PRODUCTION DATA
When switching off an inductive load, the inductor can impose a negative voltage on the output of the switch. The TPS1HB08-Q1 includes a voltage clamp to limit voltage across the FET. The maximum acceptable load inductance is a function of the device robustness. With a 5mH load, the device can withstand one pulse of 95 mJ inductive dissipation at 125°C and can withstand 56 mJ of one million inductive repetitive pulses with a 10Hz repetitive pulse. If the application parameters exceed this device limit, it is necessary to use a protection device like a freewheeling diode to dissipate the energy stored in the inductor.
