The device integrates 6 high-side drivers, OUT7 - OUT12, that can be programmed to drive several load types. Each high-side driver has selectable high or low overcurrent protection and open-load current thresholds. OUT7 can be configured to drive lamps, bulbs, or LEDs. All high-side drivers also have a fixed-time constant current mode intended for driving high capacitance LED modules.
Every high-side driver has open-load detection, overcurrent protection and short-circuit protection . OUT7 in both low RDSON and high RDSON mode has an optional ITRIP regulation for lamp or bulb loads. OUT8 - OUT12 also have optional ITRIP regulation which is activated if the respective overcurrent threshold (high or low) is exceeded. This feature can be used for driving larger LED modules or other load types with OUT8 - OUT12. If the electrochromic driver is used, OUT11 can be used to provide protected battery voltage for the EC element.
Below is a block diagram of the high-side drivers:
Table 7-9 summarizes all the device high-side drivers with the corresponding feature sets:
