Description
The IPS4260L is a monolithic high speed (FSW up to 250 kHz) device, which
can drive four independent capacitive, resistive or inductive loads with one side
connected to supply voltage. The channels can be parallelized to reduce power
dissipation.
When connected to Vcc rail, four integrated catch diodes clamp the turn-off transients
generated by inductive loads even with huge inductance; combined with proper
external TVS connected to VCC or to GND the IC allows fast decay, too. Each
channel is protected against overload or short circuit event: the intervention level can
be set by an external resistor on ILIM pin .
Built-in thermal shutdown protects the chip against overtemperature even in case of
short-circuit. If enabled, the integrated cut-off protection features a non-dissipative
protection in case of overload; it limits both the output average current value and,
consequently, the device overheating. Cut-off delay/restart can be programmed by
external resistors on CoD pin; it can be disabled by shorting CoD to GND.
