TPS1212-Q1 is a low IQ smart high-side driver with protection and diagnostics. The device has two integrated gate drives with 0.5A, 2A (GATE) and 100μA, 0.39A (G). With LPM low, the low power path is kept ON and the main FETs are turned OFF with IQ of 20µA (typ). The auto load wakeup threshold is adjusted using RBYPASS resistor placed across DRN and CS2–. IQ reduces to 1μA (typ) with EN/UVLO low. The device has accurate bidirectional current sensing (±2%) output (IMON) with adjustable I2t based overcurrent and short-circuit protection using an external RSNS resistor and FLT indication. Auto-retry and latch-off fault behavior can be configured. The device also has NTC-based temperature sensing (TMP) and monitoring output (ITMPO) output for overtemperature detection of external FETs.
