3 Description

TPS1212-Q1 is a family of low IQ smart high

side drivers with protection and diagnostics. With

wide operating voltage range of 3.5V to 73V, 74V

absmax the device is suitable for 12V, 24V, and 48V

automotive system designs.

The devices have two integrated gate drives with

0.5A/2A (GATE) and 100μA/0.39A (G). With LPM low,

the low power path is kept ON and the main FETs

are turned OFF with IQ of 20μA (typ). The auto load

wakeup threshold is adjusted using RBYPASS resistor

placed across DRN and CS2–. IQ reduces to 1μA

(typ) with EN/UVLO low.

The device has accurate bi-directional current sensing

(±2%) output (IMON) with adjustable I2t based

overcurrent and short circuit protection using an

external RSNS resistor and FLT indication. Auto-retry

and latch-off fault behavior can be configured. The

device also has NTC based temperature sensing

(TMP) and monitoring output (ITMPO) output for

overtemperature detection of external FETs.

The TPS1212-Q1 is available in 23-pin VQFN

package.
