9.2.2.2 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. When turning on it is recommended to use TX not EN (keep high) for the best results.

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. When turning on it is recommended to use TX not EN (keep high) for the best results.

The equivalent protection circuits are shown in Figure 9-3 and Figure 9-4. The minimum value of the resistive load R can be calculated as:
