for detailed application notes and circuit diagrams to ensure proper integration into your design.
   • Consider using external components like flyback diodes for inductive loads to protect the device from back EMF.
