8.1 Application Information

The TPS4H160-Q1 device is capable of driving a wide variety of resistive, inductive, and capacitive loads, including the low-wattage bulbs, LEDs, relays, solenoids, heaters, and sub-modules. Full diagnostics and high-accuracy current-sense features enable intelligent control of the load. An external adjustable current limit improves the reliability of the whole system by clamping the inrush or overload current.
