TIDA-010004

This reference design demonstrates a multi-load drive using one driver chip in multiple configurations enabling reduced inventory. The multiple loads include one bipolar stepper motor, one brushed DC motor, and three actuator or solenoid loads driven from a 12-V DC supply. The design shows less than two percent accuracy error in input current limit, that helps to achieve a precise power limit for helping easy qualification as a low-power circuit, defined by IEC 60335-1. This reference design incorporates enhanced protections like open load detect, noise tolerant short circuit, overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, surge and ESD protection all which helps to achieve a reliable and robust system design.
