Texas Instruments TPIC2603 6-Channel Serial Interface Low-Side Driver TPIC2603DWG4

The TPIC2603DWG4 is a 6-channel low-side driver designed for controlling inductive and resistive loads such as relays, valves, and lamps. It features a serial interface for control and diagnostics, allowing for efficient communication with microcontrollers. Each output channel can handle a continuous current of 350 mA and is equipped with independent fault detection for shorted loads and open loads, as well as over-temperature and over-voltage protection. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 5V for logic and can handle battery voltages up to 60V. It includes an internal inductive load clamp to protect against voltage transients. The TPIC2603 supports both 8-bit and 16-bit serial data input formats, with fault status communicated through a serial output terminal. It is characterized for operation over a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
