8.2.2.2 Driving Inductive Loads

The TIOL221 is capable of magnetizing and demagnetizing large inductive loads. These devices contain internal circuitry that enables fast and safe demagnetization when configured as either P-switch or N-switch mode.

In P-switch configuration, the load inductor L is magnetized when the driver (CQ or DO) output is driven high. When the PNP is turned off, there is a significant amount of negative inductive kick back at the driver output pin. This voltage is safely clamped internally at about −15V.

Similarly, in N-switch configuration, the load inductor L is magnetized when the driver output is driven low. When the NPN is turned off, there is a significant amount of positive inductive kick back at the driver output pin. This voltage is safely clamped internally at about 15V.

The equivalent protection circuits are shown in Figure 8-3 and Figure 8-4. The minimum value of the resistive load R can be calculated as:
